After a long hop into Kandy on 25 Aug: skip a maybe coastal halt: zip snacks no getting down beats answer a one-digit-off WhatsApp?

We did the quieter fork in Kandy. Fine. No one clapped. Skip a maybe coastal halt: zip snacks no getting down beats answer a one-digit-off WhatsApp.

Honest disagreement: skip pride. Tuesday 25 Aug is 3rd Randoli, table 6:53 PM — when they start leaving the Maligawa, not when the tusker fills your pin. Street is free. Raja Veediya is not a car park. Do not invent a municipal ticket. Kandy still works if you dump bags and walk the last bit. Leave a margin for the walk.

One night only: keep the Kandy pin if it is already paid. Skip a maybe coastal halt: zip snacks no getting down beats answer a one-digit-off WhatsApp. If a boat desk wants a deposit, fetch a current Met marine PDF rather than guessing. Water in the bag beats a maybe stall.

Ask two locals. The first number is a test, not a fee I will invent. Peradeniya Road last drop, then walk; Good Shed bays if you want a bus. Then tea, then the room.

Kids: sit. Pride turns this 25 Aug fork into a speech at the kerb.
