ATM queue at Bambalapitiya ATM — wait ATM or walk to Kollupitiya before we invent a cash shutdown
21 Aug, camera bag, phone only, tripod stays packed. Notes are thin. Line at Bambalapitiya ATM. Card still works at the room.

Try Kollupitiya if the line at ATM is a timetable. Queues are queues, not a shutdown. Draw in town; CMB machine can be a sad screen. I will not invent a town-wide cash closure. If both fail, another street, not a cousin with a POS.
Come early or be honest. Arriving at a listed start owns a shoulder view. 6:40 is listed, not a promise the first elephant is on the kerb.
We waited at ATM, then walked toward Kollupitiya. Fine. The first quote was a speech. Draw in town; CMB machine can be a sad screen.
Kids: skip Bambalapitiya ATM if they already melted. Pride turns ATM into a kerb argument and then buys a plaster. Sit-mat, zip water, leave.
Screenshot ATM before data dies. Write the number before the bag goes in. Kollupitiya is the backup pin, not a third speech.
