Pay the booth in front of you. Shade is thin; water, hat, turn around if the heat wins. A WhatsApp screenshot is not a tariff I will invent. I will not invent a 21 Aug fee. If the porch is closed, it is closed; Gal Vihara is the other pin.
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 brick hall, then walked toward Gal Vihara. Fine. The first quote was a speech. Shade is thin; water, hat, turn around if the heat wins.
Kids: skip Lankatilaka brick if they already melted. Pride turns brick hall into a kerb argument and then buys a plaster. Sit-mat, zip water, leave.
Screenshot brick hall before data dies. Write the number before the bag goes in. Gal Vihara is the backup pin, not a third speech.
We took the quieter fork at Lankatilaka brick. Fine. No one clapped. camera bag, phone only, tripod stays packed. Ordinary 21 Aug.
Ask two locals near brick hall. The first number is a test, not a fee I will invent. Shade is thin; water, hat, turn around if the heat wins.
