I am in Matara, not Kandy centre. First offering vs mid-morning. What is sane with traffic?

Temple, kovil, mosque: cover shoulders and knees. Matara street is mixed. Inside is not. Shawl in the bag. Hats off, shoes on the rack.

If you are tired, stay near the bus stand or town centre in Matara and skip the extra viewpoint. Pull cash in Colombo, Kandy, or Galle first. Cards are a maybe, not a plan.
