Coastal train versus highway van if we need Colombo after Kallady on 20 Aug
20 Aug, south, leftover rain still on the trees. We are at Kallady with day bags. Not extracting a discount. Not paying a brochure number.

Kallady is ordinary south. Leftover rain is a day, not a drama. Walk if you have grip and the rain has stopped. Pay a short hop if there is a kid and the path is slick. Agree the fare before you sit.
Harbour morning: no whale is promised. Skip the desk that sells a guarantee.
Reef cuts are real. Beginner peak is a class, not a photo. If the pole goes red, you are out.
Damp rooms after rain are ordinary. Fan, dry sheets. Mattress wet: change. Smell alone is not a hospital.
Write Galle station, not a maybe halt. Pride waits at a halt with children and a story.
