Notes thin. Fort machine already a line at 8. Pettah might be worse. Card works at the guesthouse but we need cash for tuks and fruit. Not inventing a cash shutdown.

Try the next machine, then the Pettah-side one, then a bank hall if you have ID. Fort ATMs run out when everyone thinks the same on a return Monday. Queues, not a shutdown. Do not change money with a cousin and a POS on the pavement.

We walked one block, shorter line, got notes. Fine.

If both fail, the hall inside a proper bank, not a pavement uncle.

Kids: one adult queues, the other sits tea. Pride hopping five machines in a panic spends the morning.
