Colombo to Galle on leftover-rain Sunday — Southern Expressway van or the coastal train from Fort
We need Galle by mid-afternoon. Highway van is a prepaid pin. Coastal train is the view. Leftover rain, not a cyclone. Bags two backpacks. Not trying to make a story out of a puddle.

Expressway van if the clock is real. Coastal train if you can miss a sit and you like the sea wall. 23 Aug leftover rain does not close the Southern Expressway. The coast road puddles. Ask the Fort board for the train, not a cousin. I will not invent a festival extra on either.
We took the highway van, sat, arrived. Fine. Train would have been a postcard and a maybe.
If you want Unawatuna, Galle station is the grown-up halt. Do not stand on a maybe stop with bags.
