Colombo to Jaffna overnight bus on a Sunday night — still ordinary or should we have flown because first Randoli emptied the good seats
Kandy is a kerb tonight, we are not on it. We want Jaffna tomorrow. Overnight bus is the plan. Partner saw a Facebook post about seats gone because of Perahera. Bags are two backpacks.

Overnight bus is still ordinary. First Randoli listed 6:44 is a Kandy street clock, not a Jaffna seat embargo I will invent. Ask the actual counter. If the AC bus you wanted is gone, the next one is the next one. Flight is a pin, not a must. Do not buy a Facebook rumour.
We booked the counter, sat, arrived. Fine. No one mentioned Randoli on the bus.
Elder: flight if stairs and overnight are a problem. Pride believes a Facebook post.
Jaffna in August is hot and fine. Cover at kovils. I will not invent a Nallur clock for 23 Aug.
