Ada says after the scroll and awards the Esala Perahera festival officially ends today. Take a night bus out after Day, or keep the room one more night and leave fresh.

Keep the room if Final and Day will stack on the same legs. Take the night bus only with a confirmed seat and a calm walk to the stand after crowds thin. Official end is after awards, not the moment the last elephant turns.

If the night bus is already paid and close, use it. If not, do not scramble a new one half-asleep.
