If we only do one Kandy thing besides 6:41 on 19 Aug, skip Maligawa or skip the lake
Energy for one extra. Second Kumbal listed 6:41 is the night. Morning: Tooth courtyard or a lake loop with kids. We can do the other tomorrow if hill seats stay sold out.

Maligawa in the morning if you might leave Kandy tomorrow. Lake loop exists in leftover light and on a rest morning. Courtyard has a dress and a queue. Do it when you still have patience.
Lake is kinder with wrecked kids. Maligawa is the one that needs covers and a brain. If tomorrow is likely, lake today, Tooth tomorrow.
If tomorrow is a hill hop at dawn, do Maligawa today. You will not want stone and shoes-off after a standing bus.
We skipped the lake, did Maligawa, held 6:41. Lake at 07:00 next day was empty and better.
