Two of us may go Colombo Saturday night for the Test (other thread). Two may stand 6.28. The Test pair wants to leave a suitcase here until a later bus so they are not dragging it to SSC. Host has not said yes. Is a Saturday bag-drop a real guesthouse thing or how we donate clothes.

Ask tonight, in one WhatsApp, not as you wheel it out. A house that is keeping two of you Saturday night can often hold a third bag. A house you have fully checked out of is not a left-luggage gazette. I cannot swear this host's policy. Do not leave passports in it (the scan thread is closed; keep documents on the body). No festival storage extra from a pavement guy.

If he says no, one small bag on the Colombo move, rest with the 6:28 pair. No invented storage fee.

Ours said yes, behind the desk. We tipped nothing extra because he had not asked. Fine.
