Two Colombo clocks for Sunday 10.00 SSC. Leave tonight at 11, skip Saturday 6.28 entirely, have a full Saturday in Colombo before the toss. Or stay, stand 6.28, go Saturday night (other thread). We are not a last PickMe to CMB. We are not an 11pm flight still in Kandy. Road. Which clock.

Tonight 23:00 is two hours after a Kumbal, tired drivers, 1,749, leftover cones. A Saturday-morning move is the sane Colombo buffer before Sunday 10:00. A Saturday-night move after 6:28 is the short sleep (other thread). Tonight-at-11 is the worst of the three unless you are already on Gopallawa with a driver who has not stood the parade. I cannot swear a 21 Aug 23:00 road time. No invented fare.

If you leave tonight you miss the last Kumbal on purpose. That is a choice. Do not hail on Dalada. Inland / Gopallawa.

We waited until Saturday 8am. Colombo by lunch. Slept. Toss was human. The 11pm idea was adrenaline.
