low wall on Bennet Soysa metre for 4th Kumbal listed 6:40 — hold the gap or slide toward Dalada Veediya
21 Aug, two of us, daypacks, no balcony budget. We already stood two or three Kumbal nights and mostly learned backs and umbrellas. Desk says fourth Kumbal is listed 6:40. Is Bennet Soysa metre the actual line tonight, or is Dalada Veediya the kinder gap with an exit. First timers still in our group, no balcony budget.

Hold Bennet Soysa metre only if you will arrive early and sit low. 6:40 is the listed start, not a promise the first elephant is on the kerb at 6:40. Dalada Veediya is a side view and an easier leave. Pick one metre and stay; two names, one sit. I will not invent a reserved metre or a street fee.
Pay AC if it actually runs and the kids need it. Fan is ordinary if you will sleep. Ask to see the unit, not a brochure.
Hang the wet set. Packing wet ruins the next bag. A cheap town peg beats a sealed pouch toward Dalada Veediya.
We bought the ordinary ticket, walked, came back. Nobody asked us for a rumour number. Fine. Board first.
