We have one first-light. Ordinary legs. Cover for platforms. Heat by eight.

Mihintale if stairs are honest and you want the hill. Anuradhapura if the group will hate 1800 steps after a wrecked bus. Do not stack both at first light. Water, cover, done by heat. Ticket at the booth, not a van uncle.

We climbed, sat shade, skipped a third dagoba. Fine. Friends who added the city after were cooked.

Cover shoulders, shoes off at the platforms. Camera, no flash on people praying.

Electrolytes, hat, start early. The debate is secondary to not fainting on the stair.
