Need shade at Mount Lavinia now — one drink on the terrace, then the lane bakery — last-bit after dark, pin the main road
Need a sit at Mount Lavinia. Tourist terrace looks dry and priced like Colombo. Bakery two lanes in has a queue of locals and plastic chairs. Not trying to be cheap for sport. Trying not to be the rude table. Monday 31 Aug, leftover humidity. Last-bit after dark, pin the main road. Cannot tell if this is ordinary or a tired mistake. Locals, please contradict the group chat.

Walk two lanes. The terrace is a pretty courtyard with tourist prices. Nobody is scamming you; they are just pricing for the terrace. A bakery bun and tea is the ordinary sit. If you want the courtyard photo, have one drink and leave. Do not camp a four-top for email. If the kid is melting now, pay the soda, ten minutes, move. Shade is the need, not the brand.
Kettle is enough. Banana if nothing opens. I will not invent a breakfast surcharge.
