Pedlar Street chairs versus Dutch Hospital for a 20 Aug leftover-rain sit — elder knees, slick clay
rampart stones, leftover humidity, we want a sit. Dutch Hospital looks dry and priced like Colombo. Pedlar Street has a queue of locals and plastic chairs. Not trying to be cheap for sport. Trying not to occupy a terrace for a 900-rupee feeling. toddler in shallows.

Walk two lanes. Dutch Hospital is a pretty courtyard with tourist prices. Nobody is scamming you; they are just pricing for the terrace. A Pedlar Street 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.
We sat Pedlar Street, walked through after. Fine. One soda on the terrace was enough.
If you sit a table, order. Occupying courtyard shade with water from a bottle you brought is the rude version.
Pride sits two hours on a terrace and then complains the south is expensive. One soda, move.
