Driver offers it as a convenient pin. Kid likes elephants. We already planned Udawalawe Thursday. 23 Aug, first Randoli tonight if we still go to town. Clock is real.

Skip if Udawalawe is already on the week. Pinnawala is a holding place. Convenient is not the same as honest. First Randoli listed 6:44 does not need a detour that eats the kerb buffer. If the kid needs a stop, a banana and a bathroom on the highway is ordinary.

We skipped, made Kandy with time to sit. Fine. Udawalawe was the actual elephants.

If you go anyway, pay the official bit, do not buy touching. I will not invent a blessing fee.
