Saturday 22 Aug, Tennekumbura. First tuk quote feels like a tour for a ten-minute hop. Write the board, not a blog. We are grandmother flies CMB tomorrow afternoon.

Agree the fare before you sit. The first number is a test. A short hop is not a tour. If they will not name it, walk. PickMe on a bigger road if the rank is theatre.

Locals stay where they can stand. Pride argues with a pole and then buys a plaster.
