Saturday night to Colombo for the Test means we miss 6.28 and Sunday 6.44 - both or neither

Asked 27 days agoSeen by 13 travellers

If we leave Saturday night for Sunday 10.00 SSC, we are not on the kerb at 6.28 and we are not on the kerb Sunday 6.44 first Randoli either. The other fork was sleep-through-Saturday and stand Sunday with the room already held. This is: Colombo cricket means we drop the last Kumbal AND the first Randoli in one decision. Is that the honest trade or should one of us stay.

Saturday 6:28 = last Kumbal. Sunday 6:44 = 1st Randoli (phase starts). Sunday 10:00 = Test toss at SSC. You cannot stand 6:44 in Kandy and also be in the 10:00 crowd at SSC. Saturday night to Colombo drops both processions unless someone stays. Split the group (other thread) if the group disagrees.

If cricket is the week, go. If Perahera is the week, stay through Sunday 6:44 and watch the Test on a screen. Do not pretend a 22:00 Saturday Kumbal ending plus a night road equals a 10:00 SSC seat.
