21 Aug, one dumped suitcase at the room, daypacks for the pin. Hill or intercity reserved is gone. Pride wants the train photo. Elder wants a seat.

Elder gets the seated option. Stand first; the river is a jetty, not a private tour by default. Unreserved from dawn is a lived hop if legs are honest. I will not invent extra carriages. If you miss it, Madu jetty still moves people.

Elder move: plate, shade, then decide. Balapitiya stand will still be there. Shade before pride.
