What to do in Lake Gregory if it rains all afternoon
If the sky opens on Lake Gregory, is there a covered plan, or do I just sit with tea?

Keep Lake Gregory simple. Ask your guesthouse or the station board that morning, not a chat rumour. Write the fare before you sit, leave daylight for the return, and do not invent an official fee because someone at the kerb named one. If the weather turns, sit with tea and move the outdoor bit. Ordinary bags are fine.
We did Lake Gregory last week without a driver. One hop, one plan B, small cash, and PickMe where it actually pings. The tourist loop cost more and showed us less. If you only have one day, pick the main thing and skip the extra viewpoint.
If you are tired, stay nearer the bus stand or the fort/town centre rather than hunting a perfect Lake Gregory sunset. Cards fail in smaller places, so pull cash in Colombo, Kandy, or Galle first. Locals will tell you if a ticket is counter-only.
