- And finally the beach...
In the morning one breakfast had magicked itself in to two, so we gobbled down as much as we could stomach at the early hour. It was another long day on a very bumpy bus before we reached Pyay where Posted by LauHot10 in Wanderlust | Oct 4, 2009

The bus picked us up from outside the hotel which was one good thing although it was about an hour late, an hour which we could have spent in bed! Which was a little frustrating and it began the theme Posted by LauHot10 in Wanderlust | Oct 4, 2009

- A few days in Mandalay...
A combination of headaches, an over packed bus with minimal leg room and the on board tv turned up to the max made the journey to Mandalay less than restful. To make matters worse when our tolerance levels were at Posted by LauHot10 in Wanderlust | Oct 4, 2009
- A look at life on Inle Lake
We arrived at Inle Lake around 5am and unfortunately the journey had not provided much in the way of rest. Spitting is a part of every day life through out most of Asia but here it seems even more common. Posted by LauHot10 in Wanderlust | Sep 7, 2009

The bus trip to Taungoo was uneventful but took a little longer than we had been told it would so by the time we arrived it was beginning to get dark. Due to me being a little eager and thinking Posted by LauHot10 in Wanderlust | Sep 7, 2009

A little disclaimer before I begin the Myanmar blogs – I feel that I have to be a bit guarded about what I say just because I wouldn't want there to be any chance that I get someone in trouble. Posted by LauHot10 in Wanderlust | Sep 7, 2009
- Inle Lake
Bagan is all about the pagodas and Inle is about relaxing on a boat and talking with locals...probably these two places are the most peaceful we have ever been to...but before getting into details about that we must explain you Posted by sonianick in Nick & Sonia's Travel Experience | Aug 25, 2009

The 12 hour bus journey to Bagan was tiring but turned out to be quite funny anyway. During the ride they played a Burmese movie; obviously we could not understand a word they were saying but the film itself was Posted by sonianick in Nick & Sonia's Travel Experience | Aug 23, 2009

After some days in Bangkok we moved on to Yangon, the capital of Myanmar (or Burma, depends who do you ask)...
