So it seems my time in Myanmar is almost up. Boy it has gone quickly! It seems only yesterday that I was boarding my flight to Mandalay and tomorrow I am going to be taking a flight back to Bangkok where I will be joined by my wife and then we will have five days …
Hello dear readers. I'm here at the Golden Kite Restaurant in Nyaungshwe with a few hours until I leave on my night bus to Yangon. I've had a cold for the last four or five days but slowly seem to be getting over it. Nyaungshwe is a sort of gateway town to Inle Lake, perhaps …
Greetings from Mandalay! Well it's been a great three days since I last posted and as you can imagine a lot has happened since then. I'm in Myanmar now for starters. And I have to say I love it so far. I've found the people warm and friendly and apart from the accommodation everything is …
