Inle Lake is 22km long with the locals living and working in stilted bamboo houses.
We took a short walk to jump into our 3 boats to take us around the lake. We saw the unique fishing techniques with some of them posing at the end of their small wooden boat, standing on 1 leg, paddle in 1 hand and their big fishing net in the other being pushed out to their side with their other foot - gave me some ideas for my total stability class ;-) !!
Our stop offs on the lake included a busy market, silk and lotus weaving (straight from the lotus plant!), cigar making, boat building and a walk around some basic lovely hidden pagodas.
