“Early
start” since that is our last day among the wonderful Bagan temples. Today we

Right, a
day on a horse cart. The cart had only one axle, so the ride was doomed to be a
bit like riding on a camel. The horse was a bit small and thin but never the
less happy and agile. The start was early, 07:30 and the price: 17 000 Kyat.

Our last
day in Mandalay. We packed our stuff and didn´t even had the energy to swim in
the pool. We were supposed to be picked up at 11:00 by our driver so we
finished the stash of beers and sat on the sofas and watched the Mandalay hill.
Thanking ... Read more >

We wanted
to get out of Mandalay for a day. It´s not the best looking city in the world.
On top of that, it was very hot and noisy. Also some strange wind blew in last
evening and covered everything in fine red dust. So we read about those

Woke up at
