This is a top pick! ... ; beer. Phew! After 15 hours of travel, I'd made it to Kalaw, which is kind of sad given how close it looks to Bagan on a Myanmar map! As it turns out, Kalaw was excellent. It's an old British hill station - rather similar to the Cameron Highlands in ...
Pagoda Marathon
This is a top pick! ... and we disappeared into town for a couple of hours and Zaw got rid of the lacquerware man. It was a relief to be leaving Bagan. We must have seen about 20-30 pagodas and started to get really bored of them. We did visit a village though and they ...
