We stayed 2 nights in Aung Mingula guesthouse in Nyaungshwe and did a full day boat trip with Mr. Win and the slightly demented boatman. The boat trip was interesting, very touristy but enjoyable. Again the pics tell the story better than words. During the trip we stopped at a market, the floating village, silk weaving, knife workshop, silver wo...

6 jours dont 1 jour en bateau, 1 jour en velo, 2 jours a marcher dans la montagne et 2 jours a rien faire, impeccable. Super endroit

I stepped off the all night bus from Yangon into the twilight of dawn on Monday morning in Shaungyi. From there I caught a ride into Nyuangshwe on the back of a public transport pickup. As I bumped along slowly with the other four early morning passengers, the sun rose up over the eastern mountains which the form the valley that holds Inle Lake....

Here there were a few people selling fruits, vegetables, flowers, and other odds and ends that were dwarfed by the hawkers on boats sellin...

Really nice day walking around rice fields, visiting farmers and locals... Also some English teaching at a Primary school. Good times. Enjoy the pictures. :)

So I'm just creating this to upload the pictures. I think you can get the idea from the pictures though; an amazing day boating around Inle Lake.

So this morning I took a flight with Kang from Bagan to Heho (near Inle Lake). From there we took a taxi to Nyaungshwe (where most of the hotels are), which I really really like, so far. It still feels really quite small, as Bagan was, but even more rural and without all of the vendors that were starting to get on my nerves a bit. We just took i...
