Mandalay Resorts - Reviews and Rates

After a breakfast on the room of the roof of our hotel with Nadav and Hilde, 2 fellow travelers that I should met again next Sunday to do a trek in the minority village of Kalaw near by the Inle lake.

Well, it has been a few days now in Mandalay, can't say that I have been up to too much but I have been seeing some of the sights.

Let me tell you, ...

That night we stayed with them in the Mr. Brown class (t...

Go to the Summary Page ___________________________ My travel companions had decided to go to Hsipaw, north-east of Mandalay, and it looked great. But I felt I hade come to Burma to get lost alone with the locals, and I knew I would just regret it if I stayed all the time with other travellers. So I decided to go up the Ayeyarwady, being sure tha...

I'd arranged to meet up with Rachel to travel Mandalay together. This meant getting up at about 5AM stumbling out into the dark and getting a trishaw driver to take me to the port. This wasn't helped by the fact that my stomach was bloated and I seriously suspected I was heading my way back to illness again, oh yes! Indeed, before we'd even left...
