Nyaungshwe

Not that much western influence as we found in Yangoon , still a cozy small Shan city. We were able to buy Star cola (local stuff before Coca cola has been arrived) and we knew this from our last trip to Birma. See how old fashioned people like us can be happy ;)

Took a walk around and found a traditional Burmese massage (7$ /hrs) and it was great. The arranged boat trip on the Inle Lake must be cancelled for today coz of Mandys stomach. So will stay at the pool side today and do – nothing ;)

The Burmese food was great last night , curry and tea leaf salat and Myanmar beer as well for less than 10$.

Yangoon – Nyaungshwe

Ride started outside downtown and it was the most luxury bus we have ever used in SEA. Brand new Scania with 24 seats, catering and air con plus onboard entertainment. 22 $ each person. A very comfortable ride.

We arrived 6:30 am at the Princess Garden Hotel and we could check in immediately. Highlight of the hotel (which is not a backpacker hostel for sure ) is the 16 mtr pool.
