Climbing a tree to harvest ‘Toddy’ wine
Sitting in the lap of luxury
Running into a mudslide across the tracks – 2 am – of course
Train station in Pyay – after 12 hours riding through the night – lovely
All night train ride – then we end up at a grimy guesthouse
After our long train ride and crappy hotel we needed a nap at a temple. While there people were taking pictures of us because we were foreign and handsome i’m assuming
Another nice golden pagoda
Original style pagoda still standing in the old city
Solid brick pagoda – built in 4th century – the old city was the largest in SE Asia at its peak
