Day 37: Bagan

Today started with the final episode of the Madeline McCann documentary…. Breakfast was great again, this time on offer was a tofu vegetable curry and fried battered potato stick things, along with all the other staples offered the previous day. After brekky we set out to explore all that Bagan has to offer on an […]

Day 36: Bagan

Kyle’s birthday! Unfortunately for him we were both rekt. We dragged ourselves out of bed at 8.30 to get breakfast, again provided by the hotel. It was probably the best yet, with plenty of options including fruit, eggs, rice, a vege pork curry and a water cress salad (which was super yum). Straight after brekky […]

Day 35: Nyaung Shwe – Bagan, Myanmar

Luckily, as the hotel was empty, we were allowed a late check out free of charge, so we could continue to explore the city and use the hotel as a base for the day before catching our night bus to Bagan. The first thing on the list for the day was sorting all our chores, […]

Day 34: Nyaung Shwe

Breakfast was included at the hotel and consisted of a crepe with honey, bananas, watermelon, toast and an omelette. This was also the first time I tried Myanmar tea, it was very sweet as is made with condensed milk. Our room in the Five One Star Hotel was spacious and clean, a good spot to […]

Day 32 – Day 33: Kalaw – Nyaung Shwe, Myanmar

Today was the first of our two day one night trek to Inle Lake! We wanted to do the two nights but apparently it’s too hot at the moment. Following an omelette each for breakfast at the homestay, we were picked up at 8 am to drive to the start of out trek. We only […]

Day 31: Kalaw

We were able to check in at 3am after taking the fanciest tuk tuk we have been in yet. The hotel is like a big villa and our room was beautiful! Not bad for $45 total per nightu – our most expensive yet! Kalaw is in the mountains and for the first time in months it […]

Day 30: Yangon – Kalaw, Myanmar

Our last day in Yangon started with a curry and rice for breakfast. It turns out that the little brown lumps in the rice are in fact soy beans! This was followed by a quick pack and an episode of ‘The Disappearance of Madeline McCann’ to make the most of the TV. Following checkout we […]

Day 28 – Day 29: Yangon

After a lot of sleep we got up and the rats went to sleep for the day! We had breakfast at the hostel which was rice with soy beans, a boiled egg and pickled vegetables, Burmese style. We then asked to change rooms to get away from the rats. We ended up in another double […]

Day 27: Bangkok – Yangon, Myanmar

For our last breakfast in Bangkok we headed to our favourite smoothie spot next to the bridge. I had pork pad thai while Kyle knocked back thai sweet basil chicken, both accompanied by a banana smoothie. We then picked up some more pastries to take with us to the airport. At around noon we ordered […]

Day 26: Bangkok

Another sleep in wooo! Again followed by a great selection of bread and pastries at the same bakery as it was just so damn good the first time. It was another relaxing afternoon spent exploring the streets and napping. For our late lunch we went back to Kyle’s favourite spot to demolish some crispy pork […]
