On to Mandalay

How's this for tourism? We went by a convoy of these horses and carts for this excursion to a monastery at a place called In Waa. Apart from just walking, we've also traveled by Tuk Tuk, gondola, coach and mini bus


Here's the gondola ride, at a place called Amarapura, which has the longest teak bridge in the world. Not that there would be lots of teak bridges, but it is very long. The idea was to watch the sunset from the gondola whilst sipping cocktails, but there wasn't much of a sunset.


Here we are with friends at the 'Taj Mahal', aka Myatheintan pagoda. This was very close to the boat and just the day before we left it.


This last picture is of is on our last night on the boat, toasting our impending departure of next morning with a couple of "Blue Irrawadies".


So, we're having another day in Mandalay, then off to lake Inle for a short time, before getting back to Yangon, then on to the main reason for the visit, Mawalmyine.
