We woke up at 4:45am two days in a row to catch the sunrise at Bagan. We drove along dark sandy tracks on our Ebike in search of the perfect place to watch the sunrise...we didn’t find the ‘perfect’ spot but we sure had fun trying to.
Yesterday we said goodbye to Myanmar and we made our way to Sri Lanka where we’ll be spending the next month. I can’t recommend Myanmar enough - amazing sights, the friendliest of people, good value hotels and Indian food in every town 😏
Rainy season in Asia looks like this - The before and after photos of us getting caught in a storm on Inle Lake.

I hesitated before jumping into this natural pool. The water was a milky blue colour from minerals which meant it got this fab colour, but it wasn’t clear. I hate jumping into the unknown, not knowing what lurks beneath. And just before I plucked up the courage Craig said, “there’s a snake!”. It was 2m long and swimming along the surface of the pool below us 🙈 I searched our pool and didn’t spot any snakes so I nervously took the plunge, touched the gravelly floor and felt safe.
Fishing on Inle Lake. This is how the locals used to fish, sinking this huge net into the water and pushing right down to collect all the fish from the lake bed. But new, easier methods came about and now they just use a normal net which you can see in the second photo. Regardless of the change of equipment, they still balance tremendously on the edge of the boat, never wobbling and using one leg to manoeuvre the oar and steer the boat.
When we find a gem like this it’s hard to wipe the smile off our faces.
Our second sunrise at Bagan was much more successful than our first when we were frantically driving down sandy tracks searching for a pagoda to climb. We missed the sunrise by a few minutes but it was a grey cloudy mess anyway. The next day was at this place and it was spot on 💁🏽
While everyone was out Temple hopping around Myanmar we were cannon-balling into this mesmerising swimming hole. We really didn’t expect to find a place like this in Myanmar but boy were we happy when we did.
TUK TUUUUK! We went on a 120km roadtrip to see some incredible blue waterfalls in this badboy. Such a fun day out!
A one hour boat ride along the Irrawaddy River led us to this magical spot.
Myanmar is treating us very well so far. Our days have been action packed with beautiful sights and smiles from all the locals. We walked up 1726 steps to see this cracking sunset at the top of the only hill in Mandalay. We were dripping with sweat but it was worth it 🙌🏼
