After a trip to the biggest bus terminal ever outside of Yangon with every bus having it,s own small office we embarked on what can only be described as the longest bumpiest bud ride in the world! The bus itself was comfy with reclining seats special pink neck rests and a loo (smelly). Stops for food and rinks were frequent. After what seemed an age we arrived in Bagan which was a 2 hour trip off the main highway between Yangon and Mandalay. Dawn approached as we haggled for a large taxi to take us to our hotel about 20 mins away. Dawn broke as we took over our rooms (early check in a speciality in all Bagan hotels due to night bus method of travel for most Burmese visitors (majority of tourists are Burmese). We then slept for a couple of hours and had a nice breakfast on the lawn. All wore our Christmas hats' did our video and handed out the presents. Made contact during the day with all at home to say Merry Christmas.
Edward, Floss and Christian headed off on an adventure while Alison and I took an easy stroll round the small town. All met up for a lovely dinner in a small local place. noodles again for tea!
Best sleep ever that night xx
