stupas are clustered around a hill, some
tumbling down, others being restored
– painted gold, whitewashed or simply
having their red bricks replaced. This is
another very quiet, calm place – a light
wind gently stirring the leaves on the
trees is all you can hear.
Homeward bound
Our last day involved a series of
connections: a 7am long-tail boat from
the hotel, a minibus to the airport, our
flight to Yangon, a minibus to a park for
the kids to play and have lunch, another
minibus out to the airport, then finally
home to Singapore by around 10pm.
It was an incredibly long day to end
on, but also fitting in a way, in view
of the amazing number of sights and
experiences that we’d been able to cram
into our eight-day Myanmar trip, thanks
to Country Holidays and their amazing
tour guides. We definitely couldn’t have
seen or done half as much if we’d
booked this trip on our own, no matter
how long I spent planning it.
