We opted for the shared minivan option to go back to Mandalay after our freezing cold experience. One of the highlights was crossing this bridge (clearly a dried up river bed) via the railway bridge. Eeek!
Definitely rails.
....and now we are back on the road.
Bathroom stops can be scary
Food stop.
Window delivery.
Made it! And this is our hotel......
Phew.....there is an alleyway to the back where we have to say we spoiled ourselves for the night.
We had a full day so back to the bikes we went since we had been told of a good little self directed bike tour in lonely planet. I'm not sure what made us think we could get around Mandalay with only this but off we went.
It took us to amazing places we never would have seen. First off, the areas where they were packaging tons of onions and other vegetables.
Interesting alleys...
We crossed over this great little bridge revealing so much garbage in the water.
We found ourselves back at the place where we took the boat to Bagan which was much different in the light.
No idea what this boat was all about.
Drying clothes
Where the street meets the water.
Old style scales in use everywhere.
Playing a game like hacky sack and I was amazed how the boys hike up their longyi (skirt).
Travelling petrol station.
These kids were sliding on cardboard over and over again having a blast.
Piled high.
Time to head back to the hotel....and Bangkok. We have said we will be back to Myanmar.
