After being ill repeatedly in Yangon and Bagan I was so relieved to feel better when we arrived at Inle Lake. As a celebration we dropped our bags and cycled straight to the local vineyard, which is beautiful I might add. Myanmar wine isn’t up […]
Bagan was my initial draw to Myanmar and I knew that it would be incredible but I didn’t expect to fall in love with it the way I have. It think I can honestly say that it’s the most impressive place I have ever been. […]
