We carried on round the Southern part of Myanmar, stopping in to Bago first. We enjoyed the big Schwemawdaw Pagoda, Kanbawzathadi Palace, Kyaik Pun Paya (4 Buddhas) and reclining Schwetalyaung Buddha. Olive went in her first proper tuk-tuk and her first motorbike taxi, on which she fell asleep! People were really friendly and Olive got loads of attention as she was the only baby we saw, let alone a western baby! The best bit was seeing a massive snake in a monastery, wow, apparently it is fed a live chicken everyday!
We accidentally flagged down a family outside our hotel, they were too polite to tell us they weren't a taxi and drove us here, asking shall we wait for you and drive you back home afterwards??! People were so friendly and Olive got soooo much attention.
We travelled on to the Golden Rock, which was impressive at sunset. Although our favourite bit was Livvy’s sheer enjoyment at the rollercoaster bus journey back down afterwards!!
The journey into Kayin state to Hpa-an was really scenic, with these massive boulders, reminding us of El Nido in Philippines.
Selina suffered the worst food poisoning here from fish curry from the restaurant everyone recommended! We hired a driver to tour round Hpa-an seeing the Buddhas tooth relic at Haw Ka Thaung cave...
... and walking through the massive Satan Caves with loads of bats, followed by a lovely boat ride under another cave and Lon Ba Ni gardens
Next stop Colonial Mawlamyine.
