Our journey back to Yangon wasn't the most comfortable experience of my life!Seems to be a recurring theme in Myanmar. Especially when at a toilet stop Charlie decides to fall down a sewage hole and hurt his leg.
We finally get to our hotel after a little walk and discover that once again we are paying way to much money for the quality of our room.We are both so exhausted we couldn't really care at that point though.
Next day we decided to go on a little walk around the local area.This is much more local Yangon than the last place we stayed. We walk down to the port and what we see pretty much sums up Myanmar for us. The local boats in the port have seen better days (to be polite) and the government yacht was brand spanking new and shiny....typical!
The next day we did a city walk around the town.Taking in Little India and Chinatown.We went to the top floor of a posh office block to see the views over Yangon (and paid £2 each for a bottle of water for the privalige) but it was worth it!The views were amazing!
Myanmar is a really interesting place!Especially as at the moment there is a big shake up in the government. Myanmar is opening up to the rest of the world...we even saw a cash point.Really glad we came here before things change....the change will be for the better of the Myanmar people but to experience the old country is far more interesting!
