Birthday…

Seeing as I made a post for Ant’s birthday I thought I should make one for me too.

On my actual birthday we went out for a pedicure… nice pink toe nails for me, and then for diner in a nice little hotel not too far from the hotel where we were staying, which by this point we were desperate to leave. I had a birthday Creme Brule with candles and with heart shaped melon pieces!

The following weekend we went for champagne breakfast at a fancy hotel. This was good timing as due to delays with our apartment and a full house at the Summit (not to mention that the room rates doubled overnight on 1st October), we had unfortunately been forced to leave the Summit Parkview Hotel and move into the Yangon International Hotel. Lets just say the Yangon International Hotel is a bit of a dive, and made us long to be back in the Summit… and reminisce with fondness about its clean floors, functional bathroom, salmonella free breakfast etc… most of all we rejoiced that we did not have to languish in the Yangon International Hotel for 7 weeks… that would have been worse than depressing.

Anyway… back to the birthday breakfast. Super yummy. We gorged ourselves on all things fruity, cakey, cheesy, cold meaty, and dairy - I ate strawberry yoghurt, coconut panacotta, and lemongrass crème bruelle… yes it was slightly over indulgent… but you have to eat these things whilst you can. After breakfast we lazed in the hotel gardens by their beautiful pool… really relaxing… and quite the opposite of the Yangon International Hotel. This is definitely on our list of tourist attractions in Yangon, should you come visit we will most likely drag you here.
