Trekking

We trekked from Kalaw to Inle, which was a lovely 1.5 day hike through rolling hills and beautiful countryside.

Our home stay for the night (left)… our beds are behind where we are sitting… simple mats on the floor.

Misty early morning… we did wonder if we had woken up in Wales… in the summer… as opposed to Myanmar in “winter”…

Up into the misty hills, and down down down to the lake, where we enjoyed an hours boat ride to our hotel for the night… a lovely walk
