Rather than take a boat we had a 4 hour car journey through the countryside. Interesting. Arrived at hotel Yadarnarpon Dynasty and then straight out for a boat trip up the river to Mingun. As usual the sights, sounds and local people going about their daily work was mesmerising. Back down river in relaxing fashion, 1 large boat for 2 people! Back to hotel and out for dinner to Unique Myanmar restaurant. Very touristy but good and very cheap. Back to hotel for some more cocktails.... Even though waitress said they did not do them, bartender did!!
