David talking now been a fabulous stay. Road to airport this morning past all these temples with a
Bright orange sun amazing. This place has been just what the doctor ordered, slow, relaxing, aplenty to see when and if we wanted, great food and a real sanctuary of a place to stay. People have been fabulous and very kind and thoughtful, just like we'd been told.
Back to Mary...
Yangon market place was amazing - HUGE and sprawling over a large area. There were 2 market places and we really only ventured into one after we had found a place to eat and me revive a bit hungry, hot and thirsty - not a good combo for me!
Had a lovely last day and night in Yangon though feet very sore from the barefoot walking around THE temple - Shwedagon. A magical place. Very peaceful despite the large numbers particularly later in the night. David was in his element! He loved it. I found it all a bit too over the top and more like a fantasy land than a religious place. But had a nice time talking to some students one studying English and the other physics. They came every Friday gift to meet and practice their english with foreigners visiting. They were lovely and no hidden agenda which was really nice.
Lots of monks and nuns and even some important people from Yangon.
We has to move off the steps of a pavilion while they came passed though not sure why as they didn't go onto it or anything. There were 2 lots of sweepers who came around and a line of moppers after them. Yet still me feet were filthy! Anyway a lovely way to finish our trip - though even more so for David than me!
Well another great holiday. Lovely friendly.
Picture will be added but it is not liking me at the moment!!
