Arrival in Myanmar

We've arrived safely in Yangon, and are staying three nights at a nice little Homestay called Bikeworld (they also organise bike tours), just a few miles out of the centre.
Had our first day in Yangon sightseeing today including a ferry over to Dala where we took a bicycle rickshaw tour


I've got a feeling we might be seeing a few of these in the next few weeks ...


At dusk, we went to the Shwedagon temple-the 'Mecca' for Buddhists.





They appear to have embraced new technology and most of the Bhuddas there are adorned with flashing coloured leds.



Some of it was more Showaddywaddy than Shwedagon

Had a nice surprise at dinner tonight in a nearby fish restaurant - according to our waitress, inside the metal cap of our bottle of beer there was a message saying we'd won 500 kyat - I felt a little bit like Charlie and the chocolate factory -however, that's only about 50 pence- we had another beer anyway!
