The Mehmsahib thought about buying a necklace at one place but they didn't have her size ...
We nearly took this fellah home from the market
Yesterday evening we made an important discovery- an Italian restaurant a short walk from our hotel that does great mojitos for about £1 - just the job to get our New Years Eve celebrations rolling. However our plans were almost scuppered when our boat ran out of petrol in the middle of the lake on the way home. Fortunately one of the driver's mates came along and gave us a tow.
So we were back in time to buy a bottle of the local wine (not bad), meet up with Ljubo, a friend we first met at Bikeworld in Yangon, and get a few cocktails in before enjoying a really nice duck dinner put on gratis by our hotel (4 Sisters). After dinner Ljubo insisted on showing us another cocktail bar, and judging by the crowd it was probably the only one in town open to see in the new year. There was a little moment of panic at one stage when the mojitos were taking a long time to arrive - apparently they ran out of mint leaves and had to send out for more (probably could have grown it faster), but always willing to be flexible, we made a strategic switch to that other cocktail I can't spell (ciprihina?). Details after that remain a bit sketchy-however we woke up at 4 Sisters this morning so I guess we made it back ok. Think I might stick to drinks I can spell in the future!
