February 21st - March 2nd, 2014. (MYANMAR, Bagan)
Wonderful to revisit Burma (Myanmar) again since they are no longer under military rule. Flew from Bangkok straight to Mandalay where I spent a few days. Then I took a boat to Bagan. The 8 hour boat ride took 32 hours as we ended up grounded due to low water in the middle of the river overnight. Loved Bagan and stayed there for over a week and saw the magnificent Valley of Temples with several thousand abandoned temples dotting the valley. I had hoped to take a sunrise balloon ride over the Temples but all were booked weeks in advance. I did climb to the top of several Temples for some good photos. The people were the nicest people that I have met ANYWHERE in the world. They honestly wanted to help you and it was not money motivated.
