Got up excited for my free breakfast... Which turned out to be a stack of bread and some jam (Asia is going to make me never eat jam sandwiches again lol) but still it was free. Rented some bikes from the hostel and then set off following a similar route to what the guys from chile had shown us. It didn't take long for me to realise I was extremely unfit and the fact the bikes were old and only had one gear didn't help things, going up hill was awful and going do...

Yann bought some pineapple, ...

The picture is our receipt for our room, i love that they called us Mr British because they dealt with Liam. The plan for today was to go to Schwedagon Pagoda which is one of the top sights in Myanmar. So we got up, had breakfast at the hostel, which was simple but nice still and then headed out to find a public bus to the pagoda.
