Yay it's holiday time, we are heading off to the beach for a few days with Nick & Sarah.
We arrive at 1:30 and head straight to the bar for a late lunch and of course cocktails, the first night is spent exploring the cocktail bars on the beach and then an early night.
The next morning is an early start as there is space for 2 of us to go on a flight, very exciting as it's quite an exclusive area to fly in. Richard and Sarah went on the flight whilst Nick & I went on retrieve to try and get some good pics of the balloon. It's great going on retrieve as you get to see areas where you wouldn't necessarily if just on holiday and this included some of the local villages and also a street market.
The rest of the day after a nap was spent exploring on e bikes, we went to the local fishing villages and saw where they dry the fish and again how the locals live which is always eye opening.
Day 2 was boat trip time so we haggled with a local boat man and managed to get a 4 hour trip for 30,000 kyats which is approx £17, the boat trip includes fishing, snorkelling and then a lunch stop at the lighthouse which was lovely!! We then had a walk along the beach where they do massage, there is something rather idyllic about having a massage whilst listening to the waves crashing against the rocks......this has got to be my most favourite place!!
Sadly only 3 nights/2 days spent here and after a sad goodbye with our lovely friends it was time to head home to Bagan via Yangon and to pick up Tart AKA Tem on the way! Oh dear Tems arrival means more cocktails & drinking!!
