We got up and had breakfast in the hostel which consisted of this very very sickly sweet toast that I could not eat. We decided to have a sight seeing day and went out to see the sights of Yangon armed with a map of Yangon given to us by the hotel manager and off we went.. We arrived at the bus stop rearing to go only to get on the wrong bus and had to get off and cross the road great start. We then waited 30 minutes to get on the bus only to realise every single bus passing us was going where we wanted it go. We were all very hesitant to get off the bus as a man got off every bus and was shouting the bus stops out like he was at an auction and they then drove off. The saying you snooze you lose definately applied. Locals were lovely they offered us seats next to them. We made it to shwe Dagon pagoda which was lovely, got roped into a tour however this was useful as we got the history and found put our birth days to throw water over buddah in our birthday corner. So the tour guide decided to tell us four times the same story as we wandered round. Next stop was the largest resting buddah pagoda which was a good walk away, we decided to walk we got lost several times and nearly ran over a few too. We made it, Lauren experienced her first Squatty... Barefoot. Finally we ended our day at K lake where we watched the sunset and Yangon entertainment.
