Cycled from Mandalay to Bagan, and then from Bagan to Salay and back.These are two separate trips we did as one. It was wonderful. I cannot recommend it enough, as a way of experiencing Myanmar. We rode through towns villages to temples and monuments, ate the local food, smelled the smells, enjoyed the endless Mingalaba's and interactions with local people. We were guided and looked after by an utterly charming young man named YeYe, who looked after our every need,and whim,mind you. He together with our back up driver, Thun, really made the trip very special for us. A huge THANK YOU to them both. The evening stay overs were all well chosen and lovely. It was a truely wonderful holiday. Thank you so much YeYe, Thun and Grasshopper. We will be back.
