From Hsipaw it's a 80km ride which took me 10 hours to reach Namhsan where I could stay at a local house as there are not yet any guesthouse. The lady where I stood took me to the monastery where I met a monch who came with me trecking. So I ended up in a monastery on the mountain. It was a good experience to spend their a night in the nons section.

This is a typical village setting. Simply beautiful!
You will be aware that you are in a developing country as soon as you leave the hustle and bustle of the main city centres. Rural life has its charms though as this picture illustrates.

A Bullock cart picked up this lady by the Pwe Kauk Falls. These carts are used to carry people as well as commodities over the dusty roads throughout Myanmar. The bullocks are so docile and placidly plod their way through the day.

Take bus #8 from Mandalay (corner 84th and 29th Street) and ask the driver to stop at the bridge.
We hired a taxi for a combine trip.

Sorry for boring you with the sunrise photos but it was such a beautiful morning. My son and I wandered around for a couple hours before we ate breakfast.

This is a picture of the important Buddha image here. It is located in a small altar that was crammed full of people.

Make a point of stopping at some of the local markets and road side stalls. They offer amazing home made produce such as wine and honey which is too good to miss.
