Riding slightly ‘different’ bikes around Mandalay
This is a pagoda
Standard meal – Chicken fried rice
This was pretty much what Burma looked like for 3 days
8 lanes on each side with very little traffic
16 lanes of nothing
I was told to look out for a famous statue in this town.. I think I may have taken a photo of the wrong one..
I wasn’t the only one sheltering from the heat..
A room on a lake
I think this is all water in the wet season
This happened just in front of me… bit of a close call really
There are pagodas everywhere in Burma and I deliberately tried to avoid taking pictures of too many. Consequently, I probably didn’t take enough.. but regardless, this is what they look like
Hpa-An clocktower
That red soil made a right mess of my bike when it rained
First proper climb in over two weeks…
…and it put me in a good mood
What happens at the border of two countries that drive on different sides of the road…
My first ride in a tuk-tuk
Another pagoda
After 212 kilometres.. this was quite nice
Happy Birthday to my sister. For anyone wondering why I stopped between Leg 3 &4 – that is the reason
A very laid-back elephant
That is a frog…
One of the many palm oil plantations
Climbing through a forest at sunrise isn’t a bad way to spend a morning
After a very long climb. The camera doesn’t really do the view justice
Unfortunately I didn’t see any wild elephants
South China Sea (I think it is anyway – although it’s quite a way from China)
The extent of my bird-watching. These b*st*rds were making a racket outside my window all evening
Massive thanks to Jim and Mel at T3 Bicycle Gears in Singapore. Made my bike feel like new again
