A quieter pace on Friday: a morning relaxing at the hotel (save for a short walk to the local village and visit to local monastery) before another enormous lunch:
After that, time to head back over the lake once more for our onward transit to Mandalay (via one more monastery - a very famous one which inspired the majority of Shan temple - and our hotel's - architecture.
At the airport, there was even time to kick back with a beer - and take a wander on the runway...
Once in Mandalay, it was on to our hotel at the foot of the Mandalay Hill for a leisurely evening in the Kipling Bar accompanied by "Rock Journey" - "the best unplugged band in town". Despite the hotel hosting a conference that weekend for the Minister of Health, we (well, Angus at least) still merited a mention on the "warmly welcome" board!
