Myanmar Adventures // Part 2
Having been in and around Yangon for 4 days we then set off to travel a bit more around the country. Our first stop was Bagan which is an ancient city filled with thousands of buddhist temples and pagodas. Between the 11th and 13th century over 10,000 temples were built of which about 3,000 remain today.

We then travelled to Inle Lake in the Shan state where a huge community of people live and work on and around the lake.

Finally we finished our trip back in Yangon staying in the Governors Residence, a beautiful old teak house set in its own oasis in the middle of Yangon
And that’s it folks, a few shots from our whirlwind tour of the beautiful Myanmar
