Arrived in Mandalay - all ok

Internet so slow... Cant upload the pics :(

Yipee we actually made it to Mandalay all thanks to Philip Young's hard work over the last few years and the support of his 1st Class Team.

3 cheers :))

We left the peaceful Inle Lake Resort at 8.00am..


and were bused back to the 'carpark' in the field.


. All cars present and correct..




Clocked out at 8.30am


And we were off on the back roads through the villages and their farmlands..


Market Day today.. I think its market day everyday tho..




Please note the smart phone!! ..



Look at these chaps happy playing with an old tyre...
 

 


This was a very strange chap on a moped..



It seems that Women do all the hard work in Burma.. Lol not sure if they are conscripted in or what goes on here...



Quick spark plug & filter change at the lunch stop ...


Note the Solar Panel. 1st sighting in Burma.. 




The start of the descent that actually turned out to be a lovely run. Very little traffic :))








Last fill up for the day.. 
6500 myanmar dollars...




The run into Mandalay was manic..
Quite difficult and very challenging. The Burmese drivers are just totally oblivious as to whats behind or at the side of them. They just pull out or across whenever they please.. You can toot as much as they want but they just drift along.. A few scarey moments i can tell you!!



A quick glimpse of the walled city but no time to stop and stare..


And there we have yet another super cool pool..
