Pyin U Lin: Photos 63 to 66

Almost immediately after arriving in Pyin U Lin we got sick so we ended up staying six days resting. Because it was several thousand metres above the plateau where Mandalay is, it was much cooler and less dusty. The temperature was a lot more enjoyable. There are a few hidden gems in Pyin U Lin. Meaning yummy delights! We found an Indian restaurant called "Family Restaurant" which served really good vegetarian platters with chipati and also a bakery recommended by the lonely planet called the "Golden Triangle" with really good cheese croissants and coffee. The night market has a lot of deep fried bread and stir-fry but we found a really good clay pot spicy noodles. We bought mangos every night which made a really nice treat at the end of the day from a lady beside the hotel. During our stay we mostly relaxed, watched movies, kept up with the world news through CNN, tried out different restaurants and recovered from our cold.
