We put on most of the clothes in our packs and go for a walk. We have three hours to kill before taking the train from Kalaw to Inle Lake.

In the dry season it is where you come for trekking but this being the wet season for us it was basically a hop down the road to somewhere different that chops a bit of time off the long bus trip back to Yangon.After breakfast in Nyaungshwe we went to the internet cafe and actually managed to get some photos on the http://www.travelblog.org/Asia/Burma/Eastern-Burma/Kalaw/blog-733936.html Estuvimos 2 das en Nyaung Shwe uno de los pueblos del lago Inle en donde se encuentran la mayora de los hoteles para los extranjeros hay otros en medio del lago pero son bastante caros.
