our boat
Time for our trip to Bagan. Not going to be easy either. We got our tickets a few days in advance after some difficulty in finding the ticket office, if you would call it that. I think it was $10 USD/person. Anyways, underway early. On the boat at 5:30 a.m. to get a seat. This is a public boat so fills to the rim with people and goods.
Was a weird morning for weather. We later found out there was a cyclone hitting Bangladesh that was throwing off some cool winds and rain towards us. We were actually wearing everything we had to stay warm. Anyways, as this is a public boat it stopped many times to drop off and pick up more and more people and goods. Very amazing but as the day drew on, it was time to get there. We arrived Bagan at 9 p.m. so a very long day. That and Joanna quite sick, as got respiratory infection from our a/c in Mandalay.
