On the road to Mandalay - we went by night bus and I slept almost all the way, so I actually can't tell you anything about the road.

With only one day in the city we had to walk a lot to cover the palace, pagodas, monasteries and river but we did it. Another lovely city but two days would have made it easier to see city and surrounding area.

The road to Mandalay poem actually is about the river not a road and that is how we left the city - so we should say the road from Mandalay!!
