Today we are due to fly to the ancient city of Pagan at 17.30 so we spent a couple of hours lolling around a couple more temples and the Mandalay palace. We took our cases with us and transferred to the airport after finishing. Every time our driver wanted to tell us something he said "lisen me" and on the hours drive back to the airport lisen me became more frequent, I pretended to be asleep so Lesley listened but she has now decided that when she wants my attention she says "lisen me"
Much confusion at the airport as the check in desk was different to the one on the monitor, our boarding pass said gate 11 but the monitor said gate 12 and when we finally boarded we went through gate 11. The flight already had passengers on and when we arrived at Bagon half an hour later but half an hour late others stayed on for Yangon so it was like a bus. We weren't allowed out of the airport until we had paid 25000 ancient ruin fee each which supposedly goes to the upkeep of temples but the general feeling is that it goes to the military. It only took 15 minutes to get to the hotel which was nice and we had a good meal in the restaurant.
