Our next stop was Bagan, known for its thousands of pagodas. We got a night bus from Yangon. The bus was very nice and we managed to get some sleep but that was disturbed when we arrived in Bagan at 5 am! We hadn't booked any accommodation but luckily a girl on our bus had read about a cheap place to stay so we followed her there on our horse and cart...A popular mode of transport in Bagan. After a little nap we thought we would venture out to explore the ar...

We were a bit nervous about coming to Myanmar as we knew it would be much different from anywhere we had visited so far. There was no need, because as soon as we landed in Yangon we discovered how lovely the people of Myanmar are.

It was so nice seeing so little westerners a...

As well as this, it is well known for its tea and strawberries. We arrived much later than planned due to the insane traffic. We arrived on Saturday, also the kings ...

For the past 5 nights we had the pleasure of staying in a small wooden shack over looking the crystal waters of Perhentian Kecil, a small island off the east coast of Malaysia. The island has no roads therefore should you want to visit one of the beaches further up the island, you just hop in a taxi boat! We spent most of our time chilling on the gorgeous beaches, our favourite was romantic beach. We got there fairly early and there was just us and one other c...
