Would of been best to leave Yangon yesterday, 2 days max here. Raining again today heavily. Literally went to the gym and swimming pool in the day first workout I have done since around a month before I started travelling as was so busy sorting things with work and with the house so swimming lengths killed me! Bas struggled as well, going to be hard back at home when back to gym and running in general! Spent a lot of the day at the hostel and around town just sho...

Woke up early as the kids outside our hostel room were loud as f*** nearly threw one of them down the stairs! Had noodles for breakfast and then headed to the Shwedagon Pagoda which is the largest pagoda in Yangon and what I wanted to see when looking into Myanmar towards the end of my time in Thailand as I didn't even plan on coming to Myanmar. Short taxi trip there and it was awesome, massive small entry fee to get in and then walked around. Endless photos with...

Got to Yangon at 6pm so a bit later then expected. Pissing down in Yangon literally chucking down so walked around to find a hostel recommended in our Lonely Planet but they had no space so next door we found a ok-ish hostel so stayed there. Couldn't check in till 12 so seeing as it was around half 6 in the morning we just walked around the town, had some breakfast in this lush donut cafe and found a cinema which had Jurassic World on at 10 so would finish around...

We will be meeting Laura and Timon in Bangkok in a few days time as Laura is off to Vietnam and me, Bas and Timon are heading up to Chiang Mai. Boiling hot heat it was 38 degrees at midday. Had some lunch and began walking onto the main roads. The locals looked like they didn't have a clue what we were doi...

Hilarious looking back at last night. Pretty insane to just take over like we did but the locals were just saying 'thank you' when we were leaving so couldn't of been that bad?! :) Timon's eye was cut to hell after his fall he can't remember it but the tree on the floor snapped was evidence of it all! Nice to get a decent lay in woke up late which was nice. Had breakfast and apologised to the hostel manager who was lovely with it all. 'You are family don't worry ...
