Desert Wildlife

This was a great day for the kids, a quieter one for me. They went with Flo on an educational half day in the desert to discover and understand wildlife. See Flo's blog for details.

I, for my part, stayed on the campsite and tried to plan our stay in Myanmar. Result I have concluded that it's probably not going to happen and we will go to Laos instead. It's not the politics of the generals, as we wanted to visit to see the real people we had seen on our last trip Yangon to Mandalay, but rather the crazy burocracy and cost of entering the country. You need a visa, you need to buy health insurance, and you need a covid test pre arrival and on arrival. That is around $125 each with a risk that one positive test and they won't let you in and there is no refund. It was too expensive, too risky with a group of 6.

At the end of the day, we went for a walk and visited a rock & crystals museum. Very interesting and educational.Lue lisää
