    Awesome Bagan

    December 23, 2018 in Myanmar ⋅ ⛅ 26 °C

    So last full day in Bagan. So nice and chilled. Me and Ghali (French living Maroccan friend) took an easy day. We've seen tons of pagodas already so next stop was museum. We were like rockstars! There were like 10 groups of people asking to take pictures with us. Plural - we had to pose with mom, ganma, aunts, sons and whonot! One group found us again and another photoshoot took place. Then a monk. Crazy. Nice museum though, lots of history, art, you name it. We found some local place for lunch - rice with coconut and chicken curry, really good food! Again just chilling and talking for hours. Next we had to do some Indiana Jones stuff again - a mission to find a secret temple that you can climb on - got the coordinates from a Dutch couple in Inle Lake. It's not easy to find, there are roads, paths, bushes, it took us a while but we found it! There is a lock but you just push and then some minor climbing to the top. What a view! We just sat there for 2 hours, talking, waiting for sunset. Another German family joined us later. We were all sitting in a ledge, silence, admiring amazing sunset with birds flying and singing around. Just beautiful and this was IT! THIS is what I came here for, THIS is what traveling is all about, this view, this spot, this moment! Planes, buses, scooters, just for this one moment that fills and recharges your heart and makes you alive! This is what it's all about ❤️
    Day ended in hostel with beer pong and lots of laughter with beautiful people!
