    Inwa

    September 12, 2017 in Myanmar ⋅ 🌧 31 °C

    Inwa was the next ancient city on the itinerary. This is where I should have done some research. I didn't know what Inwa was an island, and a waterlogged one at that, until Win Aung deposited me at a pier and told me to take a ferry across and hire a horse drawn cart. The ferry took me across the channel in a matter of minutes and deposited me at a very muddy dock strewn with horse poop. There, several persistent souvenir sellers came right at me. They were annoying. They even tried the "you buy later" trick on me which I wasn't going to fall for. These souvenir sellers were at every stop, shoving postcards in my face even before I could disembark from my horse cart.

    My first priority was to get some lunch. After that, I got onto the horse cart.
