I declared today a rest day as I am fatigued. I did wander out to eat at Golden Duck Chinese restaurant, and then I wandered around the area west of the palace moat. I had to check out Golden Duck since there is a Golden Duck in Hawaii. I spent much of the rest of the day chilling by the pool.
In the evening, I met Michael, Jeff, and Julie at a Japanese restaurant. I then followed Michael to Ostello Bello to hang out, drink, and meet new friends.
That evening, I suddenly realized that I had spaced out on going to Mingun to see the massive cracked stupa. I had made a mental note to go there when planning this trip, and I would have rallied past my fatigue if I had remembered. I’m kicking myself for this oversight.
