Trek from Kalaw to Inle Lake, Myanmar – Day 3 (08.07.2013)
Marching all morning through red mud, pine forests, mountain highway, down the rocky mountainside, into bamboo growth and then arrival at the destination: Inle Lake.
It took us 3 days, 50 kilometres, 4 mountain ranges, a dozen villages, 2 blisters (for me at least, poor Cara had 8!), a bout of Burma Belly, and innumerable beautiful memories to reach Inle.
The prize? A one hour boat ride across her waters.
So many times in Myanmar I’ve had the sensation that it is too surreal to be true – an eery sense that I’m living a kind tourist’s Truman Show where life is staged for my benefit. I know that can’t be true but there is postcard perfect beauty around every turn and this country just keeps taking my breath away. Inle Lake is another truly magical spot.
