We wake up well before dawn and take a Tuk Tuk to the river where we board the RV Panorama for our journey down the Irrawaddy River from Mandalay to UNESCO World Heritage site Bagan where thousands of Temples and Pagodas dot the landascape. Wathing the sunrise on the Irrawaddy River is a truly gorgeous sight and an experience we'll always treasure. The reclining seats in the boat were very comfortable and there was a power outlet by each one. Breakfast and lunch on the boat were both quite good and we even stopped at a local village along the 8 hour journey. As we disembark from the boat and walk to our hotel we are immediately taken with the charm of Bagan. We take some time to explore the area of Nyaung-U and the market is one of our favorites ever, like a step back in a time but still offering a little of just about everything.

We are up way too early to take a boat trip to Bagan.
That is our ride to Bagan.
Oh, we have a puppy.
Hello.
Hi cutie pie.
It is Thanksgiving, so happy Thanksgiving.
I forgot.
Happy Thanksgiving.
I forgot a holiday where we eat.
Oh my goodness, it's early.
We get like two hours of sleep,
but we got like a eight hour boat ride ahead of us.
So awesome.
Hi.
This is Gert and Didi from Munchen, Munich.
Hi.
We are just enjoying this beautiful sunrise
coming up over the river.
Yes.
And hoping that the breakfast on the boat
is better than the breakfast our hotel gave us.
A raw egg.
The hard-boiled eggs were raw.
Good morning, ladies and gentlemen.
This is so cool.
They've moored up along the side of the...
Mingalaba.
I am in heaven.
We've had cows and they're my favorite.
And they're cute.
And chickens.
And pigs.
Well, that is our lunch on the boat.
This is really cool.
And that's our new Welsh buddy, Carl.
Hi, Carl.
How are you?
He's here running a marathon.
Welcome to Bagan.
We are now walking to our hotel.
What a beautiful little town.
I like this already.
Well, we're not exactly suffering through
here in Myanmar.
Check out this gorgeous hotel room.
And private balcony.
It's so pretty.
The rooftop terrace is absolutely beautiful.
Look at the moon.
Good morning.
We are in Bagan.
And it is a charming little city.
UNESCO World Heritage Site.
There are just pagodas sticking up everywhere.
We're off to explore.
Bagan Grocery Store.
Gotta go.
This is the most unique markets we've been to.
The cool old sewing machine.
Pedal power.
Ah.
This market right in the middle of
Myanmar and Bagan is awesome.
There's a little bit of everything.
So this and that is betel nut.
You put it in the leaf and chew it up
and it turns all red.
It's a stimulant.
I think it's a pretty strong stimulant.
I'm not gonna try it.
I also think it's fairly addictive.
That stuff is everywhere.
You do betel nut?
Yes.
Is it good?
Something that has been very surprising
is so many people speak really good English.
And they speak good English, like good accent.
Oh yes.
Give me your take on this Bagan market.
Indiana Jones.
It, the first movie.
It's what I've always wanted to see
in an old time market.
It was really cool.
That's pretty high praise.
