Off the Beaten Path- Myanmar(Inle Lake)


Inle Lake

Inle Lake is the biggest and most known lake in Myanmar. We hopped on a boat and continued to be impressed of all the houses that were built up on stilts around the whole lake area. We saw the women that are from villages that have the rings around their necks, went to a massive pagoda to see pictures of the festivals they have. We then went to a cigarette making shop where the ladies were rolling them by hand. Our final stop before our hotel was to see the Jumping Cat Monastery. To my dismay the cats are no longer jumping because here is too many tourists and they are too tired. Oh well maybe next time. Our final stop was to our hotel that is built up on stilts right on the lake. We ended up watching the sunset, having a few drinks and then off to bed for our flight out the next morning. In the morning we went around a local market to see all the types of food and goods they had for sale. I actually wish I would of stayed here longer as there was a lot more to explore….
