Myanmar: Biking Inle Lake and Village Leg Rowers After School(video)

We Said Go Travel http://www.wesaidgotravel.com/ October 19, 2012 After the biking in Bagan, I was not sure about biking around Inle Lake. I thought, “Can I do it?” It was supposedly thirty minutes to the Lake but of course it was not. We passed a winery that we would visit later. Near a school, I almost fell down so I was so dizzy and felt sick. We never saw Inle Princess Resort Hotel but we did stop at Inle Resort Hotel. It is a large resort and we sat and enjoyed the lake. I especially enjoyed the black swans.

On the way to the village Mine Thauk we saw a few schools, an orphanage, and a monastery, we passed Red Mountain Vineyard but did not go this day. See our other biking video for views of the vineyard.

We had a noodle lunch at Wang Thouk Restaurant. The best part of the day was when we went to the jetty: we saw all the school kids picked up by LEG rowers!
We also saw festival boats for 45 and 104 people.

The ride back was not too bad. It was much cooler. George said: “You did not give up.” That was my nice thing he told me. I felt so sick at one point but I did keep going and it was a great day.

This movie is from our 28 days in Myanmar (Burma) from September 28, 2012 to October 26, 2012 and our year TRIP in South East Asia, see all the videos from our trip.
