…to Golden Island cottages, who had dumped our booking so we cunningly found Shwe Inn Tha hotel instead (smaller quieter, “better”) – found bugs and lost in one room – seemed to be winning fight in another. Dinner very good, especially the gefilte fish (curries also good).

After dinner we seemed to have beaten the bugs but the night singers and early morning boats make sure we didn’t sleep too much.
