Bathers near Pindaya
Drove through beautiful countryside – more photos and pens and saw Pa’O people on the way. [Also a] Danu village –where they grow rice, etc.
…then Pindaya – photograph bathers in the lake [see headline picture] – Danu? people. Then then Pindaya caves to see 8000 images of Buddha – explore caves.
…then to umbrella factory –> Pindaya for lunch at Kyainlite Restaurant for steamed duck and wind chicken and ABC Stout at last!!!!
The ABC Stout saga had been run for much of our visit. I had read that this brew, which I had never tried before, had been a major thing in Burma before the Second World War and was still produced locally. I was keen to try it. Kyaw struggled to find it for us, until this place. In the end, I had to admit that it beat the stouts that I knew well – Guinness and Mackeson, only by dint of tasting more like rusty nails than its better-known counterparts. Kyaw looks a little disappointed in the above picture.
