Inlay : Cycling up to the Red Winery

Posted on March 22, 2014 by jipp

Inlay that I found out was far better organized in terms of basic facilities and infrastructure compared to Bagan. The reason being was probably the population there – which was far bigger and needed to be entertained more compared to Bagan which was more like a cluster of villages.

Thinking of all the precious hours that I was going to waste if I took a bus, I decided to fish out a little bit of my hard-earned money over a flight ticket so that I could fly from Bagan to Inlay on a Mandalay Air. The flight was delayed due to heavy rain in Yangon – something that I had initially failed to apprehend the relevance of until it all came to me in a form of amusement. Continue reading →
