Yangon - Dec 2

This morning we check out of the Manor Hotel and board the coach for Heho airport. It's cool and the long sleeve shirt feels good. Reaching the airport we went through the cursory security inspection and into the crowded waiting room. The fight ended up taking much longer than anticipated because it was not a direct flight. A stop was made at some location in Myanmar that Ko Ko said had the best beaches in the country. When we landed I could see we were near the shore. I was a bit nervous about the stop because I did not have a lot of confidence in their baggage handling system. But at least when we stopped I got confirmation on the Tiles app on my iPhone that my bag had made it that far, because the app recognized the luggage tile. Must have been when they open the cargo bay. Or maybe they had actually removed the bag temporarily. In any case, when we arrived at Yangon my bag showed up with everyone else's.

After a very quick check-in at the hotel, we got on the bus again and Ko Ko lead us through another food market. There was a huge difference in that this market was much more crowded than ones we had visited in the past. So much so that it was difficult to photograph because of the endless stream of humanity moving about. Still, there were some good pictures to be made.



After moving through this market, we came upon one in which they were selling prepared foods. Kind of an outdoor food court.









Ko Ko showed us some of the old British colonial buildings.








Finally, it was time to go eat but first a stop at the waterfront at sunset. 
Dinner was at the Monsoon. Our last supper and probably the best meal of the trip.
