The lifeline of Myanmar, the mighty Ayeyarwady river sweeps through the entire country, and besides being a major supplier of water, it is also used for transportation.
We docked several times, which gave the opportunity to have a glimpse of some of the river villages while foodvendors stormed the boat. Otherwise, it was great spending time on the top deck, where most people were - also because the lower decks were absolutely packed with all kinds of cargo, which is not surprising in Myanmar where all means of transportation are loaded far beyond their maximum. The next morning we had some delay because an old monk on the boat had died, and had to be left behind on the shores of the Ayeyarwady, before we continued sailing to Mandalay, with a good but hazy view of Mingun. After a most enjoyable boatride we arrived at Mandalay after almost two days.
