5th September 2013 - Mandalay’s long teak footbridge at Amarapura
We are greeted by champagne or juice by our boat crew for a 5 o’clock boat trip on the Taungthaman lake, which is crossed by the remarkable 1.2km long teak footbridge
We’re ready for this after all the sightseeing!
Same style as the Venetian Gondolas
The lake is so shallow, people are standing up fishing in it!
Pancakes and chapattis, inexpensive snack food!
These shacks along the road are used as temporary homes by families who need to get away from the flooded river during the rainy season |
