Temples we didn't have to climb













This temple was surrounded by a locked wire fence. Not a soul in sight, but when we showed up, the gate keeper appeared to let us in.












Shwezigon Paya is in Nyaung U and is a 'working' temple where local people go. Lots of gold and nothing that has to be climbed!


































This young girl watched our bikes for 200 kyat (about .20 cents) . She wanted, like many others, a Canada pin. Of which we had none! Ok, then a pen would do. Nope. Finally gave her my empty water bottle, for which she can get a few kyat.
