Amarapura travel guide

Last minute decision to go out on a long boat and sit and watch the sunset. What a treat it turned out to be! #ontheroad

Sunrise on U Bein Bridge. If you get off the night bus from Inle Lake you can get a tuk tuk to the bridge and watch the sun go up as the monks walk to and from on their daily activity.

Boats chartered to take photographers out to snap pics of the U Bain bridge at sunset. (A similar photo is on the Lonely Planet Myanmar guide.) In dry season, an exposed sandbar allows foot access to a vantage point just as good as those sought by the boats. #GoldenHour
