Travel Review: Solo Trip to Myanmar, Mandalay, Inle Lake, Wildlife & Birding, Local Craftsmanship Tours

Outside of the safaris that I have done(as they are entirely different), this was the best trip I have ever done. This was my 28th country.  The trip was put together to enable me to do things that I really appreciate.  I said that I really love hand-made things so I visited: silk weaving, lotus weaving, silver jewelry making, paper umbrella making, wood working, a lacquer workshop,...  It was wonderful.  When I had been overwhelmed by all of the pagodas I was taken to in, my guide cut back on the temples & we went birding on the lake instead.  I asked to put Inle Lake at the end of the trip for relaxation & it was reorganized accordingly.  The trip was well done with kind & knowledgeable English speaking guides & drivers.  Just a great time.
