Myanmar 15 - 23 October

October 15 Monywa
Our Myanmar tour group. 9 bikes and 10 people. One government guide, one Myanmar guide, one Burma Sense guide from Vietnam, and two drivers.
 Four bridges were destroyed in recent monsoon downpour. One was repaired. Two crossings were transported via motorboat.


One crossing was via loading onto a raft. Initially two bikes per raft but  it was too unstable.

                                                It was then changed to one bike per raft.

The last crossing was done in the dark, and involved riding through a creek crossing! So it was an unexpected adventurous day.

                                                We visited Monywa Town  the next day
