Hpa An, a beautiful place

The town of Hpa-An isn’t much to speak of but the surrounding countryside is a Buddhist wonderland.  There are many ancient temples dotted around either tucked into large caves or attached to karst pinnacles or at the top of a mountain.

I hired a motorbike with a driver for the day.  It was cool to be with him as he whisked me around to all the temples in time to catch the last bus to Mawlamyine.  Here I stayed in the smallest room I have ever slept in.
