We were already leaving Nyaung Shwe as there wasn't much to do apart from restaurants, bars, stray dogs and rushing motorbikes. Inle Lake was the main event after all.
We boarded a VIP bus to Yangon, the largest city in Myanmar and economic and cultural capital. The bus was extremely comfortable which make the long journey more bearable!
