Bus travel around Myanmar is just starting to respond to the tourist influx. Reports I had read about the bus route from Bagan to Inle Lake were discouraging, but after asking at our hotel in Bagan and confirming that it was air conditioned, we opted for the 9 hour bumpy bus ride over winding roads through the mountains. Seeing the some of the (very wet) country side and the mountains up close was an added bonus.
During our lunch break, some serious downpours broke out. The restaurant where we stopped harvests the rainwater and uses as much of it as it can.
We arrived in Inle Lake just in time for some afternoon downpours and a power outage, but both were quickly resolved.
