Kalaw Hill Station And Inle Lake
Posted On Saturday, February 3, 2007 at at 5:14 PM by AlvinWe spent 2 nights at the hill station town of Kalaw where we went for a day's hike into the surrounding countryside - the temperature was freezing as the town is located at fairly high altitude. We could not wait to move on to Inle Lake which was just an hour by bus and amazingly, it was so warm that we pulled on our t-shirts again. The Inle Lake was very picturesque as we took a boat out for the day and visited the many different islands. The abandoned Indein temples and stupas were eerie as we felt a certain mystique about the site.
We shared our boat with Arnie from Holland and he amused us with his stories of bribing officials around the world with his bottles of whiskys - he worked for Johnny Walker, you see, and he always stashed away a few bottles as "backup". Funny guy.
