A Perfect Day in Bagan

We started with a 5:00 a.m. wake-up call to arrive in time to walk up a smaller pagoda to watch the sunrise, as 19 hot-air balloons filled the sky.  They eventually passed right overhead.  We then headed back to the hotel for a leisurely breakfast and this time headed out on bikes to tour Bagan.  We wandered around brick pagodas and taught our local guide how to ride a bike.  Next to a veggie curry lunch at an open-air restaurant followed by an afternoon at the hotel pool.  Ended the day with another bike ride at sunset through a number of pagodas, a small shopping excursion and a brick oven pizza dinner with friends.  (We are slightly noodled-out.)  In bed by 9:30 pm - Just perfect!  :)
