Because I am staying down low level today I have to accept it will be more smoky where I will be riding

The 4014 is a well surfaced twisty road

The new bridge and to my amazement for the first time ever I am asked if I want to walk across and look around Myanmar, usually its a big no no and the old bridge has to be used to get in

Everyone wants to be in the water today, it is rather hot here
75831
Even the dogs have just got out of the water
