Day 15: Sat 14 Nov - Home James – Yangon to Singapore to Sydney

Awoke to the news of the cowardly terrorists attacks in Paris, awful!! Paris is my favourite city in the whole world and it is so sad to watch them suffer once again. Makes one think about travel over to Europe, which I love doing. Can't let these b..... beat us though. 

Had brekky with Ken, Bob and Kerry. Due to our common love of travel Paris was the topic of conversation. Baz and Trio had already left for the airport earlier. I was the last to check out at 8:30am. Total cost for the 3 nights, deluxe double room including breakfast was AS$255. The staff were very friendly, respectful and efficient and the room was clean and comfy. 

I allowed an hour to the airport in a cab and was glad as roadworks saw us sitting stationary for 10 minutes at one stage. Checked in and through Customs quickly into a small, pleasant Yangon Airport.  The security seemed a bit 'casual'.  As Qantas doesn't fly out of Yangon I had to fly Jetstar (Airbus A320) which I'd prefer not to do normally. But once on board I discovered I was sitting in an exit row with loads of leg room. Because I was traveling on a Qantas ticket I was asked my meal preference upon boarding, others had to buy anything they wanted. The flight left at midday (15 minutes late) and took just over 2.5 hours. First stop Singapore. 


A couple of pleasant hours in the re-vamped Qantas Club, Singapore passed quickly. It was then onto a bigger A330 for the overnight Sydney leg.  Had two seats which is always nice and got some sleep.

Day 14: Fri 13 Nov - Last Day in Yangon

Image
On our last day in Yangon; Bob, Kerry and I hit the streets on foot. Due mainly to its colonial past Yangon is an interesting place architecturally, especially around the city centre. Sadly a lot of the old buildings are being knocked down to make way for concrete and glass monsters. I suspect that one day they'll regret having destroyed a lot of the character of the place, however we've all done it regardless of what colonial country you're from.   Some of the nice buildings remaining are; The High Court, Town Hall, Customs House, The Strand Hotel, Railway Station, to name a few.   One thing we did discover is that the shops are not geared up for western tourists yet, unless you're into jade or amber jewellery. None of the normal T-shirts, caps, bags etc, well none which would fit most of us westerners anyway.   Had a nice coconut and custard cake with a cup of tea; A$0.89, can't complain about that.   Dinner this night was at a restaurant just up the road from the...

Day 16: Sun 15 Nov - Sydney to Hervey Bay to Hippo Farm

Image
Our plane was the first to land in Sydney after the curfew ended at 6am and thanks to that I had my bag and was at the Domestic Transfer Desk by 6:24am. Then the waiting truly began, till 1:45pm when I boarded a Boeing 717-200 (smallest of the jets) for the final leg to Hervey Bay.  As we approached The Bay so did a big storm resulting in the Captain deciding to circle over a very bumpy ocean; for over an hour!! I had two very irritable kids near me so that was fun!! Just so I will appreciate getting home even more, maybe.  We eventually landed safely, which is the best way to land and was picked up by my very patient and worried Darling Wendy.  Good to be home.   Not good visibility coming into Hervey Bay Aeroplane circle-work Lining up for a second attempt at landing Finally - on the ground after just over one hour of circle-work

Day 5: Wed 4 Nov - Kanchanaburi to Dawei, Burma (Myanmar)

Image
Day 2: Kanchanburi - Dawei (85km) Breakfast at the hotel. We cycle to see the death railways and follow the River Kwai Noi and head to Phu Nam Ron border. We cross the border to Myanmar and continue cycling to complete 80km. Then we transfer to Dawei. Dinner and overnight in Dawei.   85km cycle, fine and hot, 28-35deg Up very early for a wander around the resort and to take some photos.   Then had an amazing brekky in what was a very swish hotel.   Pity we weren't staying longer, but we have kms to get under our wheels, this is not a sit around the pool tour.  Rode away from the hotel at 8:15am onto a smooth (hot mix) wide verge. The roads here (Thailand) have improved dramatically over the last 10 years, so much so that they are now streets ahead of us, pun intended.  In addition, the motorists were much more courteous and every vehicle gave us a wide berth or waited behind us until it was safe to overtake. Similar to Europe really.   72km and a f...
