Excellent one day trip from out ship berthed on the wrong side of the river to Bago. Traffic awful took 2.5 hours to do some 90km, but much of interest to we on the way. Excellent guide and driver. Only problem was we had been led to expect a car so getting a much less comfortable mini van was a shame. Great flexibility, they covered the full itinerary I had sent. Good restaurant too for lunch. Trip a full 11 hours, many amazing memories.
