The track. Just the downward right to left bit. The Garmin isn’t separating days all of a sudden, lol.
Now we’re headed backwards
The track to date, Nice map, can see all the places next door in Thailand we travelled through, so close
Riding out of Mandalay is a peaceful thing
And the ride’s representative video
We’ve entered the central dry plain
But the rich soil and agricultural rewards never stop. The land of plenty
My first herd of goats observed here. Brown, behind the cows
Stop to watch kids fish

Man, patience and objectiveness, the Burmese are so chill.
Oasis along the way
Cotton fields everywhere
Stop for lunch
I spent quite a while here. The lady in the blue top grows tobacco, is supplied with labels by a cig company, and rolls (below) 800 a day for about $30. She can roll one in a few seconds, never seen anything like it
Rolling station
A nice riding tunnel to the destination

The cigarette rolling looks far more civilized and humane than the cigar factories in Cuba. Assuming they are for local consumption only and not for export?
Hi Alison. Yes, local market only. I had one and it was smooth and mild.
