Myanmar stole a piece of our hearts the moment we stepped off the plane and landed into the crazy, wonderful and inspirational country. Our Myanmar adventure took us from Yangon in the south, to Lake Inle and Bagan in the tourist triangle and finally to the last royal capital of Burma, Mandalay. Here’s a collection of our favourite photos from the trip: from the food to the famous sights to the lesser known gems and the many amazing local people we encountered along our way.
