Web EXTRA: Trip to Thailand, Burma and Bali

Joyce Black of Willow Cove in Portage Bay shares some pictures taken on a trip she and husband, Dave took to Bali, Thailand and Burma last year.

We had a great time and traced the steps I took over 20 years ago. We spent six weeks travelling through three countries.

We had a great but challenging trip down the Irawady River in Burma with about 300 Burmese packed in like sardines.

 

River Trip

It took about 23 hours to go 90 miles as we kept getting stuck on sandbars.

We also went to Inlay Lake in Burma and had a chance to visit many wonderful places including an opportunity to meet Op Oh people.

We went to a Monastery in Mandalay where we saw this beautiful little girl.

 

Little girl

The sandalwood on the child's face is to show her beauty as well as protect her from the sun.

We finished up with a great kick back in Bali.
