I checked out the Panorama Hotel and then went to the airport.
Since I was planning to come back the same hotel on the following day,
I left big luggage at the hotel and carried only extra clothes and bathing
suit.
I surprised hotel staff because I was planning to stay only one night in
Ngapali Beach.
However, I never intended to go to Bago or Kyaiktiyo in scorching hot day.
I had free time until departure, I went for a beer at air-conditioned cafe
in Traders Hotel Yangon.
The beer cost me US$10, it was extremely high due to luxury hotel.
Therefore the taxi also cost me US$10 to the airport from there; it was
double price in the town.
I was taken to the hotel from the airport by free transfer service.
Lin Thar Oo Guest House is in front of the beach, but there were few visitors like private beaches.
For a certain time I spent to swim and go cycling.
After sunset I tried to eat king prawn Tempura and hot barracuda at Paradise
Sea Food Restaurant.
These foods were nice more than expected, but they were too much for me.
After lunch I just only went to bed.
Apart from Yangon, electric power condition have been poor in Myanmar,
I was obliged to lead a healthy life.

The classiest room in the hotel (US$40 per night with A/C and fridge) |
At 7:00 a.m. on the following day, generators stopped.
I drew back the curtain and my room was gotten the morning sun.
I had a breakfast at the restaurant, and then went cycling around the beach.
When I swam the unpeopled beach en route from the hotel, my foot was injured.
I received a deep wound and had gotten bleeding.
I found some shop on my way home, and I talked about my injury with gestures;
then they gave me antiseptic solution and plasters.
Hotel staff was also worried about me.
Many Burmese are very kindly even if they cannot understand my talking.
I have experienced such situations on this trip.
So I would like to come to this country as occasion offers.
