It’s pretty impressive just due to it’s sheer size, the huge cracks add a very dramatic element to it. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5ca01453a09a7e6e7ec94b6c/t/5d96b3ff4f2286040e8a3434/1570157675469/Umin+Thonze+Pagoda Pagodas in Mandalay - Umin Thonze Pagoda This is a stunning complex situated in Sagaing Mandalay. On the lower level there is a chamber with 45 unique Buddahs and as you climb higher there are stunning views across Mandalay and the golden stupas that dot the hillside. Again in later afternoon I had the complex to myself. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5ca01453a09a7e6e7ec94b6c/t/5d96b7d4a28ba82353e29e8e/1570158579883/Hsinbyume+Pagoda Pagodas in Mandalay - Hsinbyume Pagoda I visited the white pagoda in the early morning at around 7.30am and had the place to myself. This Pagoda is also really big and quite stunning. There are loads of places to climb and explore. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5ca01453a09a7e6e7ec94b6c/t/5d96b2548b71662f6e6c8ee3/1570157399234/Kaunghmudaw+Pagoda.JPG Pagodas in Mandalay - Kaunghmudaw Pagoda A really unique Pagoda and it’s huge, It took me about 20 minutes to walk the full circumference of it. I went late afternoon and it was pretty empty, just a few people there for worship. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5ca01453a09a7e6e7ec94b6c/t/5d96bc0aa28ba82353e2ec70/1570159682004/U+Bein+Bridge Pagodas in Mandalay - U Bein Bridge Okay so this is clearly not a Pagoda but definitely worth an early morning visit. I got there for sunrise and there were no other tourists but plenty of locals starting their day. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5ca01453a09a7e6e7ec94b6c/t/5d96bcf2c71e533e0e7e6610/1570159930810/The+View+from+Umin+Thonze+Pagoda Pagodas in Mandalay Looking out from Umin Thonze Pagoda https://www.travelbea.com/bali-spas daily 0.75 2019-12-03 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5ca01453a09a7e6e7ec94b6c/t/5de270d3e6b0e7013a805ecf/1575121132047/Ashari+Lash+Menujpg Bali Spa's Lash Menu for Ashari Bali - The best! https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5ca01453a09a7e6e7ec94b6c/t/5de2702ff26533387a2077ac/1575120998653/Therapy+Day+Spa.jpg Bali Spa's Therapy Day Spa Seminyak https://www.travelbea.com/bikes-in-bali daily 0.75 2020-08-03 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5ca01453a09a7e6e7ec94b6c/t/5f17909640341d30d8701363/1595379916038/Bike+Rental+Bali.jpeg Bike rental in Bali Exploring remote parts of Bali is a lot of fun by Bike. https://www.travelbea.com/elephant-tourism daily 0.75 2020-07-22 https://www.travelbea.com/flying daily 0.75 2020-09-11 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5ca01453a09a7e6e7ec94b6c/t/5f5aeb6449b3db799661600d/1599794459244/F3266D79-6074-4F48-ABD2-8024B333B49E.jpeg Flying Qatar Airways Hygiene Kit https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5ca01453a09a7e6e7ec94b6c/t/5f5b01e0a1a0c77e0585e9b7/1599800091420/Qatar+Airways.jpeg Flying Flying over the West Coast of Australia was pretty emotional for me https://www.travelbea.com/australian-quarantine daily 0.75 2020-09-11 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5ca01453a09a7e6e7ec94b6c/t/5f5b1b8f0ef3986a9d997bc5/1599806516134/Australian+Quarantine.jpeg Australian Quarantine Some of my quarantine essentials
