Saturday 26 February

We had been having fairly traditional breakfasts, but the Hotel offered various regional specialties, and so Harry decided to take one.  Not a good idea.  There were several kinds of rice, including mashed potato with rice, and other unidentified items that didn’t have a great taste.  Once more trishaws down to the boats, and Hti met us with a few Myanmar deep-fried snacks.  Better than our breakfast.

We took the boat through the floating gardens, and then to the Jumping Cat monastery.  Although we saw the jumping cats, it seemed a strange reason to visit a monastery, which wasn’t too interesting on its own.  
Still. training cats must e p there with herding cats, so full marks for patience!

Next stop the silver workshop, where they tried very hard to sell me a ‘twisting fish’ pendant, but I resisted.
