Bagan

After expecting a big city filled with tourists and their big cameras, we were thrilled with the dotted villages that separated the small towns of old and new Bagan. Our hotel sat in between the two towns and had panoramic views from the swimming pool of the expanse of thousands of temples and pagodas that filled the Bagan area. With temples piled on top of each other, it is impossible to look anywhere without having an eye-full of some sort of amazing intricate architecture inspired by one culture or another that kings dating back centuries had loved and brought over. The whole experience was awe inspiring and other than the scorching heat I would love to have stayed as long as i possibly could!
