Day 32 (Tues, Mar 15) - Golden Rock: Visiting the Paya

What an adventure. The Golden Rock is attractive, but the real excitement was in getting there and back. The trucks which run pilgrims back and forth to the hill upon which Golden Rock sits rival a roller coaster for thrills and comfort. We left Kinpun by truck about 6.40am, and got back just in time to catch our 2pm bus back to Yangon.

What happened after the photos run out is that we caught a bus back to Yangon (Nicolas got off in Bago), arriving around 7pm. I vomited once on that bus, once on the public bus back into Yangon, and a third time when I got to Yamo Hotel (room 404 this time). And then I woke up and vomited again during the night.
