Eco Report: The Wonderful Lands of Burma & Laos

Our visit to Burma and Laos was a great success. Pleasant memories of the trip remain fresh and vivid – the luxury and surprise of Afternoon Tea at the Strand Hotel; the joyful spirit of the people at the Shwedagon; the peacefulness, relaxation, and enthusiastic service of the Pandaw voyage; sunset and horse cart ride amidst the stupas of Pagan; and the incredible and unique Inle Lake. For many of us, Burma was especially delightful – thanks to our super guide Daniel. To others, the cruise down the Mekong in Laos was most memorable: hours and hours of lovely, uninterrupted greenery and forest – not to mention the wonderful teakwood bungalows at Luangsay Lodge. A highlight for me was the very moving ceremony of the Baci, graced upon us so gently and kindly by the warm village folks around Pakbeng.
