Hallstatt: Mini Guide
The minute we saw pictures of Hallstatt, this little town made its way to our bucketlist. Needless to say, our trip to Austria just had to include Hallstatt! The town is so pretty that the Chinese have recreated the place in China... and a lot of Chinese come to Hallstatt to see the 'real deal'!
Lake Inle: Mini Guide
Lake Inle wasn't part of my initial itinerary; I assumed it to be an overrated tourist trap and gave it a miss. I ultimately added it to the itinerary as the most travel person I know (he has been to over 100 countries!) insisted that I visit this locale...and I am glad that I did! In turn, I insist that you add Lake Inle to you Myanmar itinerary...blue skies, floating villages, fishermen and smiling locals await you!
Bagan: Mini Guide
Pagodas, temples and stupas...over 2000 of them, which were built between the 9th and the 13th century, still adorn the plains of Bagan. There are so many of them that you can have a little one for yourself for hours, regardless of the recent tourist influx that Myanmar is witnessing. If Bagan is not on your travel map, it is time you put it up there...and then, get there before the rest of the world does!
