The ride back to the main road junction, me windblown in the little bouncing vehicle, seemed to last even longer than the one arriving in the taxi. But the nice driver dragged my bag over the rough ground of the yard and onto the station platform for me. The ticket office was not open yet and I was told to wait until ten. At ten I was told, half an hour more. It was eleven before I was allowed to buy a ticket. Previously I had wondered why tickets were not sold before the train actually arrived. Now I know

Now and then we passed people walking along the roadsides, even though it was almost four o’clock in the morning. I had noticed that people were always out and about at all hours of the night. I suppose this explains the ludicrous train and bus times. From the turn off on the main road, another long road led to Nyaungshwe. Arriving there and asking directions, the driver got me to Teakwood Guesthouse where I had bloged a room Despite the hour, a woman soon opened the gate.

Afer four hours we arrived at Kalaw’s pretty little railway station that looks like a Swiss chalet.

It took fifteen hours to reach Thazi, and we arrived three and a half hours late. We wouldn’t have been so late if it had not been for the interminable stops the train made every few miles. The train ride had developed into a vegetable market. At each of the frequent stops a different vegetable specialty was on offer as well

Nyaungshwe is situated at the end of Inle Lake, connected to it by a canal, and is the commercial hub for the villages dotted around the lake’s edge. I ate at an outdoor cafe but moved as soon as I could to escape the increasingly persistent and ardent attention of the local mosquitoes. In the street I stopped to talk to a Belgian family with two small blond children. Their mother said that the children were fussed over wherever they went and everyone wanted to touch the smallest one, a little boy, which naturally he hated. In a tiny bar
