Kalaw is a little town and that’s about it. The main
attraction is the trekking. You can hike around Kalaw or to Inle Lake which is
our plan! We’re doing a two day, one night trek to Inlet Lake tomorrow. I’m
very excited!
See you in Inle Lake!
While we were in Kalaw, we figured we’d check out the town
and explore the cave. The guesthouse receptionist told us the cave was just a
cave so we didn’t have to worry about showing our shoulders or knees. Suzie and
I roll up with knees out and shoulders for all to see when, in fact, the cave
is a pagoda. So, we asked the nearby store if she had anything to cover us, but
she had nothing. We started our sad walk back to the hotel until we saw a
fabric store a few minutes later. Here goes nothing, we’ll give it a shot! With
some hand gestures, a few English words, and many laughs we finally got our
story across and walked out with skirts made of large pieces of fabric and a shawl.
Boy did they laugh hard at us! We got to see the cave shrines for Buddha which
was cool solely because it was defiantly unique, but still nothing to write
home about.
See you in Inle Lake!
