After yesterday's bicycle adventure - today, a bit more relaxed with a horse cart
Here is yesterday's route (Bike) and today's (Horse Cart)
Early morning - leaving Bagan in a horse cart (with a very bad suspension)
Passing a group of morning monks
Crossing the street
In most Southeast Asia countries - two wheel transport is the norm and a fun thing to capture is the way families use their motorcycle / bicycle to move family and goods.
An old temple - mostly from the 11th - 12th century AD
A large monastery on the edge of Bagan
My horse cart - I ride in the back with my legs drooping over the horse feed bucket
Shwe Zigon Zedi - Golden dome
Another view
Inside the pagoda complex
Golden Stupa
Sort of like mountain peaks
Pigeons everywhere
Golden Pagoda
More towers and many more pigeons
Small alters
A group listening to the monk
From behind
Golden Stupa
My horse cart. These brick structures are quite interesting when compared with the stone structures of Angkor Wat in neighboring Cambodia
My team for the day - note the feed bucket at the back - resting in an old motorcycle tire
A long hall to the monastery
Looking down the hall
Below are many instances of brick stupas and pagodas
