Inle lake: Mountain & Boats

Our sweet (but very noisy) accommodation by the canal - caused by the small boats with there very loud engines...

The happiest and prettiest puppy we've met during our travels: Rayban and her brother

Beautiful mountain bike ride around the mountains and wine tasting at the red winery

Our boat driver was 19 years old but he took us to some nice spots in the Inle lake

Amazing Shan food - some dishes were quite similar to Yunnan dishes in China.

The most quiet market we have been with a lovely flair and super big avocados.

Inle Lake - probably the closest spot to China (350 km away) we´ve hit on our worldtrip.
