The covered stairway leads to Taung Kalat Monastery, the famous monastery perched atop the volcanic plug at Mount Popa, about 50 km (31 miles) southeast of Bagan in central Myanmar.

For the tops of their umbrellas

Venders walking down the beach selling fruit

There was almost nobody on the beach or in our beach hotel

And a couple of fishing boats

The sun did have to set on our trip and we had to leave.

Making paper

We spent our last couple of days at Ngapali Beach

There were a few fishermen

We did have this wild octopus attack us on the beach

A wonderful vacation
