Slept in but got to call Mom before wifi went out (again).

(The king's Palace(now Museum) across from our hotel)
Nyaung Shwe is a town that borders the north edge of the lake and is surrounded by mountains.

The idea that we have any wifi connection in itself is remarkable.
Directly across the street from our Hotel is the Palace grounds of the ruling family of this region. We took a self guided tour ($3) and glad about it.
Other than that a mellow day of wandering.
Had Shan noodle soup at Linnhtet (my favorite soup place in town) and an amazing tea leaf salad.
After a stop at Zodiac's to procure our night bus tix to Yangon on the 26th we found a color printer to print our Cambodian visas (we bought them on line) on sticky paper so we could stick them into our passport books. The cost for 2 copies each, $ .40 total and not a bad deal.
We booked a massage at 420 pm on the way back to pay for our bus tickets at Zodiac's. We tried numerous times to set the appointment for 430 but they kept forcing us to 420, seriously;). We accepted after we noticed we weren't gonna change her mind.
I think we will order a duck for Christmas dinner tomorrow night. Let's see how that goes.
There are a number of places along the street where it looks possible.
Today all & all just a pleasant relaxing experience. It's nice to kick back and relax a bit and Nyaung Shwe (or Shwenyaung as the locals call it) is the chillest place we've been yet.

5:30 pm- Just came out of an hour long massage at the Butterfly Cafe/Massage studio. Cool Cuz & me in a thatched hut, on the floor, side by side on blankets. I know that's a little far apart compared to our sleeping arraingments of yet but hey, we just needed a little space!
This was my first massage since I got to Myranmar and a nice full body with oil, priceless! And it cost 8,000 kyat (8 bucks)!
Butterfly's' a super nice place and as usual, the people are always smiles and kindness.
It's dark now and I'm feeling tired and relaxed. A glass of Lassi on the way home and another early to bed night!
