    Myanmar (Burma) by bike – practical info

    by Ewcyna 18 November 2014
    written by Ewcyna

    At the beginning small note: Information is based on only my experience and may, and even certainly is different from the experience of others.

    Time: February 2014 year, 28 days

    Route: I cycled the roads connecting the most popular tourist destinations in Burma that is: Yangon (by plane) - Pyay - Magway - Bagan - Meiktila - Kalaw - Inle lake -NayPyiTaw (capital) - Bago (train - due to lack of time and not very interesting route) - Kyaikto - Thaton - Hpa An - Kawkereik - Myawaddy / Mae Sot (border crossing with Thailand)

    MYANMAR (BURMA) 2014

    Show Myanmar on a larger map

    Entry: A good option is to fly to Bangkok (almost every airline has promotions, You can find a ticket for about 2000 PLN ). From there to Yangon or Mandaley we can fly among others. cheap but reliable lines AirAsia.

    Land border crossings: from the end of August 2013 there have been opened 4 land border corssings between Burma and Thailand: Mae Sai / Tachileik, A Sot / Myawaddy, Phunaron / Htee Kee oraz Ranong / Kawthoung. The first is a rather poor choice, because yes, You can cross the border, But then it is porbidden to go by land (only by plane).

    The roads to the other border crossings are in a terrible state. Morover, many roads are closed or may be closed at times. Consult once being on the spot and it is better not to risk entry, is prohibited. I heard about the case of the Belgian cylist, who finished in jail .

    Visa: in 2013 year, it was not possible to obtain a visa at the border, had to deal with it myself earlier. I applied for a visa at the nearest consulate of Poland, that is Berlin. I applied personally (since I was there anyway in Berlin, But it can also be sent by post), passport with visa was sent back to me in less than 2 weeks. I paid for a visa 20 USD, for shipping in addition 10.

    From what I know, in the second half 2014 was introduced e-visa for Burma.

    For those traveling in South-East Asia the best place to get visa is Bangkok. From 1 September 2014 there is possibility to apply for an e-visa. Details are located here. In this case, however, it is required to arrive by plane and cross the border at the airport (Yangon, Mandalay, Naypyitaw).

    WHEN TO GO: best in the dry season, though still not hot, ie between November and February. From March to May heat is hard to bear, from June to November is the rainy season, You can expect heavy rainfall.

    ROADS: Roads on the route I have taken, were paved, often quite poor quality though, ie. well mostly pathholed. The worst by far was the section from Kawkaereik to Myawaddy border - the road leads through a mountain range and it's hard to even call the road. Nightmare and pushing the bike being accomapnied by loeaded trucks is guaranteed. Due to the (lack of) quality the road it is opened alternately on even days in one way, odd in the others.

    SAFETY: Due to these police, which focused often on my person, I felt in this country extremely safe.

    MONEY AND PAYMENTS:
    Throughout the stay I paid only in local currency, ie. kyat - there was no need to pay dollars. Part of the amount mentioned I exchanged at the airport - conversion was the same as in the city ie. 980 kyat za dollars. It is best to exchange currency, ie. dollars (good, new banknotes). I double-fetched cash from an ATM - they are to be found in larger towns and although not all of this can be found such, that support foreign cards. But it was quite expensive "event" - cost me some 10% the taken amount, and that's a lot of.

    Prices: The food is cheap, although the choice is quite limited, but not hopeless. In the villages you can eat very cheaply - 1-2 dollars for a meal at local eatery (is always only one dish cooked that is. Burmese curry or pieces of meat in curry seasoned oil, rice, cooked vegetables and a sort of decoction of leaves). In the tourist areas it may be 5-6 USD (or more) and of course there is more choice.

    The most expensive is definitely accommodation (more about their logistics below). For foreigners there are separate and distinct hotels prices. I paid from 5 (single case, guesthouse for local) to 30 USD (twice , but I had to because it was the only guesthouse in town and the police was waiting for me to check in, until I check in). On average, 15 – 20 USD.

    Standard of room was mostly so-so, sometimes really good, sometimes terrible. Sometimes you could see, that the building is quite new, but in terms of cleaning better forget. Also I kindly asked several times for a change of bed linen and towels, that must have been used obviously. I know, this is Asia, but as I pay a lot of money, ie. 25-30 USD do not agree to such negligence.

    ACCOMMODATION:
    Well, Here begins the comedy, so it was at least in my case (but not just mine) case. Most of my adventures and memories are linked with accomodation issues.

    What's the matter?

    In Burma it is prohibited to pitch the tent and stay overnight in private homes in people - what's more, You can not ask them for this favour, because they may find themselves in trouble for it. A foreigner is obliged to stay in a hotel or guesthousie that is authorized to provide accomodation to foreigners, and these are mostly in the larger towns – often there is only one, no choice. Prices are as for this part of Asia high (ok. 15-25 USD)

    It's quite a big challenge for the bicycle traveler, especially if travelling on a budget. While I hit the road I realized, the day I can not get from the town, where there is authosrized guesthouse. Pretty soon I developed a system - in the evening, having reached any village I went to the police booth, I showed, I was travelling by bike, that is too late to go further and therefore I have to spend night just there . From now on, the responsibility laid on the police side, who ususally withing an hour gave me permission to stay in the guesthouse for Burmese only (5-7 USD).

    Three times I camped wild hiding in the bush or forest, , However, the police quickly figured it out and this is probably why I became an object of special interest. From morning to night I had to endure the company of the secret police, most commonly as civilians that rode a few yards in front of me or behind me often talking on the phone. People have changed during the day. Every time I chatted to the person asking whether he is following me and why, thanking for the "special care" and saying, I can handle by myself. Not much it helped, frequently came just another one. Often also in the morning he was waiting for me to accompany me in my journey.

    I stayed at private houses twice (once with the permission of the police, because they did not have a hotel nearby to send me to), once in a roadside restaurant where no one made any problem.

    The most interesting adventure I had prior to arriving to the capital Naypyitaw, when being in the company of two officers, at 20.00 PM and after having cycled 125 km in the last 45km in Egyptian darkness I refused to continue cycling to the nearest ie away 40 or 50 km guesthouse (what was the intention of my unwanted companions) and I wanted to spend the night at a gas station. I did not get permission to do so, but there came like 8 people to the station to solve my problem 6 other representatives of all kinds. Since I was not going to move on 23.00 A polce car came, that took me, bike and luggage to guesthouse in NayPyiTaw. Accommodation was at the expense of the police.

    Let me add, that at the same time two other male cyclist were in Burma – but did not have such adventures with police, therefore perhaps been more in the spotlight as a woman.

    INTERNET ACCESS: is not a simple, but possible and increasingly common. especially in tourist resorts, although the internet is slow. We will not get free wifi zones, but in many places to stay or restaurants we will have access to the network.

    OTHER: You have to make and carry many copies of your passport - photo page and page with visa. Happiness it really all officers and saves us time to wait, before they find copy machine and make copies for them.

    Route from Yangon - Pyay was nicely shaded, then began to desert-like landscape.

    In conclusion, I might add - regardless of all the inconvenience Burma is the highlight of my touring in Asia, I love this country and already think, whether to come back.

The winds will blow as they want my mother used to The winds will blow as they want my mother used to say - and in Sardinia the winds usually blow counter-clockwise.  When I reached Olbia on the east coast of Sardinia, I should have started cycling west. However, I was too keen to see the feast of Saint Efisio in Cagliari in the south of the island, so I decided to go there by train and disturbed this windy order. I got off the station before the city to find a quiet corner behind a bush for the night.  From there I went to Cagliari.
I saw the amazing fiesta and crawled out of town slowly.  Islands are islands, you can always count on wind blowing there.  And it blew right in my face.  I did 20km that afternoon and didn't enjoy it at all.
 I had an ambitious plan to conquer the interior and the east of the island, which is famous for its beauty, and it was.  Huge spaces, greenery, grazing cattle... we like it that way.  Extremely steep climbs and my bike loaded after the winter did their job - two days of struggling with them reduced my urges to push east, which is considered the most beautiful part of the island.  Willingly or not, after seeing the UNESCO site which are the ruins of the Bronze Age village in Barumini, the people of Sardinia called the Nuraghias, I climbed even higher and then went back to the sea to Oristano and packed the train back to Olbia.  Just to go with the wind along the coast. I wanted to see some of this emerald sea.  So I did, cycling the Costa Smeralda. The sun was shining beautifully, I didn't feel like taking a bath or staying in the sun. It's still too cold.  But the views alone are enough for me.
Nature are Number One in Sardinia.  The architecture was unobtrusive, not to say ugly.  Surprise. After seeing the gems of Tuscany and Puglia, this was a bit of a disappointment.  But, there are beautiful murals everywhere!

On my last, or penultimate, weekend in Tuscany thi On my last, or penultimate, weekend in Tuscany this spring, I was to wind my way through the roads of the Chianti hills. Yes, that's where the ones famous of wine-making (in the store ask for "kianti", not "cianti") and the place of the beginning of the l'Eroica bike race. I was there 10 years ago, and all in all, the hills around me are plentiful, but just to refresh my memory, stretch my calves and catch the first sun? I don't live too close, the cats had company over the weekend so I thought - well, how about a two-day trip? 
I didn't want to pack all the lodging equipment for one night, but two accommodation search engines had bad news, however - in an area of 150 km x 100 km for the night from Saturday to Sunday there was not a single vacant accommodation! Mount Amiata. On the second one the cheapest offers for more than 200 EUR.  The long Italian weekend has begun (April 25, Italy celebrates "Festa della Librazione" - Liberation Day). On top of that, the region is mega-touristy, and there is no camping apart from Siena. Let’s pack uwellell. 
Set off slowly like a tortoise ... past Asciano I entered, in the sense of pushed, on the famous white gravel roads, along which the route of the Eroica race leads and then even more slowlier!  I was occasionally passed by cyclists travelling light and on E-bikes, because that's the only way they cycle here. Envious. Eroica roads are for eagles or I need to revise my physical capabilities. I don't know what killed me more, the steepness of the roads or the number of motorcyclists on their roaring machines, but by the evening I decided that I've had and seen enough, I'm going back. And those dozen kilometers of return home in the dark - because nearly no vehicles anymore, listening to the sounds of the night, were perhaps as beautiful as the Tuscan and Sienese landscapes in spring.
And in a few days, a new cycling stage.

"Christmas with yours, Easter with whoever you want", "Christm "Christmas with yours, Easter with whoever you want", "Christmas with the family, Easter with whoever you want" - according to this saying, Easter in Italy is often spent away from home, with family or friends.  The beginning of the picnic season, one might say, the welcome of spring.  Children are given chocolate eggs.  Accommodation places are booked long before Christmas.  Although you can't generalize - in many homes everything from A to Z is cooked.
The Easter traditions hold strong in the south of the country, in Sicily and even in Puglia, but although I was hoping to participate, unfortunately I was not able to be there at that time again.  The processions that take place on Good Friday, are very solemn and gather hundreds of participants.  I really like to peek at local customs, but in Tuscany there is not much to see 🙃, unless watching hundreds of visitors would count as such.  It's interesting that when I searched (in three languages) for "Easter in Tuscany", I mainly see offers of accommodation and trips.  When I searched for "Easter in Puglia", the search engine shows mainly religious rites and local traditions.

This year spring is late, the trees are blooming, but the leaves are still on hold. Three days ago we had frost at night, it's supposed to rain during Easter. In fact, it's just about to start.  Yes, I've seen what's going on with the weather in Poland, I'm not complaining! 

So I jumped on my bike before this rain for a pre-Easter bike ride to Trequanda. I haven't been there yet this year.  This is another insanely picturesque road with a view of Monte Amiata and Crete Senesi.
 I enclose a handful of photos to whet your appetite for Tuscany and wish you a good Easter time.  Rest and live it as you like.

To do some shopping, I need to talk seriously and To do some shopping, I need to talk seriously and reach an agreement with myself - to go or not to go, where to?  From my Tuscan solitude, 30 km both ways may not impress, but 800 meters of climbing yes. On Saturdays one can choose between Buonconvento or Asciano, because both have vegetable markets and although they are no match for the Polish or Apulian ones, they are also twice as expensive as the latter as well, but at least they exist.  And since I eat vegetables like a rabbit and say no to plastic wrapping in supermarkets I had to go.  This time I didn't even need that much but since the weather was great, I decided that maybe I'll go to Asciano to see if the medieval walls haven't collapsed yet.  I report that they are standing still, the town on the ancient route of Via Laurentina is doing well and there were even quite a few tourists who exposed their faces to the sun over a cup of espresso or other prosecco.  The cycling season has also started, although mainly e-bikes and road bikes rule, there are plenty of cyclists, and in April and May it will be the apogee.  I mumbled in the bakery about the lack of good bread though, I've already told you that in Tuscany it is baked from white flour without salt and it's so bland.. One tiny reason to complain about this heaven. You can forget about Apulian brown loaves with a thick crust, so I bought two kilos of flour and I will bake by myself. 
 I could return taking the same or an alternative, more demanding route, a moment of hesitation, but I chose the latter.  It is even more beautiful in terms of views, it cuts through the heart of the Sienese clays and the traffic there is negligible.  Crowds come here for photography shooting and me just went shopping... 
Where did you go on your bike today?

Have you ever taken your bicycle on Flixbus buses? Have you ever taken your bicycle on Flixbus buses? Yes, that? Uncertain about it? I have, numerous times in Europe, luckily mostly it went smoothly. And one big failure..that finished well.

Dreaming of a bicycle trip around France or sunny Italy, experiencing the great cycling infrastructure in Germany, a trip to the Hungarian Lake Balaton or Poland? How to get there with a bike? If you don't like flying, trains fail or are too expensive, Flixbus could be an option, to reach the place with a bicycle. Sometimes it's simple, but beware – it's is not always the case.

It's time to plan our summer trips so here I come with my blog post on Flixbus and bicycles. Step by step guide with lots of photos, screenshots and links. 

Questions answered:
Can I transport a bike on Flixbus?  What does it look like?  How to search for connections?  Do I have to dismantle and pack my bike?  What problems may arise and how to avoid them. And what if we can't ..?

Any experience in this regard?  #flixbus

Sometimes you keep on trying.. and you fail. you Sometimes you keep on trying.. and you fail.  you know it, right?  No idea how it happened, but until now, despite numerous stays in Italy I have not seen the ancient city of Pompeii.
 But that's the past!  Last Sunday, making a stop on my way from the south of Italy to the north, I finally visited this extraordinary place.  Me and thousands of others 😁. There were crowds.  Maybe even bigger than usual.
 Sunday was a weather window between days of rain because it still rains a lot.  But not only.  It was also the first Sunday of the month, and on the first Sunday of the month in Italy it was declared "Sunday at the Museum", when admission to most museum monuments in the country is free, Pompeii too.  I was planning a stop on the road for this Sunday, so it was great! Already in the morning the queue was sky -high but made it smoothly in.
 I walked the stone streets of Pompeii with my jaw dropped.  I had no idea how huge this area is!  A regular port city, it used to lie on the seashore.  Beautiful villas, an amphitheater, a theater, speeches, temples, baths, even a brothel.  The love of art can be seen everywhere, frescoes, sculptures. The tragic volcano Vesuvius still reigns over the city.
 In terms of trials and intentions, however, there still be the Amalfi Coast - a mountainous promontory jutting into the waters of the Tyrrhenian Sea south of Naples, which is famous for its insane views.  Positano and Sorrento are the names of real cities on the Amalfi coast, not just pizzerias 😉. Well, I missed a few days and the weather. 
Next time

It's cold and windy outside - how about immersing It's cold and windy outside - how about immersing yourself in the landscape of Italian postcards?  Dolce vita viewed from your bicycle? 

In my new blog post let me take you to Tuscany for cycling in the Orcia river valley.  I've spent many months there and go back frequently in different seasons (yes, just in a week!). I got to know this region really well and fell in love with it just like everyone else.

Val D'Orcia makes the most of what Italian landscape is - medieval stone towns on the hills, picturesque roads lined with cypress trees, winding gorges, vineyards and olive groves and all this creates fantastic, almost fabulous landscapes. A UNESCO heritage and an AMAZING bike spot in one.

Hold on, because the views knock you off the couch 🙂 It is here, through the winding roads of Tuscany, that the routes of iconic bicycle routes lead - the vintage race L'Eroica, the high-performance Tuscany Trail and the ancient pilgrimage route from England to Rome - Via Francingena. You will cross the famous "strade bianche" - roads made of almost white gravel. One thing is for sure - you won't be the only one riding a bike. And not the only one to sweat - yes, it's all about the hills!

Today, as the sun finally set its foot over the It Today, as the sun finally set its foot over the Italian heel again and spring in the air- I cycled to some of the oldest groves in Puglia. The olive trees - some over a thousand years old, have their trunks wrapping around the gnarled base before splitting and walking away from their other parts. The olive oil has become substantial part of my diet and here it tastes great. 40% of Italian olive oil comes from Puglia!
