29th March 19 - Pakkoku
Moored on steep riverbank and took Tuk Tuk to
local market. Then on to blanket and cheroot factories.
In the afternoon we sailed up the Irrawaddy and moored by a sandbank where the
crew setup a BBQ. Started with kite-flying.
Then live entertainment and sing-a-longs.
Great fun!
