After a rest at the hotel , an evening stroll on the Strand is an exercise in nostalgia . This is a 19th –century promenade along the waterfront , probably constructed during Mawlamyaing ‘s British period between the first and second Anglo – Burmese Wars .

Day 3 ( B, L, D )

sptour02-03

After breakfast at the hotel go visit Thanbyuzayat Cemetery . Most of those buried here lost their lives working as Japanese prisoners of war on the Burma Siam railway . the famous line that crosses the Bridge on the River Kwai in Thailand . The cemetery , immaculately kept by the Commonwealth War Graves Comission , is a garden filled with small crosses and grave markers with name , rank and age of the deceased, its beauty and calm rendering it the more poignant .Nearby is a small section of the original railway , with an engine and some rather menacing half broken life size statues of Japanese soldiers and two starving prisoners.Word has it that the railway is going to be reconstructed as a memorial to all those who worked on the 250 –miles track as well as those who died . Lunch at local restaurant . after lunch , visit the most notable being Uzena Pagoda with its figures of the Buddha in the different stages before attaining enlightenment , the cave of 10,000 Buddhas ( Kawgaun ) and the Hapayon Cave . Overnight at the hotel .

Day 4 ( B,L, D )

After breakfast at the hotel, first visit to Gaungsay Kyun (shampoo Island) by boat . It was water from this island that was used for the ceremonial hair –washing of the king during the Buddhist New Year celebrations . The island sits at the confluence of five rivers . On it there is a monastery surrounded by stupas and an enormous statue of the Buddha looking back across the water to Mawlamyine and the Kyaikthanlan Pagoda .As you approach the Gaung Se Kyun its thin , white stupas sparkle against the green trees and the island seems to hover just above the water , giving rise to the belief that it was suspended from the heavens by a silken thread and that its surrounding water was sacred. Then we will visit Bilu Kyun (Ogre Island ) in a private boat a 25 minute ride or there is a daily ferry – another excellent way to sample local life . There are some 64 villages on the island all with their small pagodas and little home industries to visit . The mode of transport around the island is a pony cart or fine old wooden buses . There are plenty of good tea shops where the visitor can sample a Mon dish or two before re-boarding the ferry back to the mainland , so a leisurely day trip.
