The river


First sight across the river from Mandalay was the biggest concentration of pagodas we had seen, shining gold in the morning sun but we soon passed into rural countryside, reading and relaxing as we passed the fertile sandy banks of The Irrawaddy passing the occasional passenger ferry and many barges laden with timber, this being the main artery of trade from China to the Andaman Sea.
