An afternoon in Bago... Shwe Maw Daw Pagoda






The bus from Kyaiktiyo arrived in Bago around noon. I was catching the next overnight bus North to  Nyaungshwe and Inle Lake. It was a 14 hour sleeper bus, leaving about 8 PM. I had the whole day to see the sights of Bago, which was the first capital of Myanmar, and therefore contains many of the "oldest" and most historical monuments in the country. I started the day off here, at the Shwe Maw Daw pagoda, it's claim to fame being that it is the oldest pagoda in the country.
