If any single one of us were to say at this point in time that he or she was not tired, you'd better not believe it.
Because I think the only person that was more tired was Melvin himself (and Ko Ko Aye too).
What a full day it was.
For the past three days, it was early rise at 4am, set off at 5am or before that, and late sleep at later than 10pm.
Crazy one lah, this SgTrekker trek.
But, hey that is exactly what Photography trips are about, right?
Otherwise we all might as well go hop on a Casino Cruise and while the nights and days away.
So we simply allowed our doggedly-tired bodies to be driven to whichever spot Melvin chose for our dinner.

... which happened to be this sleepy restaurant called Queen House Bagan.
Why did I say it was a 'sleepy' restaurant?
Haha... because it was literally woken up by our arrival! As our coach drove onto its front porch, the workers scrambled to
turn on the lights, and hastily assembled their front guards to welcome us.
The fault was entirely ours actually, for we must have been so stealth in our entry, not to mention that we must have been early in our arrival.

Strange as it seemed, but didn't every single dinner restaurant (almost) had a pair of such guards at the front door?
Funny... it must have been some kind of Burmese practice.
Whatever it was, our good Scotsman ColinS wasted no time again in doing his famous act with his trusty 24mm.
I must give it to that guy. His courage is unbelievable. Man, I won't dare do that with two spear-wielding Burmese soldiers...

Anyway, just to prove a point that we arrived at our table with the last light still visible, here is a hastily taken record shot.
Also just to show everyone of us how tired we were, and how dark the restaurant ground was when we first arrived.
They eventually (and in step-wise fashion some more) turned on the rest of the lights, and finally some decorative lights on the trees,
to our total delight.
This humble travelogue has brought us to dinner time on Day 3.
I think we can give the travelogue scribbler a little bit of respite while the other members continue to post their works.
Ok, Ladies and Gentlemen. Again, the floor is yours.
Give us all the great shots. And no excuse. Why? Because it's Sunday today. Hahaha...
Looking forward to more from everyone.
