Hearty buffet breakfast and onward to Mandalay

Yangon - Park Royal has a very wide spread of Burmese breakfast.  This is a unique banana on one of the buffet platter.   Big and flat banana,

Saba Banana
Different kuek
We had lunch with Dr Kyaw @ The Golden Duck restaurant - the famous Chinese duck restaurant and then afterwards as a guest in his big house.  We waited till 4:30pm before we set off to the domestic airport bound for Mandalay.

Flight K7 
Air KBZ from Yangon to Mandalay and the flight K7 was a 2 seater per aisle turbo prop airplane.   As the weather is so hot, I was sweating on the plane and took the emergency plastic sheet and starting fanning myself.   The sweltering heat onboard the plane was unbearable even after take off.  Only after 30 mins into the flight the plane after to feel cool with the air-con now in full throttle.    Light snacks was served of sandwiches, butter cake, tea, water and a chocolate.

The flight time was just 1.5hrs...shortly after, the pilot announced that the plane is about to land soon.

Dr Kyaw drove about 2.5hrs from the airport to Pyin Oo Lwin by car which is our final destination.   The journey up the hill resort was dark and winding.   There were also many cargo trucks driving along the same direction with very careful manoeuvring in and out of traffic.
