On Sunday, I took breakfast reasonably early because I was going ashore for a while before the ship cast off at 10:00 a.m. to cruise back upstream to Mandalay. I can do no better than quote the Minutes of the Bagan Cycling Club:-
"The Second Occasional Meeting of the Bagan Cycling Club took place on Sunday, 30th August 2009. The Founder Members from the Inaugural Meeting (our two young Burmese cycling enthusiasts and Honorary Secretary Jan Ford) were present and were delighted to welcome a New Member - Mister Bruno. The objective was to cycle across part of the Bagan Plain using minor roads and stopping to examine some of the smaller temples. Splendid machines had been provided and an excellent Tour was undertaken, cut short only by the need to return to the 'Road to Mandalay' before Sailing Time. All the participants agreed that they had enjoyed the event and looked forward to the next Meeting. Jan Ford, Honorary Secretary."
Pictures of the event are here. Safely back on board the 'Road to Mandalay', the rest of the day was largely 'at leisure' as we retraced our route northwards.
