Sustainable living at it’s best. Houses on stilts surrounded by hydroponic islands—floating fields of tomatoes, water crest and plantations of lotus. The engine cuts as two lads commence paddling our longboat silently the rest of the way into the lagoon. A respectful reception to the Inle Princess Resort and our honeymoon cabin complete with outdoor/indoor shower and my fav, mosquito nets for two… why is it we have less than 12 hours to enjoy such bliss, who planned this? Foley, you let the ball drop on this one! I want a divorce.
Twelve hours and counting. Checked in and we’re back on the boat. Enjoying our time on the lake, fishing, pagodas, the lotus weaving factory and the vegetable canoe that paddles door-to-door. While there is always more time for sights we were eager to enjoy the amenities… Ahhhhhhh, the Spa at the Inle Princess. Why not?! As if the private honeymoon cabin wasn’t lush enough, we were escorted by candlelight to a private villa beside the crackling fire… how divine. Reflexology, followed by the “four hand” massage for Foley and the always enjoyable “hot stone massage” for moi.
Morning came too soon and Nyo was ready to lead our pampered selves through more of water-world’s exquisite temples—traveling up river and up rapids we make our way to firm ground where thousands of over-grown vines and trees become one with countless 13th century stupas. UNESCO, have you seen this place?
