A trip on the Ayeyarwady River to Tune Thiri village
The Ayeyarwadi River (formerly Irrawaddy river) is a long north to south river through much of Miramar that is a very important commercial thoroughfare. The river is the Road to Mandalay in the Kipling poem.
We took an afternoon trip on the Ayeyarwady River to Tune Thiri Island where there was a small village and some small farms abd caught the sunset at the end of the day.

Come you back to Mandalay,
Where the old Flotilla lay:
Can't you 'ear their paddles chunkin' from Rangoon to Mandalay?
On the road to Mandalay,
Where the flyin'-fishes play,
An' the dawn comes up like thunder outer China 'crost the Bay!
