KAREL ZIJLSTRA AND SON SIMON, NETHERLANDS, MANDALAY PAGAN PACKET, MAR 2017
I challenge parents to take their adult children on a Pandaw journey - a real educational treat!
I joined my 23-year old son Simon in Yangon who had been backpacking through Asia for six months and at the end of this we travelled together for two and a half weeks.
We went on the Pagan-Mandalay journey and we had an unforgettable time thanks to Pandaw! What a beautiful country Myanmar is, with its lovely, friendly people, the 'wealth' of its culture and the Buddhist philosophy. So photogenic.
The RV Kalaw Pandaw crew were amazing; very, very attentively caring and of course the amazing food on board: unforgettable! Thank you Kalaw crew!! Head of Food and Beverage Stuart Hickman told us that Simon was the youngest Pandaw guest this season.
I have to say Simon enjoyed Myanmar intensely. I challenge parents to take their adult children on a Pandaw journey - a real educational treat!
Our guide Yan was so good, he explained so much about his culture.
After our Myanmar adventure, I had an exhibition with my sculptures in Dubai and the last five days of our journey we stayed in Dubai…the contrast couldn’t be bigger...
I hope to return to this wonderful country, and of course with Pandaw!
