(^68) We crawled into Myawaddy long past midday. As foreseen, clearing
immigration took longer than usual as I left the country with a
different passport. However, once everything was sorted, I was
immensely relieved to cycle off to Mae Sot, Thailand.
So ended a problem-studded ride in Myanmar. It would be six months
before I returned and could cycle to India. It was also the only time I
managed to cross into India at the Tamu border, a notoriously
problematic border that requires a permit. My priority was to get to
the South African Embassy in Bangkok to apply for a new passport,
as I believed the process would take a few months.
