Way Back to Akyab

It was quite late when the ship reached to Rathedaung. It was around 2:30 pm reached and left Rathedaung around 3:00 pm. It was not in good mode to take photo because it was too crowded on the ship and we knew that we would be reaching Akyab very late.




Rathedaung Jetty was crowded as always and the ship also.



As of late evening, there were a few snack sellers on the jetty and ship also going to depart the jetty soon.




Good Bye Rathedaung. One song was flown through into my mind, that was "leaving on a jet plane" sung by John Denver.

~~ Cause I'm leavin' on a jet plane
Don't know when I'll be back again
Oh babe, I hate to go~~

But, I am not on a jet plane, I am just on a crowded ship, I also really do not know "I'll be back again" there.



The below one was the location of old jetty. Jetty was there in past few decades and moved to the present location since 3-4 years ago.

The telecom tower on the bank of opposite Rathedaung.

One of the local pilgrimage tour boats passing by, it supposed to go to Footprint of Buddha at Mozee island.
