It was. Interesting country. Both history from the past but also the present. When they converted to Buddhism, the have stayed as a Buddhist country since then. It was not so dificult to travel around. We booked flights and hotels ourselves. Only the trip to Inle Lake we booked through an agent because the hotel was on the lake and we needed at boat to take us around. Also in Bagan I prebooked the hot air balloon flight. But going around, renting bicycles etc. was quite easy :)
