My jungle journey
We are up bright and early, and are picked up by Nop, our tour guide for the 2 day jungle trek. We jump in the open backed vehicle waiting outside and head off to pick up the rest of our group from various hotels and hostels and make our way out of the city and into the lush green countryside. Our first main stop of the day is for an elephant ride, we pull over and just at the side of the road there is an elephant chained up, grazing on bamboo leaves. We all observe, as ...
I Do Hope We Get A Small Elephant....

Heading back to the hotel to get changed and ready to catch the sleeper train back to ...

We start our next trip in Australia, mid winter, so I think we will freeze (except for me with my internal heating going on!) The lowest temperature we have had to deal with in the last 2 years was in Beijing (14 degrees) and I am sorry to say we were such wimps about it. It ...
