'Simba! Stampede in the gorge"
... in front telling him her what to do all by voice commands (just like walking a dog). She was so beautiful and well behaved and we got to wash her afterwards, and by wash they we had to give a proper scrub, went on for ages. We then got given a shower by her and fed her some fruit - big slimey tongues - I love elephants! Have finally made it today, and we have just got back from a bamboo rafting tour round a nature reserve, we were so bored for the first 4ish hours, had not seen ...
