T.E.C.C - most amazing elephanty day ever
... slows down/slowly Sok - elephant walks backwards After a long day of being with the elephants and partaking in the 'shows' we helped take the elephants into the forest where they are kept for the night. A great dinner was put on for the bot of us, but the mossies were out in force that night and being so shattered we consumed as quick as possible and headed off back to our shack being the only visitors at that time. What, a, long, ...
Elephant kisses!!
... all these elephants with their mahouts (trainers) came walking up to us. They were on their way to go bathe. I felt like I was in Jurassic Park.

Day 360: lost

Arrived at a ...

... the day, at about 3.30, we rode the elephants up into the forest where they spend the night. They are chained to trees with long chains so that they can move about in the night, but don't wander too far. Then in the morning, at 6.30, we went to meet them. They were always covered with mud or dirt, which they put on to protect themselves from parasites, and always very happy to see us. Or at least the sugar cane we carried up there.
We stayed ...
