... discover some interesting people, who in turn know more interesting people. Just let life be my guide as been a great lesson to not always being in control. This has been the purpose of the trip; letting go of whats not important. As a planner it is always easy to be in charge to make certain all things run properly. <br><br>I have become friends with Anna, a sweet young lady from Australia who is also traveling solo. She will become my roommate for a ...

They are pretty excited to see us....my gal kinda wants me to pat her trunk I think....she seems to like it.....so who am I to say no....we get a big chunk of the dirt off...and we err eley loads up the chains and stuff and then I barely managed to crawl up into the place my ass really does not like...and we all meet ...

... raise my legs... to sit on the ears.....my legs are dead to me...cept the pain..that was quite alive. Finally we get out of the jungle...and the flies do lighten up a bit yay. So we keep sauntering....knocking down trees....you laugh....no really....and not sure but every time we see an eley doo doo on the trail (very big can't miss em)....my eley would stop and put her trunk on it and sniff like it was crack cocaine or something....the animal kingdom is really full of ...

... are in thailand....oh my buddah it gets hot ya no sun screen nothing not even a hat...pant pant.....ohhh and about now we really start walking into the wet damp elephant grass where the flies seem to live to feed them the eleys and the flies....so the idea now is let the eleys graze on whatever they feel like eating we do this for a while and then we walk into the jungle farther and our mahouts kinda go into gear and we separate....we head down a big ...

... V Bangkoku jih ni mogoce videti jih je pa zato zelo veliko ob obalah in na severu Tajske. Delujejo po principu, da pobirajo potnike povsod ob cestah, dovolj je le, da pomahas vozniku in je zato voznja z njimi, tudi na kratkih razdaljah zelo dolgotrajna.

... laid back atmosphere, no hassle from the sellers, good food stalls etc. The various wats along the way become like food courts with all sorts of food stalls set up there. We had some great food there, although in hindsight some of it must have been less than great as we were both a little ill in the next couple of days..... Long story short before we knew it it was almost midnight and we'd spent loads. We picked up some cool paintings, t-shirts and a few other things. The artists ...
