Elephant Riding and more!!

the last two days have been amazing! we woke early yesterday morning, and got a van into the jungle! we stopped for lunch in a little village, and then headed deep into the jungle. we had a little walk and swam under a waterfall we then carried on walking to this tribe village, which wasnt that remote as they had motorbikes nd solar panels. but it was very kl.

also on our trek wer a canadian couple (clare and dave) who wer really cool, and two french ladies and a lady from an island in the carribean which we had never heard of!

we had some nice tea, and played some cards with our new friends. we then sat round the camp fire and played the yukalayley (sp), bongo drum, and sang some funny songs from differnent countries (frer er jacker) haha.

we slept in this wooden hut under mosquito net and we must have got a few hours sleep, the frogs wer very load and our team leader (singa) showed us a very big spider!

in the morning we had some very different scrambled egg and toast for brekie. we then walked a bit more into the jungle, and then drove to the elephant camp! this was amazing, we fed them, bannanas and then went on the ride down the side of the river and back, and then on a raftdown the river. this was really fun! on the way back to our guest house we stopped off at a tribe with some crazy tribe lady, she was a batty. will tried to buy her, but she didnt want to leave. haha

we then got back to the guest house, and are now in an american restruant and i had a nice burger after a lot of thai food. and ther is free internet here!

so ... a few days rest now and also 2moro we are going to hold a baby tiger!

  2. Sounds awesome :D I'm not surprised the batty old woman didn't want to leave, even an insane person knows not to go anywhere with Will :P Lucky you with free internet, I am on a frustratingly slow computer.
