A gentle smooth ride feeling the super strength below.
You are probably curious about the mount and dismount.
After the ride, the elephants put on a show. The show was an hour and outstanding, but space and time allows only a few highlights. The first is the number of people in attendance.
If I hadn't witnessed this, I would not have believed it. An elephant that can paint a self portrait?
This was fun. We were watching the elephants relaxing and refreshing in the river when the mahouts, elephant handlers, played a trick on us. No one got wet.
After the elephants and raft ride on the river, we went to the hills to visit some of the locals. I saw a documentary about the Long Neck People and never imagined I would meet them face to face, but here they are; a beautiful young girl from whom I bought a gift...
and a woman weaving. Notice the belt around her to keep the yarn taught.
I am always on the lookout for the unusual. When I first started watching this child playing at the water hydrant, I sensed something was going to happen...it did. I laughed when I filmed this and have every time I have watched it since.
Most evenings ended with dinner and fellowship. One of the benefits of a group tour is getting to know people from all over the world who share a common passion for Rotary.
