A day full of elephants!

Our tour started today! Pick up at the hotel with our driver, Kuru and we are on our way! Our first meeting with an elephant was by chance, on the roadside a truck was transporting an elephant who had been sick! Wonderful sight to watch him pull palms fronds down on the trees around him!


We even get to pose in front of our new friend!


Elephant park and elephant orphanage, first viewing was at the river as they bathed and frolicked in the water and then they parade through the township and over the other side of the road to graze the day away!


Such a wonderful view of these incredible creatures!


A great surprise running into our friends Maree and Reese from Melbourne! They are doing a different tour but with the same company! Looking forward to seeing them again on the road somewhere!
Feeding the baby elephant was a highlight even though it took only seconds to gulp down his bottle!



We are now at our hotel about to go in for dinner! Will blog again soon!!
