Elephant days

Of course the adult elephants were just as fascinating and beautiful as the bubbas and we spent a lot of time on the little viewing platform just outside our room watching them interact.















We'd also get to wash the elephants in the river twice a day











After which they gave themselves a jolly good scratch on some handy driftwood on the beach









Plus we hand fed fruit to the grey wrinkly fellas (man they got some service, I was trying to make fake ears and a trunk to get washed and fed bananas all day)



Even some monks got into the act



Some people (no names mentioned... Helen!) decided that perhaps they needed the food more than the elephants...
