Started the day by meeting the guys for breakfast then to had to the travel agent place to get our 9am tuk tuk to the elephants, Thirty minute ride to the boat and tugs had to be the sketchiest boat we'd all seen was falling apart! All hopped in and balanced in the middle ten minutes we got there no trouble but then we looked back after getting off the driver was bailing out water from the back.
After that boat we came face to face with these elephants so much bigger in person first time we'd seen them up this close, Had to wait around for twenty minutes or so for the group before us to finish. Checking out this baby elephant 15m away chained to a small post in the ground, Didn't take it long to pull it out and walk over to us could tell it wanted our attention, Started petting it and a couple of pictures the other group came back and started feeding them.
Our turn to ride theses amazing animals hopped on them and off we went, Started taking pictures and our driver said picture picture he grabbed the camera jumped down and snapped us riding this elephant, Continued on this place was so piece full rode them for forty five minutes went into the water fall with them and we jumped back off.
We'd had food to feed them when we booked the day all got a bunch if bananas and started feeding them.
Time to go bathing with the elephants now we'd be getting wet me Phil jumped on one elephant and miko and olly jumped on another, This was so much fun at one point Phil got completely submerged and my head was half out this was such an amazing experience if no one has done this Do It!
Pablo went in by himself and fell off straight away so funny he'd said himself that thus was the best thing he's done while out in Asia, All headed up to the waterfall where we could swim jumped straight in was nice and cold cooled you down swam around then we saw a rope swing! And all started played around on that for half hour.
Got dry and started walking into the forest for a good forty minutes got pretty far in we all said we should head back as we had to walk all the way back we came, Walked back and went for another swim we were sweating our t*** off. Grabbed a spot of lunch which was £2 then walked back to the boat couldn't find our guide looked around for him nowhere to be seen asked some other drivers where he was they said he's gone kayaking.... Great so we just said to the driver take us back and hope the best, Back into the sketchy boat going up stream this time I sat just in front of the engine I could see the driver when I looked around he was bailing water the whole way back. Came to find our driver sat in the shop next to where we parked, We never lost faith for a second... Got back into town said we'd all meet back later at Utopia, got showered and relaxed at the guest house for a break.
Met back up with the guys at Utopia later on in the evening grabbed a few beers then we nabbed some food and jumped in a tuk tuk to go bowling, We got there a little to early as we were the only guys there played one game and asked if we could have the lane for another game for cheaper got a flat out No, So we just left and started walking back home this was in the middle of nowhere so walked for ten minutes and first tuk tuk we saw flagged that bad boy down and got back into town.
