glad the walk went well ,we had a great couple of days touring the island ,went to elephant orphanage where we saw them at the river, got some good photos. Spent a night in a converted Tea Factory you will never drink Tetleys again !! Did the river safari today (Monday) saw lots of wildlife including a couple of baby crocs (wouldn't make the handbag for your granny but maybe a purse !)and a turtle hatchery which was really interesting. Lots of the areas we visited were badly affected by the tsunami and are only now really getting back to normal. Will give you a call when I get home at weekend. Lots of love the second intrepid Munro traveller AKA Dad and ang
