Picnicking With the Elephants - my photo album

Last Saturday I went with a bunch of friends to see some elephants and to eat great food and to drink wine and beer.

We did lots of all of the above and here are my photos to share the love...

Mum, Dad and the kids out for a stroll

Turning tricks.

It's not quite what she thought she'd be doing when she left the village but at least it pays.

Here's a little video of them bathing....

Having your tusks cleaned must feel good

The picnic

The gang

Strangers in the stream (so cute I couldn't resist)

A junior mahout

Bounyang playing cute

The workers' huts

(there's a lot of road and house construction going on at this otherwise "forest" resort)
