Today, we went elephant trekking through the jungle

Hello all, just a quick one

We've just finished a rather unique experience........

Annie the elephant took us on her back, for an afternoon's stroll around the jungle. Neither of us had ever been on an elephant before, so we were quite keen to have a go. We had no idea what a scary experience this would be....to start with at least. You have no idea how high up it feels to be on an elephant (the fact that you have to climb on a ten foot tower to board the elephant should have given it away I guess!) We were a tad worried about the weight distribution and the seat falling off (picture Jackie sitting next to Chris on a seat held on by some loose ropes!) Add some very steep terrain through close jungle and you probably get the idea.

All the elephants seem to be treated very well; apparently they can lug tons of timber around so our weight was nothing to them. The guides sing to them the whole way round, as they say the elephants like this - not to be outdone, Jax gave Annie a little rendition of nellie the elephant too!

Hope you enjoy the pics, speak to you all soon,
C & J :-)
