Hello,

On the Saturday the 28th, Paul and I had the pleasure of undertaking an elephant tour. We had our own private tour guide and driver. We were first taken to an orchid and butterfly farm, it was beautiful! I have never seen such giant butterflies. After spending some time there we journeyed onto the elephant camp.

The elephant camp was amazing! We bought some bananas to hand feed the elephants. It was very special to be so close to the animals. We then watched the elephant show, they played soccer, played harmonicas, popped balloons with darts and painted art work, then they did a giant somersault. Ok, that last one was made up, but they were pretty spectacular. The highlight of the day was going on a half hour elephant ride through the mountain. It is hard to describe how great this really was.

Wow hand feeding an elephant!

The elephants also painted a picture with the guidance of their carers.
