Bathing with Elephants

As i mentioned briefly before, we got the chance to bathe with the local elephants who come down to the river for their morning bath every day at around 11am and we can join them if we choose... Why not we thought! Was such good fun and just completely mad we'd start just a little wobbly as we prepare for him to give us a shower....

Then it got to the point where he wanted to have some fun - 'lets dunk these tourists' he thought... Every 2 mins he'd be getting up lying down, splashing around, and just generally 'having a blast'!!! We couldn't even stay on if we tried, our guy would heave us back onto the elephant's back and then we'd be falling straight back off into the water...! Something like being on the back of a 'bucking bronko' i reckon! hee hee! Was hillarious and such fun! Here's a true action shot below!
