Elebobs!!!

we went elephant treking today!! was amazing, we even got to properly sit on them. our guide decided within the first 5 mins to get off and walk, which lefy lucy and i alone on the massive elephant (slightly disconcerting)!! but he took loads of piccys for us which we really appreciated - he even got a tip which is a rarity for us! the weather wasn't too hot because we were in a jungle (yes a jungle) so there was plenty of shade. it was quite scary when going up and down hill as elephants are not the most agile of creatures and we got attacked by a low hanging vine but we survived!

afterwards when we were waiting for our lift back to the hotel we got into a conversation with a thai man about british politics! was very random - he was very knowledgable but had difficulty pronouncing cameron and clegg, he thought gordon brown was too old!!

we made friends with 2 couples in the jeep with us. one couple were from melbourne and were shocked to hear we were going to sydney and not melbourne and the other from israel! goodtimes!

our tans are coming along nicely - we belong in a venus advert!!
