Trekin'

This is Stu in one of his happiest places on Earth. Hiking through the jungle... rain or shine. We were on our way to a water fall (have no idea what it was called). It was part of a one day package to do a bit of jungle seein'.






This is what it looks like to feed a muddy elephant a banana when you're sitting on her back :)




Our elephants went on a trek around an agricultural stretch. These are some of the many rice patties found in the area. They look amazing, but I'm sure the novelty wears off after doing just a little bit of the very demanding work they require.


This is the part of the day package that they failed to tell us about until we were standing at it. Wonder what the cage was used for before shipping tourists across the river???


An early lesson in our lives is that ANYTHING can taste great after hiking around in the rain all day! But we were very happy to find out it was Pad Thai waiting for us in the banana leaves at the pit stop :)
We are hoping to get a few more days like this one in before leaving Asia.
