| Back to our hotel where Muumi and Kiki have been riding elephants all day |
|
|
| Today we have an organised tour, starting with a butterfly farm ... |
|
|
|
| ... and orchidea farm |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| After that, calm ride on an almost sinking bamboo raft :) |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Here comes the most interesting part ! |
|
|
|
| Netta wanted to bring this one home, hiding it in a pocket or a backbag ... |
|
|
|
|
|
| Elephants know their job well ; they can even do it eyes closed ! |
|
|
| This one is the one we rode on. It was the tallest one in the camp ! |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| This was the most relaxing part ... a couple of hours at the falls |
|
|
| (enough time to meditate :p ) |
|
|
| Netta really appreciated the natural jacuzzi |
|
|
|
|
| Now we'll be using a more traditionnal mean of locomotion ... |
|
|
|
| ... till we reach the "Long Neck" tribe village |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| This one belongs to the "Long Ear" tribe. Check it out ! |
|
|
|
|
|
| Everywhere in Asia we're amazed how wrongly western words can be spelled. |
|
|
| We found another very nice temple close to our hotel: Wat Loykhroa |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| We got a very good deal with this hotel: cheap with free internet and swimming pool ! |
