Day 11

Another rest day :)
Did not turn out to be quite as restful as we thought, sorted out the inside of Molly after 10 days rubbish had accumulated on my side of the car.
Had a Thai massage and stupidly said to the girl that she was not pushing hard enough.
We then had a sunset elephant ride, which was fantastic going up the hill. I then got talked into sitting on the elephants neck and steering it down what had now become the North face of the Iger.
I don't like horse riding, so what possessed my to agree to a 45 minute down hill ride on top of a 100' tall elephant will always be a mystery. Just to add a bit of spice to it, most of the journey was in the dark. Julie's encouragement ' your doing really well'  ' just hang on'  (to what?) and 'don't worry if you fall off he has been trained not to stand on you' were not a great comfort.

This is a truly a great trip, well organised and with a great team to get us through all this excitement and drama.
The sign on the land rover says it all.


No more elephant riding for me.
The next day is not so clever.
