ELEPHANT RIDING

Yes, that means that we rode elephants, or just one elephant!!! It was so exciting.

We took it to the river and it threw us off its back on several occasions and dumped water all over us. Rather amusing!!

"Embrace the Journey"

Bridget also did the unthinkable

We are now living the island life, and finding it hard to get off. About 3/4 days ago we landed on Koh Tao, Thailand (I would show pictures, but I have yet to bust out the camera) after 32 hours - 3 buses, 2 trucks and 1 boat, plus a few hours in the we hours of the morning at the Bangkok bus station - in order to get here. We made the decision to get out of the north where we were riding elephants, soaking in hot springs (nice reminder of home) and hanging out with the locals in the artsy town of Pai. We realized that our time is coming close to an end (only a week and a day left) and we wanted to get to an island or two before we are to make our ways home (or back to Germany in my case). So here we are, soaking up the rain on the beach, and about to become certified in Scuba Diving with Padi diving for up to 20 meters!!
