Elephant ride

I couldn't resist... in Tad Lo they're offering a trip through the surroundings on one of the elephants they have there. Not a big deal, one and a half hours, 5 dollars. We went through the forest, crossed the river twice, came through villages... it was some fun, definitely. Interesting how the animal managed to make its way along steep narrow paths or across the river with its stoney ground.
But all in all I just can say that I rode on an elephant. It was ok, but I wouldn't do it again... I'll keep on hiking to "explore" new paths... faster (yes!) and more demanding. I'll tell tou about later about the next hike which is already planned...
