well we spent a whole day at the Kuala Gandah Elephant Sanctuary . It was a hot day, and 5 families went with us. Had our picnic at the site and at about 12 the show began. First we watched as they bathed the elephant
then it was feeding time. You get to go up close and feed the elephants all sorts of fruits.
and finally riding time. Here's the man preparing the elephant. If you notice, no carriage. You just sit on the elephant and hang on tight to the man, and feel the elephant's very prickly hair tickle your thighs! :)
They also brought out two REALLY cute, ADORABLE baby elephants, which the children, especially Jo REALLY loved. (they are orphans rescued from the forest.)
The water activities (elephant dunks you, and swimming with the elephants) were canceled due to strong currents. too bad, or I might have posted a picture of me being dunked. Next time. :)
Finally, if I've anything to say, it'd be STOP illegal logging, and safe the rainforest. I'm passionate about nature, and I feel sad when their (animals) homes are being destroyed. Why are we destroying God's beautiful creation?
The complete set of photos can be found at flickr where I post my pictures 
Hey Hearts

I agree with you about the rainforest, Hearts. I would very much like to have floors made of bamboo. Replenishes easily and very "green." Blessings to all, g
