Day 4 - Elephant Sanctuary
Today we woke up in Chiang Mai and travelled to the elephant sanctuary by mini-vans. once we arrived we fed the elephants and then had an amazing lunch - yellow noodles =) YUM...
We then went down to the river to bath the elephants in the poo water. After washing them we returned to our huts. We (ellie and ella) went down and got fabulous massages from the ladies who also taught us some local slang and braided our hair. For the day we had a humorous guide named jack. He, along with the sancutary crew of volunteers made us feel very welcome with their light hearted and generous natures. to welcome the arrival of new volunteers the local preist man held a ceromony to bless them, this was followed by dinner. Later we were again welcomed by the volunteers to particpate in the "getting to know you" activities, in which their fun personalities beamed through. Overall it was an amazing day, from the experience of both animals and people a like.
