The following morning we went for an elephant ride. The company came to pick us up at the hotel and drove us to the farm. We climbed on a high platform to get on the elephant. As soon as the elephant approached us I gave it some trail mix. The elephant would then bug us for more for the remaining time we stayed there.
Two people got on each elephant on a special bench, while the drove sat on their necks. We went to walk around the rubber tree plantation. Elephants walk really slowly! Or maybe just these ones did! It is amazing though how they can walk in narrow and steep paths.
After a while the driver got off and let us "drive". It was pretty trilling!
Once we got off we got the feed the elephants cucumbers. It turns out that one elephant really likes ice cream and I got to feed it, directly in its mouth!! (I guess that the ice cream is too cold to be grabbed by the trunk.) The elephant even spit out the stick when it was done!! Hilarious!
Finally we got to see some elephants (mom and daughter) bathing. They seemed to enjoy it a great deal.
