Our 'Big Day Out'
 This morning Al
went up the mast to put the new lazy jack rope on. Then it was an early
lunch and up to the Marian Office for one fifteen for our three quarters of an
hour transfer to a Safari Adventure.
 Our first experience – a ride on an oxen and cart.
   A very comfortable
ride past a ‘one careful owner’ and by a house in the river with water buffalo cooling
below.
   We then all sat on
a friendly water buffalo and pretended he was a motorbike.
   A Thai cookery
lesson.
 Walking past a
water feature to a truck that took us to a river.
   Note to self: never kayak with
someone with a camera in their hand unless you want
to go around in circles quite a lot........ but we did see several kingfishers and some monkeys in the
mangroves.
 Back in the truck and to base where
things were slack.
  We saw how rubber
was processed and followed our guide past a water
feature.
   Thai Boxing
and Al was put through his paces.
   A monkey
show I could personally have done without. Johnny on his trike was
amusing though.
 The highlight of the day was of course
the elephant ride, seen here cooling
off.
 Next, a baby
elephant show, this one throwing a dart at
balloons..........
 .......but it did give us a splendid
picture with Alex and a cuddly baby.
 The best laugh was last. The boys
plunging their feet in with very, very busy
fish.
   The fish had a
ball exploring Bear’s fur and tickling my
feet.
  After the initial shock, giggling and
tickling, the boys settled to watching in
fascination.
  Then we shared supper with a couple from the Philippines, back to the marina tired but thrilled.
ALL IN ALL A PACKED, BUSY AND
FANTASTIC DAY
LOTS OF UNIQUE
EXPERIENCES |
