THE ELEPHANT NATURE PARK

A couple of days ago we went to the elephant nature park. As soon as we arrived there we would do the feeding of the elephants with our guide Tong. Tong was an okay guide he couldn't speak that great English, and he didn't exactly tell us much about the elephants or any of the park in general. After all the feeding was fun, you stick the piece of food near the elephants trunk and then the elephant takes the piece of food and scoops it up into its mouth. 

At about 3:30pm we switched guides so we got this super cool and nice guide named Apple, just like the fruit. Then we fed the grandma elephant. We had to make special rice and banana balls for her because she lost her teeth at about 65 years old. After that we had some dinner from a buffet with a great selection. That night I had a pretty good sleep myself and I woke up to the sounds of the elephants. The next day we experienced some great interactions with the elephants. I can't wait to come back to volunteer for a year there!
