Elephants


We hired a driver one day to take us 13 km east to Taro. The Elephant Safari Park is there, and we wanted to see, feed, pat and ride some elephants. Every drive is an adventure in Bali. The lanes are merely suggestions, and traffic rules are pretty ad hoc. we drove through villages and rice fields, pausing every now and then for a photo on our way there. 

Lots of koi in shady pools at the park. 


Elephants!! Feeding them.....



And the elephant ride....

Ella and my elephant was named "Pati". She is 25 years old and has a baby elephant daughter. She is originally from Sumatra, and her trainer came across from SUmatra with her 10 years ago. 


Jack and Scott on board.


Documenting the experience.
