Elephant Park Day Two

Posted in Bali/Australia  by chad on November 10th, 2015

When booking our time at the elephant park, we chose the adjacent hotel primarily because it provided guest access before the regular park hours (like they do at Disney). That allows us to sign up to wash the elephants, and to ride them into their bathing pool.

As they dunk themselves under the water, it’s important to keep a close eye out for random coconuts lurking just below the surface. Seriously, those ARE coconuts, right?

From the pool it’s back to the room for a fully clothed shower. Shortly thereafter, our elephants show up at the door to take us on a ride through the jungle.

With just a few hours left before heading back out on the road, we round up all the fruit we can find and head over to the pen with the baby elephant (2 years old, so not really a baby anymore).
