83 year old Anne on an elephant. She has been an amazing spiritual adventurer on this trip and has kept up with the group in all the inner and outer adventures.

Our team is ready to ride off into the forest on elephants.

Katherine and Mandy.

Anne feeds one of the elephants a squash. It requires briefly putting your hand in the elephants’s mouth.

Now it’s Peter’s turn.

After the long ride our elephant is hot and sweaty and has requested a bath.

After scrubbing her down she returns the favour. Mandy is first to get sprayed down.

Peter holding on to her tusk.
