4)The Elephant Ride
Here I am at the half way stage of my adventure. Time is beginning to gather speed, and today I booked a train ticket to get back to Bangkok for my return flight to Melbourne on December 21st. Melissa, the other Aussie, is travelling with me. I'm happy about that as it is an overnight train, although I was quite prepared to "go it alone"just for the experience. The journey takes 15 hours!!!
My second weekend was lovely.My room mate Dale and I travelled on public transport to Krabi, a two hour coach drive north of Trang. From there we caught the local bus to Ao Nang and found our Hotel. We struck lucky. For a very moderate price we had a hotel that looked out onto the sea. The room was lovely, and the beds were the most comfortable either of us had slept in since leaving home. We had two really good nights sleep. On the Saturday we took a day trip to see the Island where the James Bond Movie "The Man With the Golden Gun" was filmed. I've never seen the movie, but I will now, just to see if I recognise the view made famous in the movie. We went canoeing through mangroves, had lunch on a floating Village, went swimming under a waterfall, and finally did our elephant trek. That was the highlight for me. I think Dale was a bit worried we were going to tipple over. Then we fed the elephant bananas, and I know why they say "giving comforts to an elephant." He ate about 5kgs of banana, skin and all, in about 2 minutes. It was a great day, a great weekend.
