Elephant trek

now this was cool. it was included as a part of the tour. it was short, maybe 30 minutes, but it was cool to tromp through the forrest and into the river and back into the forrest, and into the river again. good thing there was a seat belt, or we'd have definitely fallen into the river with all the big elephant poo.
