Elephants (part 4)
Ok here are the last photos I am going to post from Sri Lanka. The same day we were in Kandy we stopped on the way at two different places where they keep elephants. The first was called The Mellenium Elephant Foundation (I think) where they had a few working elephants and we were able to ride one!
Then we headed to the Pinnewala Elephant Orphanage, which is quite a fanous elephant refuge. They had about 60 eephants, some which are now breeding (we saw an elephant that was 4 weeks old!).
We were so close to these elephants as they walked down to bathe, not more than 1 or 2 meters. They started to run and the guys we were with pulled us back into the reataurant!
These are working elephants that live with the herd, they collect branches etc to feed the others.
That's it for Sri Lanka, I have more pics so if you are interested I will show you some time.
