Damn. Saturday night already. This week has flown by and I've totally forgotten about blogging. I try to maintain some type of blog while I'm gone so

A) my family knows where I am
and
B) I can remember all of the details.

I'm failing on this trip for sure.

We had such a good time in Koh Chang. Tuesday we had Thai massage on the beach (Fabulous) and pretty much just hung around the pool and relaxed. On Wednesday we went to the other side of the island to meet the elephants. We were recommended to the Ban Kwan Chang camp because they do the most to keep the elephants safe and healthy. The camp is very basic and looked a little sketch, but overall, they did a great job. We started with a short hike down to the river and had a swim with two of the elephants. it was pretty wild, i have to say. never in my life did i ever expect to have an experience like that. after the swimming we trekked through the jungle for about an hour. Michael and I were on the lead elephant and it was really tense at times when the path was a straight up or down hill climb. I hope our girl got extra cookies that night, as she well earned them.

Afterwards we made the most of our last night in Koh Chang, had a super yum dinner, swam and then watched the thunderstorm over the bay. Thursday morning we flew to Cambodia to start the next leg of our trip.

more on cambodia later. Im still processing most of it and really, really need sleep.
