Our hostel - Hinterland village resort - was simply idyllic and we had it all to ourselves. This meant we had the run of the pool and the resort and the only people we had to share it with was the staff, some bird and 2 Emu's....who can complain really.
Since we were 3 girls with nothing to do, we decided to spend our days playing in the pool, eating our way through the hotel and finally making use of our kindles and after the stress of north India this is exactly what we needed.
The owners son Ajay, was our saviour taking us on the occasional day trip (including a backwater cruise) a western meal and to see elephants. As I'm sure many of you know, meeting an elephant was one of my dreams and I was so excited to finally make it happen.
Attempt one to meet them failed as I was too ill (not impressed) but the next day I finally made it. The elephant park was not quite what I expect, the elephants were kept in small enclosure and were tied up, that said bath time was awesome. We wondered down to the river, and the party began. The adult elephants clearly knew the drill so obediently lay down in the water for his scrub, unfortunately baby was not having any of this. He decided it would be more fun to dive under water and hide from his cleaner - which may have been annoying for them but very amusing for us.
After this excitement was over, it was back to the hotel for our final day of chillin' before we braved the city again and had our first hiccup - my trip to hospital.....
