Blog # 5 - Sunday Brunch and Samui Island - Thailand
Sunday was a sea day; ship had a huge brunch
Ice sculpture - lit up
Chocolate and other sweets
Pretty glass chandelier in dining room ceiling.
Too pretty to touch as well as eat
Guest trumpet player and band marched through the audience playing, "When the saints keep marching in..."
Local Thai shuttle boats will take us to the wharf - noisy, smelly
Main street - no underground telephone/internet cabling
Many shrines in the center of town and on highways
This is what the Thai language looks like
We will be visiting an elephant compound. This shrine leads up to the encampment
Elephant dung paper seems to be quite popular in this part of the world. Its made into stationery and other paper goods.
"Hi guys. How's it going?"
We get to prepare food for the elephants
Fruit and grain - mushed together into a ball makes for a great meal
Now that's a nose (or trunk)!
Asian elephants have one appendage that helps to grab food
Inhale, exhale, inhale, exhale
Lunch time
Bath time
Teenage boy was misbehaving - He had a "time out" and was sent to his room!
"Feed me," she says
How about a banana?
Yummy!
Her "perm" didn't go very well
A little too much mascara!
This is our third time visiting an elephant compound. Still fun!
Hey, guys. Can I get a pedicure?
