Elephants and Rafting!

Saturday contintued... Abseiling from out of a cave was amazing! Scary but amazing! By this time it was getting quite late and we still needed to get back to Ao Nang where we were staying. So we followed the guy along the beach just before sunset.

Sunday we were up early again, but this time we were picked up on time, which is a first since being here! We had a long jouney and after a couple of hrs arrived at an elephant place ( whatever you call them!) It was 2 people to an elephant, i got on with Charise, Amie got on with keirsten. We went on a small treck around the jungle then back to the van which took us just up the road to rafting. Once we arrived they started filming from the minute we got out the van, however the video turned out to be rubbish! We were given life jackets, helmets and a paddle. We were given a short saftey brief before we got into the boat, then we were ready to go. There must of been about 50 other boats on the river at the same time, which seemed quite dangerous at the time but we had soo much fun! Everyone was splashing each other and at one point we were all dragged out of the boat (once we had stopped) 'for a swim!' It was such a laugh because our life jackets were up around our heads and all you could see were bobbing heads. After a really nice lunch, we were taken to the waterfalls, which were really beautiful! I eventually plucked up the courage to jump into the falls from a huge rock! It was one of the scariest things i have ever done! Then we headed back to collect our bags ready to be taken back to Krabi town then home to sleep ready for school early the next morning :)
