Let's continue an Asian trip. The goal for next day was Pinnawella Elephant Orphanage- the place where the famous elephant's baths take place. Our day started very early. We had wake up call at 5 o'clock and breakfest at 6 am. We were travelling in a group so we always arrived everywhere by bus. Another day was also very hot and the high humidity. I was feeling like in the middle of summer! (And it was february- unbelievable!) The orphanage was established to fish, nurse and house young elephants founds abandoned by their mothers. There is the largest herd of captive elephants in the world. It was amazing to see wild elephants washing in the river or simply touch them. Another astonishing thing that we could see, was a shop with paper calendars, notebooks and other stuff made from the elephant's poo. And trust me, it doesn't smell so bad as you might think!
After Pinnawella, we went on Safari. That day was fully packed with wild animals, especially elephants. We were riding on jeep without roof around the park. We saw elephant families but also colorful birds and another animals. I can really recommend you it, for me it was amazing experience.
Stay tuned!
