I love riding elephants, especially when you get to see rhinosin the national park whilst on them. Again tis cold here in the morns, but warms up pleasantly, plus you have no real fear of mosquitoes. On the way here we passed several small villages all of them so destitute, but so friendly. You really do not have to have much to be happy which I will hopefully recall whenever I start to think otherwise. tomorrow we head off to varanasi. the holiest of holy cities in India I believe. I wait in anticipation...
