Elephants

This mornings excursion was to Lake Lak, about 1 hr in the bus from Buon Ma Thuot, to a elephant riding place. A few of us decided not to ride the elephants, seems a bit cruel but others seem to enjoy it. The walk took them out across the lake, where the elephants were cool, but others baked in the sun.

On the way back, we stopped at a coffee plantation, but the berries are just starting to emerge, so not much to look at.

Tank and Monument at roundabout, just outside hotel.

More textiles (Joy, anything you liking??)

Tomorrow it is a 200 km all day ride to Pleiku, although not sure why we  are going there as apparently not much there to see.
