Laos- Elephant Camp and the Countryside

This morning we went to an elephant camp where we rode on an elephant through beautiful scenery.This camp, a joint venture which benefits the people around it, the environment and the elephants, was the brainchild of German man named Marcus who start Tiger Trail Adventures. We then took a short boat ride to a lovely waterfall which was not as full as it can be during rainy season.
After that we changed our itinerary from kayaking and instead went three villages to see how the people nearby really live. We saw people at work, children at school and coming home for lunch break, women working at home, as well as people dancing at a community center in honor of a small festival. There was a live band and singers.

Pictures will follow when I get home.
