- Elephant Sanctuary, Luang Prabang, Laos
(The mama elephant here, Mamoun, was the star at this Luang Prabang Elephant Sanctuary. Having been saved from young from logging camps, she gave us a gentle ride around this large sanctuary, with 13 elephants, including an albino 'white elephant', belonging to the royal family - the only one of its kind in Laos. But it was when we took Mamoun to the Mekong River for her bath that we really saw how much she enjoyed the cool river water. My attempt to swim with her had me drinking some of the river water after the river bank suddenly dropped deeper than my height! But what a lovely morning giving this gentle giant her bath - priceless!)
