Met this playful little one today, the more Elephants I encounter, the more I'm amazed by them!

So this is an elephant in front of (and I'm not kidding) Elephant Rock. What are the bloody chances?! So happy with this shot, it all lined up perfectly!!!

Yala is a cute park but man, crowded in December. We were out on a jeep at 5.30 and when we got to the park 30 mins later we were behind maybe 40 other jeeps.

Worth it for this guy, but there are quieter parks to explore on the island it turns out.

Okay, we've made it further south, from Ella to Yala National Park via a rickety cab ride, then got dropped on a dirt road and waited for a Safari guy to find us and pick us up. We're now here... at a mud hut... so, we actually paid a lot of money for this stay (it was meant to be our one little splash out of cash on the trip) for a posh safari glamp site. We've instead been brought to this, a mud hut without electricity, amenities or anything nearby, literally IN the Jungle. The only reason we aren't kicking up a fuss, is because so bloody cool!! The locals have clear cut a small area for farming, and our huts are in that clearing. The Jungle tree line is right in front of us, and we can hear wild elephants at night!!
More to follow on our Jungle experience...

Ella has been an incredible place to spend time at. The hiking has been so good, and it's really let us feel like we've escaped the hectic stress of city life!

Beautiful view this morning from our accommodation. Not everyday you get to see this. What an inspiring way to start the day!
