Buon Me Thuot, Vietnam, 15 April 2008

We left the home stay for a one hour walk through the village and countryside to meet our bus. Incredibly interesting watching the locals going about their morning tasks, drying rice and other farming activities, but unfortunately the sun was a killer and I was struggling even with this walk. By the end of it I was feeling very ill and it soon became obvious I had a small case of heat stroke.

I was a bit of a mess for the morning and it took me all afternoon to feel better. Did manage one thing today, went for an elephant ride through a lake. The elephants go all the way up to their eyes which I imagine is a nice swim for them. Two of the girls had a short elephant which meant they got a little wet when it got into the deepest part of the lake :)
