So we started out our day taking an elephant tour. They said it was $30/hr/elephant, but then we get there and it's per person. We should have said we wanted seperate elephants then and watched them say fine and give us just one elephant for 30$ instead of 60, but Kyle didn't think of it till after. So instead we just did 1/2 hour which was fine. It was pretty fun, so some good views of the city and even went in the water where the elephant's head was underwater and he had to breath with his trunk. Then we say a litte show where the elephant did some tricks, played music, and painted. Then the elephant pointed to the tip jar, but we just laughed and left.
Then off to a winery about 40km away on our scooter. We ended up missing the turn, but once we realized it, it was OK because there was a waterfall out that direction that we wanted to see. However after going a long ways and seeing signs stating "danger wild elephants" we were running out of gas and eventually turned around. We found out later we turned back about 3km short of the waterfall. Oh well. We ended up getting gas from a hand pump out of a barrell. The drive was scenic and it always feels good to feel the wind on your face, so it was not in vain. So we found the vineyard and it had great views and we had lunch for quite cheap, especially for a vineyard. 3 meals, 2 drinks, and 2 wines for ~15$. Also so free wine tasting. Good times.
We had checked out our hotel, so we just went and hung out on the beach and waited for our night bus to Phuket. Oh and Kyle found the tickets we lost earlier where Jenn was blamed, but they were in Kyle's shirt pocket. We had checked all his pants' and shorts' pockets, but regretably not the shirts. Oh well.
