In Vietnam we were on the move mostly by bus but also by ferry (disembarking could be difficult), by motorised punt on the Mekong steered nonchalantly by the driver with his foot and by speed boat also on the Mekong heading into Cambodia, the music from Apocalypse Now resounding in my head.
Whilst in Switzerland to move about some brought their own wheels or travelled the rack railway up, up and further up.

Whilst in New Zealand we travelled mainly by car but we also moved about in the air by helicopter, on the sea in a boat and Roger bravely travelled by luge and chairlift. The elephant was not in New Zealand but in Cambodia. It moved to NZ by itself and refused to go to it’s correct home.

About Irene Waters 19 Writer Memoirist
I began my working career as a reluctant potato peeler whilst waiting to commence my training as a student nurse. On completion I worked mainly in intensive care/coronary care; finishing my hospital career as clinical nurse educator in intensive care. A life changing period as a resort owner/manager on the island of Tanna in Vanuatu was followed by recovery time as a farmer at Bucca Wauka. Having discovered I was no farmer and vowing never again to own an animal bigger than myself I took on the Barrington General Store. Here we also ran a five star restaurant. Working the shop of a day 7am - 6pm followed by the restaurant until late was surprisingly more stressful than Tanna. On the sale we decided to retire and renovate our house with the help of a builder friend. Now believing we knew everything about building we set to constructing our own house. Just finished a coal mine decided to set up in our backyard. Definitely time to retire we moved to Queensland. I had been writing a manuscript for some time. In the desire to complete this I enrolled in a post grad certificate in creative Industries which I completed 2013. I followed this by doing a Master of Arts by research graduating in 2017. Now I live to write and write to live.

Yep. Elephants do what they want and they never forget. You wouldn’t have caught me going down that’s for sure.

I love your travel photos! Have never ridden an elephant but did ride a camel in Jordan. The elephant looks more comfortable. My husband and I have only made one trip to what used to be called the Far East (Japan). If the plane flight weren’t so dang long, we’d be planning another trip.

Both sway which makes me feel extremely uncomfortable being so high up but the means of riding an elephant is definitely more comfortable. I know what you mean about long flights. It puts us off travelling these days as well
