After the elephant ride we swapped a wooden seat for a wooden cart, pulled along by 2 oxes. They are so weird looking with a big lump on its back and really long neck flab! The cart had an umbrella so that was nice, seeings we weren't travelling through the shady jungle anymore. We went for a 20 minute ride through rice paddies and lush green countryside. The cart made me really appreciate rubber tyres! It was a very bumpy ride. The traffic was a bit hectic at times, when we went onto the roads, with other ox-carts and motorbikes zooming everywhere. We were dropped off to the restaurant for lunch. And when I mean restaurant, I mean the large hut with lots of tables and chairs and a long table with different food on it!
The buffet lunch was yummy. We had many choices of Thai food from rice and noodles to curry and chicken drumsticks (or little elephant legs as our guide told us!). Jono and I sat on a table with an Israeli couple who were really nice. They've told us we must visit their country. Maybe one day.
