Backflipping off elephants

Yes I did :) And it was awesome...
I'm desperately trying to upload some more video but it seems like a hopeless task through a phone line... which is a common problemo here, so what to do, right?
The meal last night was great. I could only eat half a pizza coz my belly has shrunk, but it sure tasted good. Afterwards we plodded to the Jungle Bar, where a small birthday celebration was going on, and the Dutch girls had been entertained by some locals... Sipped cheap whiskey all evening and talked and talked and talked and... staggered home at around 2. Good times!
Got to the elephant fun well on time to be in there around half an hour, climbing up trunks and getting thrown off... pretty amazing creatures :) somehow I just can't imagine these huge wrinkly giants being kept as well earning pets in the Wild West, as there would be no where to put them in Holland, Belgium, the UK (maybe tours of the lake district) but here... normal as dogs. And a lot more interesting :)
So I backflipped off of one... or at least I tried... and this guy's PC doesn't like the 84 MB video... so tough luck :(
Last evening here. To Pokhara tomorrow. Another long busride (+- 6 hours perhaps) but if the weather's good I can ride topgun and all is well. Plus I'll be meeting up with the organisation's boss... so who knows what that will bring?
Later alligators!
