Today we traveled from Kandy to Columbo which was a fairly long trip broken up by numerous exciting distractions. A big surprise was seeing a lady with three porcupines on leashes like dogs. She was very unhappy when we were taking photos as this was her way of making a living so naturally we contributed.
The main event was visiting the Pinnawala elephant orphanage which we all loved. We even got to feed and touch the elephants.
It is quite the heart-warming place, especially when we were able to watch them go to the river and swim and bathe.
The youngsters love to frolic like young children, splashing and rolling in the water. Many of the elephants have been injured and are unable to survive in the wild while others are released when possible.
If you'd like more information Google the Pinnawala elephant orphanage.
