Hi All,

  Just a quick note.  No free wifi here. 

Went to Island Safari yesterday with cruising friends Rick and Suza from the sailboat Voyager.  They worked for NASA..so that’s where their boat name comes from   Friday Suza and I did our own walking tour of Old Town Phuket.  Sunday Suza, Rick, Randal and I went off for the half day at the small park where you get to sit on a waterbuffalo for a photo op, watch performing monkeys, and ride an elephant.  It was fun.  At one point our "driver" got off the elephant and that felt a bit scary but wasn’t.  Our elephant’s baby had come to the small pool for a bath and she wanted to be there too so we waited while the baby bathed and our driver hosed down our elephant. 

  Lots of photos taken and when I have a good connection I’ll send them.

  We’ve had some never before boat issues…so the vote is still out about our luck.  We’ll be here another 2 or 3 days and then head back to Rebak.
