Road to Chennai 2015

Friday, September 18 2015

There are already players enjoying India on their way to the World Bridge Championships: Chennai 2015, David Gold brings us this elefantastic experience:

David loves animals and wildlife so today we spent the day on an elephant farm near Jaipur. When we arrived we were given a lovely 28 year old lady elephant (elephantess?) and spent a while getting to know her and feeding her millet plant bundles. Then came the painting (we are not at all artistic), washing and a ride. Of course while we were riding, the sky opened up and we were completely drenched so no pictures of that part.

David and Marusa playing…not bridge:
