We\nstarted the day again with yoga and despite Phil\u2019s hilarious\nhuffing and puffing we seem to be getting the hang of it. After our\nelephant chores and breakfast, we went on a walk through the forest\nwith the elephants, which was inspiring and fun. Sina the Mahout\nshinned up the trees and picked fruit for us to try, Mango,\nJackfruit, Rose Apple and Papaya, apparently there are 64 types of\nBanana in Sri Lanka. Thankfully we didn\u2019t try them all! Today we\nalso started our projects at the sanctuary, which included a wall\nmural that most of the people worked on, and some signs with facts\nabout the area, which Nick, Mr Curry, and Jasper worked on. There was\na skyline from famous city land marks painted on one of the volunteer\nblocks and I, Eliza sketched out cartoon elephants on toilet block.\nIt really was great fun. In the late afternoon we went into town in\nTuk-tuks. This soon became a race. We went to a small local cinema.\nHalf way through the film it cut out, very confusing? It turned out\nthat this was an interval. We had some strange popcorn which was\ncurry, cheese or chicken flavoured. It was nicer than it sounds. I\ncan\u2019t say the same for the squatting toilets. More project work\ntomorrow, I can\u2019t wait.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
