Tonight we are spending the night in the Elephant Safari park in Taro, Bali. It is, apparently, some famous place that is the number one place to be. So Julia Roberts stayed here? Who cares that the Prime Minister of Britain came, too? But, then I see that Dolf Lundgren was here in 2003! Holy shit- Dolf Lundgren! The Universal Soldier, himself. Now that is an A-list celebrity.
What does staying here get you? We were picked up by an elephant and taken to dinner. Tomorrow morning, another will come by the room, pick us up and take us to breakfast. It's kind of cool. I haven't been on an elephant since I was a kid. There was that time I was my Buddies wingman at Essie's in University, but elephant might be a little harsh. I want to insert a nasty joke about Vic for having to get his own elephant, but it is his birthday.
Bali is a very interesting place. It is sort of like a tropical Banff. Everybody has a carving shop and sells little trinkets. However, the prices are a little more reasonable. I have trouble seeing the paradise in it, though. I mean, with the white, sandy beaches, tropical rainforests and panoramic vistas something seems to be missing. There is something nice about seeing more Bule, though.
