Galle Face Hotel – silverfox175

Arrived in Colombo to be greeted, just below our cabin balcony, by an elephant.

Not sure that I was happy with the use of the elephant as a photo prop. The elephant, in my opinion, seemed to be stressed as he or she shook its head to make a large bell that was tied around its neck to ring as it shuffled its feet.

The animal’s left rear leg was chained to a bollard – the same one being used by our cruise ship – see the blue rope.
