A friend of my husband asked us for a favor, visit the CRU (Conservation Response Unit) Sampoinet. Not so sure weather he wanted to just visit and make short survey or just another short escape after long days of working.
Fortunately, me and my husband was planning to go to his hometown in the coming future by motorcycle (around 7-8 hours ride), so we decided to do test-ride to cru, which is less than 3 hours ride.
Sitting at the back seat gave you the chance to enjoy the scenery more, but also make you feel sleepy all day long. Its dangerous I know, thats why i keep drinking my coffee, or sing along the way, just to wake myself up 😀
As we got there quite late for going around, we ended up only playing in the river while the elephant was getting clean up by the mahout.

In previous trip to CRU Sampoinet, We usually would stay at least one night so we have bunch of time to explore the nature surrounded that place. This was sudden plan. Also, due to the current condition, I dont think they already open for visitor to stay overnight. But I am not so sure myself either.
Maybe next time, I would write about another wonderful spot in this area. Maybe 😃
