But we did!
The next Sunday (They’re only available on Sundays, by the way), we were there again, and it was our last day in Bengkulu. Sandra had been expressing her desire to ‘naik gajah’, but we doubted if we could because they’re only available at 11, and our plane was leaving at 12.
We spent the morning worshipping as a group near the beach, and as Sandra and I walked towards the cottage, we saw Dino and Natasya again! And it was only around 10. We were scared if there would be a long line, but when I asked the guides if we could ride, they let us right away. Sandra was about to hop on Natasya’s back, but she was gracious enough to let me taste the ride with her now, because I had ridden Dino before.
