After another set back with the old health, we spent the past few days just relaxing and taking it easy so the old body could rest. But being sure that I was feeling better and not wanting to move on until we had been on the mechanical elephant, we headed to Nantes to experience something different.
I am not really sure how to explain the whole thing, but some designers came up with the idea to create and build all these mechanical mammals and animals for something different and to draw people into this particular area in Nantes. The other mechanical elements are included in a Ferris wheel which also looks pretty cool. But the thing we were most interested in was the elephant!
It was awesome! It could make the sound of an elephant, looked exactly like an elephant and even blew water from its trunk. It was something so different to experience and we thoroughly enjoyed it. You can also check out our video.
