    Gentle Giants! There's no doubt who stole the show during this year's Summer Expedition - the elephants. They're Sri Lanka's most useful piece of farm equipment, with great advantages over the tractor. For instance, you don't need import licences, or any spares. An elephant has no use for petrol or oil, he's very unlikely to break down, and he can get to places where no wheeled vehicle can penetrate. But his greatest advantage is his intelligence. Simon, Peter and Janet discovered bathing Goldie is a pushover, compared with scrubbing their four-ton tuskers. They used coconut husks for loofahs and a soaking wet time was had by all-there's no doubt elephants have a huge sense of humour! Don't miss today's first report, and catch up with the latest news about the four-legged members of. the Blue Peter team - Goldie, Jack, and George the tortoise.

    Hidden Treasure ' King Solomon in all his glory' was probably wearing a robe studded in jewels that came from Sri Lanka. The quarter-of-a-million pounds' worth of jewels Janet wears might have been mined within a stone's throw of the gems that were taken to the Court of King Solomon - and the methods of mining have hardly changed at all in the last 2,000 years. Peter delves deep down a black, smelly hole in Ratnapura and ends up with a treasure-trove of sapphires!
