Trunk waving, the female elephant walked amonst the stalls as bewildered shoppers give her a wide berth. She had reportedly escaped from a nearby circus. "My heart did go a bit faster," said Alice de Groot.
Ms de Groot said Buba did not appear frightened by the unfamiliar surroundings. "(When her carer arrived) he called Buba, and the elephant turned around and went like a tame lamb with him," she said.

Circus Freiwald spokesman Gerard Guiking said the 40-year-old playful pachyderm refuses to be fenced in. "She's never fixed and bears no collar. We cannot stop her," he said. "She loves children and super sweet. She really is like a dog who goes sometimes to walk."

Y'know, when I go to a rummage sale, I more expect to see zebras and buffaloes.
I'm glad no one got hurt.
And that the elephant had a good time.

ya know in America a car boot is called a trunk. So it seems appropriate that the elephant wanted to visit.
