monekys in the trees

aaah....what a weekend. I have spent the weekend with the nudists and his brother and girlfriend out on an island. Yesterday we took a boat out to one of the unhabited islands and yesterday we have spent the day on the island we lived on. Sharon and I took a walk to the beach trough the jungle and suddenly we see some monkeys in the trees, and they were so cute, there was one baby with them and one of them had a even smaller baby on her stomach. We just watched them as they wer peacefully moving ahead in the trees. Last came the dad, and he had a different attitude, naive as we were, we continued watching him. he watched us....for a while, and then he starts making all theese noices and suddenly he is about to attack us! We freak out and dont know what to do, but start walking away from there and he stops. I have heard that monkeys can be really aggressive and I have even been bit by one in Thailand (and gotten 5 rabies shots) so I have respect for them. Anyway, we walk to our beach and discover that the monkeys have followed us! The male keeps making theese gorilla noices and it seems like he is calling more males there, because soon we hear quite a few gorillas screaming in the trees, we stand in the water and are afraid of getting our stuff on the beach, it was actually kind of funny... :) Anyway, soon the monkeys realize that we are not going to hurt them and they fall asleep in the trees...we sneak away from the beach while they are sleeping :)
Tomorrow I will go to the town of David and that is where I will most likely spend my new year....we'll see :)

Glad that you didn't get attacked or have feces thrown at you. Sounds like your vacation has been good for you. Happy New Year!

Usch då! Jamen tur ni kom därifrån i tid. Inte vill man väl fira nyår med gorillor! :s

Jättespännande att läsa om dina reseäventyr. Och Gott Nytt År förresten (lite i efterskott)

Nu tar vi djärva steg in i det nya och hoppas det blir bättre än förra. Kram!
