On Friday Morning, Chris and I decided to take a morning trip to Nanwan Island. Nanwan
Island is the home to over 2000 macaques (a very old breed of monkey).
Nanwan Island (aka Monkey Island) can be reached by taking a
gondola on an “overseas ropeway”.
 |
| The view of the fishing and houseboats from the gondola was breathtaking! |
When we stepped off the gondola, we had the privilege of meeting a slew of monkeys!
 |
| Welcome to my island. DON'T FEED US!! |
 |
| I was amazed at how easy it was to approach and photograph the monkeys. |
 |
 |
| I love me some bananas!!! |
 |
| Don't steal my cookie!! I worked hard to lift it from that nice man. |
 |
| HI! HI! HI! HI! |
 |
| Welcome to the monkey spa...feel free to pick your treatment! |
 |
| I love the facial expressions. |
 |
| Can I hitch a ride? |
 |
| 5...4...3...2... |
 |
| This is my favorite picture of Chris. |
 |
| 30 seconds after this picture was taken, the monkey swiped at me because I showed teeth when I smiled. |
 |
| If you take one more step, I will throw it! |
 |
| It's five o'clock somewhere...GAMBEI! |
 |
| Feel free to leave whenever you are ready. |
Long story short, we had a fun time hanging with these
cuties!
