However before we could go to see the monkeys we had to stop at the local market to buy banana, now I know what your thinking big banana like you get in tesco but these were really small about the size of fingers but very sweet apparently. With our guide negotiating local price a bunch cost us 1500rp (8p).
On our way to see the monkeys we then stopped to see the largest waterfall in Bali. The waterfall was quite nice but the walk down to it and back in 30 degree heat was a bit of a killer.
A little while later as we were driving along we started to see lots of monkey by the side of the road and just a little way further we pulled in a lay by were a whole family of monkeys lived. Once out of the car with bananas in hand the monkey seemed to take a very quick interest in us. However once the bananas were go it was back to playing a grooming each other. The little one did remind me of two little girls I know (Jess and Ruth), running round causing havoc.
The Hindu temple was the next stop of the day and it was simply amazing, it beats the pants of the plan churches we have back home. While we were there we saw a couple going to have what we thought were wedding pictures but in Bali they have photos taken before the wedding for the invitation dressed in their full wedding outfits.
Then before leaving I went the toilet only to find it would more than a penny to spend a penny, I found it quite strange to have to pay to use toilet.
At the place we stopped for lunch the car park attend had to fruit bat that he kept picking up and waving about asking if we want our picture taken with them however we politely declined. He also had a very strange looking bird which I can only image was related to a toucan.
After lunch we head to the hotel.
