This one was taken on my cell phone on the steps heading up to the caves.
The rest of the pictures are camera pics. I couldn't keep up with both the phone and the camera. These two were taken on our way up to the entrance stairs.
This little one was in the middle of the stairs on the way up. The stairs are split into three lanes all the way up. Notice how this one has been given a wide berth? There is a reason for that...
So, as you can imagine there are plenty of opportunities to take breaks while climbing the stairs to watch all of the monkeys. This guy is significant for a reason. While we were stopped at one point watching the entertainment around us this one let us know he was there, too. We were standing on the stairs just under this guy with our backs to him completely unaware that he was even there, until...for no apparent reason he just reached out and hit Patric on the head and started yelling at him. What makes this so funny is that he didn't even run after doing it...he just sat right where he is and looked down on us like nothing had happened. Needless to say, we moved on. =)
Doesn't this one look like he is posing?
They really like their coconuts. Actually, they really like any kind of food type substance that they can find. We saw many an argument between monkeys over such items! We even saw them chase a group of guys that sounded like they were from England over a water bottle...crazy!
Another one that looked like she was posing.
A mother and her baby on our way out.
So I have finally seen monkeys!!! These were pretty interesting to watch but I've been told that there is a place not too far out of town that has better monkeys. They will sit and hang out with you while you feed them. I'm looking forward to going and seeing these monkeys! But for now, the Batu Cave monkeys will do just fine!
See you next post!!
I am so excited!!! They are soo cute and they have awesome tails. That's funny that one hit patric but he just wanted some attention lol. Thanks for all the pics, they were wonderful.
