Monkey Island and the Beach

Yesterday I had a sore throat and stayed home while Bob went on the tours. I thought they were supposed to be back around noon, but they didn't get back until 6:30 p.m. Some of the group went skuba diving. Here are some of Bob's pictures and comments.

mobile housing in the harbour--there is a power and tv antenna line running from mast to mast
more mobile housing

the sedan lift--a real Dopplemeir--atleast that is what the label said!!

I didn't know that Darwin is spelt as "Darwen"--well is is on the book that this fellow is sitting on

if these critters escape our tour guide said no problem--they just end up being eaten

these birds are trained not to land on your finger for less than one yuan and will go to the higher denominations before landing on the one yuan handboy could these monkeys go really quickly when on the stilts--the trainers had a hard time keeping up to them!!

the first time that I've seen a goat walking a high wire with a monkey on its back, and the monkey was doing handstands and other tricks

it was amazing to see the goat stand on the vase with all four and the monkey doing handstands--they both moved very slowly and cautiously--I think that they have not always been successful, but they were today

a beach with no one on it--very rare--you need to take a ferry or the cable car to get to this resort and it is not sheltered like the popular beaches

Muslim girls at the beach--so much for bikinis
