Day 11: Monkey Business!

Today was the perfect mix of fun, rest, laughter and sheer terror! Breakfast in our pj’s and a lazy morning was exactly what we all needed after working hard the past couple of days.

We drove to Monkey Mountain and were immediately faced with the sight of a very steep set of stairs! After huffing and puffing our way up the 800 or so stairs we were greeted with the sight of some VERY cute monkeys! 
However, the terror soon set in as we realised that the monkeys weren’t as cute as they appeared and would soon swipe us if we got too close. 
Another flight of stairs up and we reached the temple at the top of the mountain. It was very beautiful and ornate and the views were amazing. 
The monkeys were even more feisty up there particularly at the site of the bananas we gave them. 
After some instagram worth photos we headed back down the mountain. On the final steps we encountered the last monkey which, and this is not an exaggeration, quite literally charged at the two Hattie’s! 
We had the rest of the afternoon off to relax and explore the market or chill in the hotel. 
All in all a well deserved day of even if it wasn’t entirely relaxing!
