Little Bastards. What’s cute, cuddly looking and snarls. A Monkey. I think they wanted our drinks and backpacks. We had set out for the first time in a few days traveling more than the food court next to the hotel. Off to the Botanic Gardens. We caught the bus most of the way and walked the rest. There were the usual tempes etc along the way. Almost there, there is a park with seats and shelters. Oh look a bunch of monkeys, how cute. I want to go have a closer look. So off we go. oh how cool, click, click, oh look there’s some little babies, how cute, oh look there climbing the trees and power poles. Then suddenly Hiss, Growl, the little bugger was showing 2 inch canines and growling like he was serious. Ok, lets get out of here. We edged back and gave him a show of kicking feet and a roaring yell when he got closer. out to the safety of the road. I guess that’s what happens because people had been feeding them and we didn’t.
There were heaps more in the gardens but they seamed a lot friendlier, probably due to the copious amounts of peanuts people were giving them.
We caught the tram thingy around the garden and then waked around. The gardens are not well maintained, but the lawn are nice, most people seem to go there for jogging.
There were some interesting plants and palms so tall that even the 3 stage ladder wouldn’t get to the top of them.
the cannon ball tree is quite weird. the fruit and flowers grow from stalks on the trunk, not in the branches at all.
