Monkey Business

While at breakfast on the first morning in Bali, a little visitor came to snatch the food off the table while we ate....we were more prepared than the table next to us, and my squeals upset the little boy on the next table, who started crying. His sister, who lost her breakfast to the fast felon, was wide eyed in confusion and their mother, thankfully, was laughing at me and the chaos...however, having arrived close to midnight, it was a wake up call that we were indeed in another country.


For the rest of the trip I kept an eye out when in 'monkey territory', scared to lose my glasses like I have on a previous visit.




I was amused that a literal truckload of bananas was safe when coissants on the breakfast table weren't...

  1. Hihi, dear Lydia, I think the monkey can always have bananas, but croissants only on lucky days ;-DDD Yes, the guys can be pretty quick. But they also provide adventurous holiday entertainment!
    ALL THE BEST from Austria and happy Thursday!

  7. Monkeys can be quite the mischievous trouble makers.

    We have quite a few in our corner of the world. Even my forest blog this week has a shot of the Langur monkeys. :)

    Great to link up here, Lydia.

  8. I think monkeys love bananas - and I like monkeys - and I ask myself - who will eat all those bananas on the truck? - Have a good time - Violetta

  9. Monkeys are a bit difficult to manage. The truck would have been emptied if the banana were ripe. Beautiful shots!

  16. Oh they are such cute but cheeky creatures. I remember being in Kenya as a child and the monkeys running off with the sugar bowls from the beach restaurants! Thanks so much for sharing and for linking up with #MySundaySnapshot.
