We like coming to Lower Pierce. It’s nice and peaceful. B was laughing at me because I was scared of the monkeys. He’s more of an animal person than I am and he is quite fond of them. I find that they are becoming more aggressive. They jumped out of trees and I saw them grabbing someone’s plastic bag and the guy went running after them. B says it’s because we humans have invaded their territory and yes that’s so true. I guess all those people feeding them didn’t help either.
S. took me here, the one time we went cycling together – it was brilliant, so lovely and quiet and peaceful. And yes, those monkeys are much less afraid of me than I was of them..! Though somehow even the Singaporean monkeys seem nicer and safer than the ones we encountered on holiday in Thailand… Still, what a brilliant place for a picnick, we really must get out there soon again. Thanks for reminding me!
Oh yes in Bangkok many years ago a monkey jumped on my shoulders and at Batu Caves in KL I saw them snatching bags and screeching….we were a scared.
