Monkey business
Topic: Peru
We were up early in order to get to the ox-bow lake and claim the floating platform by 8am. The sun beat down ye we spent a pleasant 3 hours drifting slowly around the lake spotting birds and animals - including the endangered giant otter, bats, turtles and a black caiman.

On the walk back we looked for woolly monkeys. When we found some, Nicolas decided to provoke them by shaking trees so that they would get angry and throw stuff down on us. I asked him to stop. He must have thought I was a right misery guts. I told him that we were there just to observe nature not interfere. A biologist should be giving us that speech not the other way around.
