The monkey and the kitten in Bali

Don't they make a pretty picture. They performed a dance whilst I eat my meal in their restaurant. Afterwards they visited the tables and gave everyone a flower to place behind their ears.

Here is the monkey who kidnapped the kitten in Bali. She would squeal and he would look at her as if to say "what's up with you" and shake her like a pepper pot. It really broke my heart but there was nothing I could do about it. The keepers could not get involved until the poor kitten was dropped and ignored.

Elegant women would walk along the dusty road with huge baskets of fruit on their heads, I could never work out how they managed to balance their load .... and why weren't they looking exhausted.

This baby elephant was delightful. I noticed the way the staff looking after her never made her do any tricks. They would invite her into the ring and ask her if she wanted to kick the ball but if she didn't want to do it she was left to her own devices which usually pleased the crowd even more than her complying with her keeper.
