Monkeyland. When we arrived at Knysna we were warned that mondeys like to climb into the rooms and help themselves to sugar packets, so we should keep doors and windows closed. I was disappointed not to see any. "You will see plenty at Monkeyland"said Brian. We certainly did. Big, smaller than a cat, black and white, brown, some a funny yellow....these are monkeys originally kept as pets. As they grow up though they reassert their wild habits and their owners want to get rid of them. The lucky ones end up in Monkeyland where they are retrained to live in the wild. We walk around them, taking pictures. They don't seem to mind, but we are not allowed to touch them. Children are offered cats instead.
The forest os lovely, with tall trees and the long swinging Pul Sauer bridge which reminds me of the Capillano bridge in Vancouver.
