This cruise happened about ten days ago.

So do you know what ‘proboscis’ means? It means, ‘nose’ and the monkeys with the big noses have got the notoriety of being named after them. The first tour I took when I was in KK was to take a river cruise to see the monkeys with a nice dinner afterwards.

I'm about the only person I know that takes a selfie and doesn't include myself in it.

Camera was zoomed in too much, that's why it's blurry.

I had a good time and took a lot of photos, but unfortunately the monkeys like staying high in the trees, so many of my photos didn’t turn out. They were either blurry or not framed well, but like I said some were pretty good, so I thought that I’d share. Oh, and at the end of the cruise we got the opportunity to see fireflies in the mangrove forest. I hadn’t seen them before, so seeing hundreds of lights flickering in the trees was something I really enjoyed, especially knowing that they were random organic lights.

Proboscis Monkey high in a tree. I met some good people during the tour and one just emailed me yesterday. What a nice surprise. She doesn’t speak English very well but maybe this will be my chance to learn a little Chinese/Mandarin.
