The Wild Monkeys of Gibraltar

in #hive-1949139 months ago

Hi All,
Just really quick post. For past few months I was super busy with work, life and apartment renovation.... Which resulted in money spent but it is far from what we wanted. But this is for another story. But we had booked flight to Malaga so home renovation or not, we went there. It is just a rock throw to get to Gibraltar. And this time in record time one week or two got all photos developed which is for me a record.

Not that we were surprised by their presence, we knew that they are there. Still their presence gave us this feeling being close to primal nature.
This photo at the begging was not giving me much hope, but magic of software editing makes a lot possible :P But regardless I think this is best photo from the trip.

The monkeys were especially at the cable car peak. We were advised to keep our backpacks on front to avoid being robed by monkeys' :-)

But they were really well fed by Park representatives.

They worst part was taxi drivers delivering random people to the top and giving people food to feed the monkeys so they had their experiences with 'wild' animals. But regardless views are amazing there. In the distance there is Africa, so it really is so close.

But the whole trip will be in other post - if life allows it.

Got her trust, she showed me her tattoo. Probably some some underground culture there :P
