This was not an excursion that the boat offered:) Greg decided we would check around and see what was the best thing to do in Honduras and he kept reading about the monkeys! Ends up this driving service there on the island is owned by a man that has a bunch of monkeys at his house and if you hire one of his drivers for the day then you can come see the monkeys and play with them as much as you want! Crazy right? Well it ended up being the most amazing experience of the trip! The monkeys were so adorable! We liked the baby monkeys the most and in the video you will see why! One of the big monkeys bit Abby's ear! Don't worry though he didn't break the skin just "nibbled" on it a bit:( She wanted to get out of the cage fast! After that incident we went back to play with the baby monkeys again and Reese got to hold two 3-month monkeys....we were scheming on how to take one home:)
Well check out the pictures and the videos...it was a blast and if you are ever in Honduras look up Victor Bodden-the man with the monkeys:)
View from the west side of the island....it was beautiful!!
holding Tiko for the first time!
too funny..these guys were NUTS!
they would wrap their tails around you neck and their little hands were like Velcro and looked just like human hands...it was a really weird feeling as they climbed up your arm!
these monkeys LOVED Greg:) They kept jumping down onto his head...hilarious!
This little guy just hungout on my arm like that for quite awhile! His name is Tiko--our favorite!
These big guys creep/scared us...VERY aggressive! It didn't help that a week before we left for our trip I heard about a lady getting her face ripped of by a monkey...yikes! Thank goodness we all returned with our faces!:/
That is not a two headed monkey:) It's two baby monkeys hugging each other....the most adorable thing in the world!
Abby and Tiko---she loved this guy!
