... sight of something, and we discovered that we had come across a fairly large group of monkeys. We watched them for quite a bit, as they were playing in the trees but also on the ground, but eventually they went away. <br><br>Heading further up the path, we passed a small rat/rabbit-like creature, and then arrived at another nice lookout over the ocean. John spotted a few more monkeys in the tree. Once you find a monkey, it turns out that there are ...
