Day Fourteen

Monday, January 16th. Today we went out again in search of baboons and found a whole troop that survive on humans feeding them from their cars on the side of a road. Many people get out of their cars to take pictures of the cute babies and don't realize that baboons know how to open car doors of many different varieties, they even tried to get onto our bus. Also, if you come out of your car with a bag on you the baboon may actually take it from you and search the contents for food. In this case, we have been told that the best plan of action is to simply let the baboon have the bag. I have some close up pictures:

 Erin and a baboon!



 We were waiting for these baboons to raid the cars and the people around us but it never happened :p

At nighttime we went to the waterfront! We ate at a fantastic restaurant and went on the ferris wheel down there, here are some pictures:
