It rained a little in the night again. Bit brighter this morning with some sunny spells, but still windy.
We set off on the 10 mile drive to Monkey World Ape Rescue Centre. Monkey World assists governments around the world to stop the smuggling of primates from the wild. At the centre, refugees of this illegal trade, as well as those that have suffered abuse or neglect are rehabilitated into natural living groups.
Every 30 minutes one of the keepers gives a 20 minute talk about the monkeys that they care for. They tell you about all they monkeys by name and how they came to be in the park. All very interesting.
We spent around five and a half hours admiring the monkeys many species of monkeys. The weather held out nicely and at times the sunny spells were very warm.
We headed off around 5pm and called for some shopping on the way back to the van for the evening.
