Something I remembered

I love seeing animals in the wild, it doesnt happen much in my life so it is so exciting when it does. Danny and I when we were in Thailand years and years ago- woke up, had a lazy breakfast on the beach, and decided to get a little boat to take us to a random island off the coast of phi phi for the day. We didnt take anything with us, not even flip flops, just us and a bit of left over change from breakfast. So we got to this remote island and there was not one person on it, not one. And im talking white sand and crystal clear turquoise water, not blue water, turquoise water. So, being Danny, the first thing he wanted to do was go for a run around the whole of the island (!)- so off we set (at my pace- he was patient) and after about ten minutes of jogging on hot sand with only the sound of the waves and my panting- we heard this HUGE CRASHING in the distance in the trees, and Im not sure if it was fear or shock but we stopped dead in our tracks. I mean this was the loudest strangest sound. And then screaming- just lots of screaming. It sounded like some woman was being attacked it was so terrifying. So Danny, being the kind he is, ran straight towards the noise. I took my time. As we got nearer to the trees the crashing got louder and louder- and all we could see was things falling out of the trees. It was like a scene from Lost or something! As our eyes adjusted we realised it wasnt a woman screaming, being attacked, it was MONKEYS playing in the trees and throwing coconuts at each other!!!! That was one of the best experiences ever. We just sat down on the ground quietly and watched these monkeys for about an hour- it was truely AMAZING. Ill never forget that one.
