Day 5.5, Ulawatu Temple and the monkeys

In the evening we went to Ulawatu Temple because TV wanted to photograph the sunset and see monkeys and fire dancers. At first things were going quite well with monkeys and people respecting their distance, but then things took a bit of a turn. TV cut off KT's head in photographs, and then things just went downhill. One of the monkeys stole SV's bunny from TV's backpack and then ran away with it. Then he started tearing into it in the bushes hoping to get a treat. After that minor victory the monkeys got bolder and nastier, trying to get food from us.

We managed to leave without getting hurt but it was a bit unnerving. The sunset was quite beautiful though and we took a couple of family photographs. We then met up with everyone else before heading to dinner at a restaurant that sat right on the beach.
