They arrived at 8am and stayed for a good hour, eating the green bananas and young papaya leaves around our home.
Here are a few shots I was able to take...
Which actually wasn't all that easy as Esteban (my 2 year old) was screaming with excitement and pulling at my leg the whole time!
Mean-looking buggers some of them. It's that mohican hairstyle that freaks me out!
Generally speaking these monkeys are amazing and don't bother us at all. Except for eating all our organic fruit of course!
Only on one occasion did we find a huge monkey in the house who didn't want to leave... and for a few months 'Big Daddy' became my nemesis!

Thankfully I've not seen him for a long time. He was a bit scary frankly and not scared of me at all!
Love this island :)
Great photos and story. This guys look cute, but, as you write, I would not trust them, not to become agro from one moment to the other!

Yes, I've had some experience with monkeys in SA and I know not to trust them. Though the Indonesian monkeys seem less cheeky on the whole :)

Oh, they can be nasty if you are not careful.
My housing area often have a family passing through , if you forget to close the window and your curtains are open, they will come in.
Just yesterday morning I heard them jumping from roof to roof tiles, and you can hear some "clang" sound and some screeches.
When I was looking after a Siberian Husky pup, they tried to snatch the pup when I was letting the pup out of the house for breakfast and relief itself.
