Saturday's Happenings

Boy, sorry this is so very far behind...we have been on the road quite a bit and there hasn't been as much time to update this blog. So here is a bit of an abbreviated version of what we did on Saturday. We went to Kakum National Forest where we walked on one of the 6 walkways of this kind in the world. These walkways (and there were 6 of them that we carefully traversed this day) were about 60 meters above ground and were only a single plank, with roping on each side. Our guide said if anyone was afraid of heights, then don't look down (which of course no one listened to!). I have lots of pics of this adventure plus some other pics of this rain forest which I will load hopefully later Friday when I get home. And we had to climb for about 20 minutes to get to these walkways. It was very hot (of course) and it was hard work. After the rain forest, we went to a monkey sanctuary where a guy from Holland had made it his life's work to gathered injured monkeys. Nancy will blog more on that. After this we went to Hans Botel for a late lunch/early dinner. Had some fried rice and shrimp which didn't set too well. The view was interesting however...lots of crocodiles surrounding the Botel which sat on a river (near as I could tell). The rest of the evening was just resting and a bit of blogging. Will post pics on all this soon!
