A Walk through the Rainforest



TREETOP WALK
We had a great, but long walk on our adventure to the Tree Top Walk in the National Park near MacRitchie Reservoir. Ross knew there was a bridge that took you over the rainforest tree canopy and the possibility of seeing monkeys!  We did both, but what he didn't know is the walk took us 4 hours.  Starting at 10 AM and walking in a rainforest until 2 PM -- caused us to be stinky and hungry.  So once we flagged down a cab, he said, "Take us to the nearest McDonalds"  We haven't had much "homefood" with just moving in and really needed something familiar.  It tasted great.
Can you see what we believe is a blackbird of paradise.
Look at the size of the leaves behind us!

These long tailed macaques were just walking within feet (or should I say meters) from us!!
