Old Town & Monkey Hill, Phuket

Our second and final day on Phuket island before we head to Koh Phi Phi tomorrow. We had a few rain showers, but most were extremely short and the weather brightened again shortly after. In the morning we explored Old Phuket Town where we enjoyed wandering around the streets and checking out local shops before riding to Monkey hill. They were not kidding when they said hill and the ongoing climb to get to the top was made even more challenging in the extreme humidity. Half way up, we got caught in a torrential rainstorm, and with the humidity, we definitely weren’t going to dry off any time. Riding past on a motorbike, a local gave us some bananas but they didn’t last long at all. Monkeys rushed over at the sight to which Jess decided to launch the bananas pretty quickly and hastily give a whole bundle to one monkey. Once at the top of the hill, we enjoyed the hilltop views and watched the monkeys in their groups. Whilst observing from afar, one curious monkey walked along a fence and then hopped onto Dan's back. It was a great experience with amazing views and yet again more huge spiders!Lue lisää
