Monkeys at the Fort

Not very far from us but a little too far to walk, St John’s Fort straddles a hill. It dates from the days of the Portuguese and underwent a number of transformations with each occupation that ensued. Now the trees have grown up around it so the remaining guns no longer command an uninterrupted view in all directions.

We had the place to ourselves, apart from a small group of lively monkeys occupying the nearest treetops. And they didn’t even try to rob us!

For dinner we tried a different food centre we just discovered. Newton food centre is only about a 10 minute walk and has mainly Chinese and Nonya foods. We had barbecued chicken wings, satay sticks, rice and Portuguese tarts. A well balanced meal.
