We have landed in heaven I am sure. Just arrived at the Cape Grace Hotel - and all the attendants are in full attire to greet us. We have been treated like royalty every step of the way. The only thing we are missing is a wardrobe to go with the hotel. We are on the 1st floor and when we open our balcony doors we could step right onto a yacht that is moored outside our window. Unbelievable! We have been in the jungle for a week so this will be a wonderful reprieve. Can now access the highspeed internet so will send off some photos.

These scally wags have been up to monkey business trying to steal everyone's lunch. The waitress has to throw rocks at them to keep them away. They are cute but very naughty

Even this baboon looks like he is on holidys. He sat like this for the 20 minutes we sat and watched the baboons. I think he was on look out!

This little guy can sing like you wouldn't believe! When the flood waters recede he becomes food for the birds but the eggs he left behind will bring new frogs next flood season
