World of Birds...

We went to the World of Birds Wildlife Sanctuary and Monkey Park - the largest bird park in Africa - on Saturday, 18th December. Mom joined us for the visit and we had a fun time at this park located in picturesque Hout Bay. A highlight was Monkey Jungle, where you walk through an enclosed area with black capped squirrel monkeys - Candace pictured here with one on her shoulder! We also enjoyed having a picnic lunch surrounded by different birds. :)
