howling monkeys
we arrived on ilha grande a couple of days ago. after finding our hostel we went to the beach before setting off on a walk. there were signposts to a waterfall which sounded as good as any place to walk towards. the trail began to get steeper, which wasn't very fun in flip-flops, and we sensed the sun was on it's way down. still we persevered, up until we heard a strange noise coming from the trees. my mate was convinced that there was danger ahead, in fact i think the exact phrase he used was "that sounds like wild pigs... fuck that, i'm turning back!" i insisted we kept on going, and as we turned round the corner we saw these three monkeys howling in the distance. we were lucky that i was brave enough to keep on walking. but then again, my bravery did stem from my belief that the noise we were hearing was a chainsaw.
