Well we've spent the last couple of days in apeldoorn,Netherlands , we arrived on Sunday and Everything I mean everything was closed so we went to our hotel which is away from the centre good hotel but.... We needed some supper so we went into town in the pouring rain and it was completely abandoned only schecky dudes hanging around so we quickly left and was forced to eat at the hotel restaurant - it was horrid, so we gave up and went to sleep. The next day we had hoped to go to either a art museum in a cool national park or to the apenhul -a zoo with free roaming monkeys but it was pouring rain and the museum wasn't open on Monday's. So we went and got groceries so we would have food later and came up with the plan to take the train to the next town over , well we got there and it was basically the same thing rain and not much to do. We just went back to the hotel and hung out there for the rest of the day/night we were so board Dam rain!!! Tuesday we woke up determined to do something so we went with our umbrella to the apenhuel monkey zoo. It was amazing , you start by putting your purse in a monkey proof bag ,we were thinking yah right monkeys won't really be near you. We were wrong the first part was squirrel monkeys all around outside climbing on you and strollers swinging above your head. One came right on Corey and before we knew it it had stolen his pen from his pocket, it was so funny, we did manage to get it back from him though. There were chimps, oranagtangs, various other bigger monkeys not able to get near but very close, they were actually on islands and a small river was all the seperated you from them. Next we went ito the lemurs island were you can get close , they are so cute just like Madagascar. The highlight was defiantly the gorillas we went to watch them get feed and again very close, ivenever seen gorillas normative glass and we went and watched them on their island for a while after including when 2other monkeys swung onto the gorilla island and we saw the silverbacks male growl so loudcand chase them away scary and coolWe just couldn't believe how these monkeys cavan roam free among the visitors , there ere quite a few more fre roaming species and non free roaming ones. The zoo was defiantly worth the 2days of wsiiting through the rain to go to. Today we are off to Amsterdam until Monday, we got a amazing deal for a hotel that is a monument in Amsterdam and built in 1900 it should belts of fun.
