When you think of Indian weather, you think of heat. At this time in India it is winter and although it is still 35 degrees in the afternoon, it gets 'cold' in the morning. I say 'cold' because it is not like the cold we left back in Canada. When you are on a scooter in the evening and in the early morning you need to have a jacket or you will be cold. We arrived at our vehicles and started back to the hotel. Biri lead us along and turned off the road. We were heading up hill again towards the Monkey Temple. We stopped at the base beside a "corner store". I call it this for lack of a better word. Biri knew the family and he knew we could get a warm cup of Chai tea. It was the best tea I have ever had.
There is a family of monkeys who live in the trees close to the store. It was quite entertaining watching the monkeys biding their time, waiting for the store owners to look away when they would then swiftly swoop in and grab a few bananas. I think that it is actually team work on the part of the monkeys and the store owners. These funny creatures drew quite a crowd who just happen to buy bananas to feed the monkeys. It was a win win situation really.

Monkey or human?

"Corner Store"
If you look behind Paul and Biri you can see the tempting stack of bananas. You can also see the monkey feeding tourists.

Motherly love:
I couldn't stop watching how this mama monkey protected her little one. I think I was missing my little monkeys.
