The Ubud Monkey forest is a small nature preserve on the southern outskirts of Ubud (see map). Along with its lush surroundings and a beautiful temple are hundreds of monkeys -- Balinese macaques, to be more specific. They're very tolerant of people, but are famous for stealing food and sunglasses from tourists, so you have to be careful around them.

	Susanne walks through the monkey forest.		It's amazing how close you can get too the monkeys -- just don't try to pet them!
	Susanne just can't get enough of them.		Or maybe they just like being photographed?
	Pura Dalem Agung, the Temple of the Dead, is now home to a troupe of monkeys.		A young monkey investigates Susanne's camera.
	We met this one monkey inside the temple who simply loved to pose for the camera. Here he is showing off his toes...		And his posture....
	And his teeth...		And an upside down view of his tummy...
	And his tail....		And his sensitive side...
	And his cute side...		And his teeth again....
	And finally, his sexy Mick Jagger imitation.		A little tot has a snack.
	Baby monkeys love to climb all over their siblings....		Susanne and Andy at the temple, sporting a pair of sarongs and temple scarves rented from the ticket office.
	Coconut husks make a fine toy for this youngster.		Feasting on a fruity snack.
	Taking a break from the crowd.
