Cape Point, South Africa.

Throughout my travels I developed quite a hatred of monkeys. They're basically a primate version of seagulls or pigeons. They're filthy and steal food. I got many dirty looks from people when I was observed trying to punt a monkey. Never did manage to get one. Anyway, the baboons at Cape Point set a new standard. As I was playing on the cliffs, indulging my own primate climbing urges, I found a wallet, then a passport, then a plane ticket for the following day and finally a journal. All belonged to some Swiss girl who had a baboon run up to her and yank her bag out of her hands, and proceed to rifle through it looking for food. At the bottom of the cliffs, I was witness to a Japanes girl getting attacked by a baboon as she got out of her car. As others went to her rescue, my inclination was to take a picture, but finally decided that would be a bit cruel. However when the same girl and her friends were stupid enough to get back in the car and leave the door open, allowing the baboon to get in with them, I figure it's fair game. Unfortunately the picture didn't turn out too well.
