Indonesian adventure two Europeans (continued, p.2) The next night, three hours in succession heavy rain to five in the morning he expired. We began to prepare for our big hike, but after half an hour of rain began again! We got raincoats and defied the elements. In the march we went to three, I, Thomas and our Czech friend of Skoda. By the time we got to the forest, the rain intensified and walked for hours without stopping, but we still decided to continue the campaign. This must be the best way to explore the rainforests! In some parts of the forest was slippery and dark, so we had to be very careful. There were many large trees, mainly figs. Skoda soaked through and through and wanted to return. He joined another group, and we are with Thomas and our guide Jack went into the forest and soon saw monkeys! These monkeys are like little chimps. We noticed them when they are on the ground crossed our path. Later, we met with them again. For this bunch of monkeys watched a woman scientist from France. We acceded to last long, and she told us about the different types of behavior and character traits of different individuals within the clan. We saw a monkey mother with a cub. Macaques are very funny: they climb trees, wander around and play with each other. They did not pay us any attention. Soon we had to leave them alone, and we headed to the beach. Macaques, Jack cut a few leaves of palm trees and made for us a temporary tent. There, on the beach, we had a kind of picnic. Wave there were very large, so that no one dared to swim. We walked among the black boulders, which are likely to have a volcanic origin and were hewn waves. We managed to see many different sea creatures. While Skoda went to a safe place for swimming, we saw three small sea snakes about 15 cm each! Then we noticed some oily fish, shellfish, and a huge lot of snails. Drizzling rain from time to time, and soon we were back in the jungle. Jack wanted to show us the hornbills and, if possible, Male (gallinaceous bird, prim.perev.). He listened to the sounds coming from the forest, and we just followed him, sometimes issuing summons cry to hear the response of birds. We were lucky, we caught sight of a couple of Male. We watched them for about 20 minutes trying to photograph them while they were sitting in the trees. During the flight they make a whistling sound. Male - quite a large bird, and sound when flap they make just incredible. When they left, we tried to follow them, but they noticed us and then quickly retreated. Hornbills Then we decided to look at Dolgopyatov (mammal, a member of the genus of primates prim.perev.). Jack said that we are absolutely sure to meet them in the woods, and if that happens, he will not take snas pay for your work! He then explained that in the forest there are several species of trees, which live tarsiers, and just at that moment we came to the figs. He visited a flashlight in a hollow tree, and - lo! - We saw tarsiers, who had just woken up. Jack said we should wait until it gets dark, and the animals themselves will come out of their hiding places. We were joined by a few tourists, and we waited for the right moment. One of the conductors carrying was a few insects, he spread them out so that tarsiers noticed them and took! These creatures are able to very well and far to jump - about 50 meters! They are so cute and fluffy, but to touch their hands to us banned. At the tree lived Dolgopyatov 5 and 3 of them were sitting on the same branch. Here is a snapshot! And then when it got dark, animals left to hunt, more precisely, they started jumping between trees. Started hunting for insects, and therefore we had to leave them alone. As always happens in nature, he often falls prey to a hunter, according to its position in the food chain ecological community. At Dolgopyatov hunt snakes and owls, but we hope that all our friends animals to return home this morning, safe and sound. They are nocturnal residents, and sleep during the day. I forgot to mention that during all our walks we pursued a strong pleasant aroma. Later we realized that the smell came from the wild flowers of ylang-ylang tree (Latin: Cananga odorata, the Indonesian name kenanga - Sharok common tree from which is extracted essential oil, often artificially planted plantations, approx. Perevi.). The petals of its flowers fall to the ground, exuding a lovely fragrance. We picked up a few blades to kill the smell of your own sweat. Tarsiers way back was long. We are tired after a day out in the woods in search of wild fauna. The only animal that we have not seen it sulavessky bearish couscous (wood marsupial, approx. Perevi.). French tourists have seen him, but we're out of luck. As soon as we got to the hotel, I immediately took a shower and hung their clothes out to dry. Even my shoes soaked through! During the dinner was an interesting dialogue with the French and German tourists, then we have exchanged with them, e-mail addresses, and went to sleep. We woke up early in the morning to watch the fishermen unload their catch to shore. Jack was able to drive to the port of five - me, Slovenian, Czech, and two Frenchmen. Nothing much we did not see. Night was a storm, and a few went to fish in the sea. We went back and started to prepare ourselves to go into town Tomohon. Triple Jack, we paid 500,000 rupees, so it took us to Tomohon and within days had an interesting tour of the local attractions. We said goodbye to the French, but after 2 minutes came back because we forgot to Thomas his shoes, which was dried in the sun. Fishermen and boats start material:
