City Park in Nairobi

I'm gonna try this slideshow deal. And, if you want to see the photos individual, larger, and/or for longer, you can click on the symbol on the bottom right-hand of the slideshow.

City Park is a park in Nairobi, just a short matatu ride from city centre. The main reason one would go there is to feed the many overzealous monkeys. People are always there selling peanuts, precisely for that purpose. They monkeys eat right from your hands. I plan to go back to see if I can coax one onto my shoulder.

In the photos, you see both the common grey monkey (don't know if that's its name, though), and the rarer colobus. Even Nyos, notorious monkey-hater that he is, got a lil bit excited about the colobus.
