Big Brother's Photo!

Big Brother Gerald is currently jaunting in Japan and I saw his stunning photographs of those monkeys in the icepools and asked if he'd send a particularly special one to me ... and instead he's sent me this one:

 NOT monkeys in icepools!

He's very perverse, my big brother, isn't he!

However, let's forgive him by reading what he has to say about those monkeys!

"Wednesday really was the best day of my life.  We went to see the Snow Monkeys in the hot spring. It's a two mile walk through a snow covered forest to get to those thermal springs ... 

Snow Monkeys are wonderful; very hairy, red faced and not at all interested in humans, mainly because they don’t get fed by the tourists. They just sit there in their hot spa.  Tourists are not allowed into the spa, firstly because it is nearly 50 degrees Celsius, and secondly, those little yellow things bobbing in the water are not pine cones."


And who needs his photo anyway, when there's always youtube:
