Feeding Frenzy

Catfish enjoying a meal...thank goodness they weren't dogfish
We have lots of photos of sky and trees...and a few eagles
Safe from the predators
The monkey dance


You may think we are going to describe the three local restaurants where we ate breakfast, lunch and dinner today and indeed it was a feeding frenzy of a type. Instead we are going to tell you about feeding frenzies in the animal kingdom, in one of which we became the meal.

We went on an island hopping trip by fast boat and had some fascinating experiences. Our first stop was at the Lake of the Pregnant Maiden, the largest fresh water lake in Langkawi, on an island off the coast. According to legend, a fairy princess buried her child who died, in the lake and blessed the water so that any childless woman who swam in the lake would become pregnant. We both enjoyed a swim but soon after, had to rescue a man who almost drowned.

After our swim, we dangled our feet at the edge where hundreds of catfish swarmed over them. They were in a feeding frenzy as they eat the dead skin off your feet. We became the meal.

We zoomed off to a bay where hundreds of eagles congregate and we watched them go into a feeding frenzy on the fish morsels used to attract them. They were so fast, it was very hard to photograph them.

Our final stop was at a beautiful bay where we swam but fortunately there were no sharks in a feeding frenzy.

We saw lots of monkeys at both the islands where we visited but there were signs up not to feed them as it sends them into a feeding frenzy.

When we returned to our tree house, we found the ants were in a feeding frenzy on our packet of savoury biscuits. We probably ate some of them along with our cheese and pre lunch drinks!

For the rest of the day we have been in recovery mode.
