This time last week my friend and I went to Uluwatu. We arrived at the temple, put our sarrongs on and off we went. My friend was warned to take off her glasses as the monkeys might take them. Her response was she cannot see without them
As we trecked along the path, all was fine until I felt this thing on my back. I screamed like a little girl and the monkey jumped off. We got to the top of the temple, there were lots of cheeky monkeys runing around everywhere. Next thing, a monkey came running over to me, started pulling at my foot trying to get my thong off. It was a tug of war between me and the monkey to take posession of my thing.... I'm sure you can guess who won!!!!
My friend was nearly wetting herself laughing thinking how the hell can they get that off her foot, when the same thing happened to her. We were both "thongless" on the right foot.
We paid the Holy man 20,000rp and he kindly retrieved our thongs.... It was an extremely funny but frightening experience, at one stage I was nearly in tears (I'm a 38 year old women)....
