Had to check out some of the beaches today; read the newspaper at Freshwater Bay…
and then zipped down the coastal road to Ventnor. From there it was off to Owl and Monkey Haven to check up on my namesake ‘Martin.’ But first the Gibbons!
… NOISEY!
… I think most would lose an arm wrestle with these guys!
… finally came along to visit ‘Martin.’ He doesn’t look very happy – he’s on his own, the zoo is trying to raise £33k to get a pal called Lulu from France to keep him company.
… he looks angry!
.. ‘whoops, look cute for the camera!’
After saying my goodbyes it was off to Sandown for a trek along the beach…
