Some pictures from our recent visit to the "rock". I wouldn't say we were "terrorised", but we unthinkingly took a plastic bag with us to the summit in the cable car and we certainly had to be pretty careful not to get attacked. As soon as we got off we were surrounded - they associate plastic bags with food. We had to dispose of the bag. While we had it with us we had to walk around watching very carefully that we didn't give one of them a chance to grab the bag. They are perfectly happy leaping onto you to to grab things from your hands. While we were up there I saw two different people get "jumped" and lose bags with food in them. No injuries caused, but they certainly had a fright. I don't blame the apes, it's our fault they associate plastic bags with free food.
