Third day — boat tour around the islands
The third day we had wonderful weather, it was perfect for our boat trip.
We visited many caves and enjoyed the sun. At that day we met Peter, a Dutch zoologist. He works on the project to save the small population of the lagures, a small monkey species, which only lives in Cat Ba. At this moment there are only 64 animals left and Peter is working on how to improve their rate of breed. As he said they’re very lazy concerning this topic ^^.. female animals live in their own group with only few male animals.
I think it’s a rather interesting job and his place of work is fantastic, although he said that it was the first time, going to the islands by boat. But he has been in Cat Ba (Vietnam) only since February, so I think he’ll have much more chances to go around.
And what’s more interesting is, is that I saw him tonight on TV, while they were reporting about the National Park Cat Ba ^^.. I get to know more and more celebrities during my work….so great! =)
