Macaca

When Lorena visited me, I took her to Stichting AAP (AAP Foundation) http://www.aap.nl/

AAP Foundation is a European reception centre for exotic animals. The animals that come here are from the illegal trade, animal laboratories, circuses, zoos or directly from seedy individuals. AAP is specialised in the reception of monkeys and small exotic mammals, such as raccoons, skunks and prairie dogs. Often these animals are mistreated or neglected seriously. They get here the professional care. The ultimate goal of the foundation is to mentally and physically make the animals healthy again and put them back in their natural environment, in the form of a reserve or renowned Zoo. 

It is funny, because when she saw the monkeys, she said: my husband used to call me "Macaca" when he saw me eating diner with my hands instead of using fork and spoon:).

Aside from the monkeys, the estate has beautiful gardens, forest, tropical garden with birds, fishes, turtles and a waterfall, an art shop, a cattle barn and beehives.

The restaurant of the estate.

 The waterlelies.

 The water is covered with tiny white flowers. They looked like snow from a distance.

 I don't know the name of this plant. The flowers looked weird and out of proportion:).

 Little turtles sunbathing:).
