One family’s dream vacation in Bali, Indonesia became more memorable than planned when a monkey grabbed their camera and took a selfie with them while flipping the finger.
The shot of a lifetime occurred during a day trip to the Ubud Monkey Forest, where monkeys in the hundreds reside.
Husband and wife Simon and Judy, from the Sunshine Coast in Queensland, Australia, were with their three kids Elijah, Jimmy, and Kayleigh, during the trip to the forest. Just like any tourist, they asked one of the local guides to snap pictures of them.
However, they were stunned when they saw that one pic had an epic photobomb in the form of a monkey who had grabbed the camera and seemingly took a selfie with them while flipping the finger. The family ended up bursting in laughter at the shot.
Judy said: “We were only in Bali for a week and thought it would be fun to go on a day tour around Bali.
“As part of the tour, we went to the monkey forest. I thought it would be a fun experience.
“While we were there, a guide offered to take our photo. But as he did, a monkey suddenly came in front of the camera.
“The guide had peanuts in his hand and then began feeding him. It was really funny.
“As I was flicking through the photos afterward, I noticed that in one of them the monkey was actually giving us the finger.
“I showed my husband and we both started laughing. We thought it was hilarious.
“The monkey definitely had a cheeky persona going on.
“We had such a great time there and these funny photos made it even better.”
The unforgettable photo was taken during their December 2018 trip to Bali and this is the first time they’ve shared the pic online.
Although unplanned, the shot became the highlight of their entire vacation and they look forward to returning to Bali someday.
She added: “I posted the photo to my Facebook and Instagram and all my family and friends thought it was hilarious.
“The experience was one of the highlights of our trip, and the photo itself is something we can look back on to remember forever.
“Bali is such a beautiful place and we can’t wait to go back one day.”
