Unfortunately Shock! the monkey had caught a terrible cold and had to stay in bed for several weeks. Weather and temperatures in Germany can't be the reason for that! But we bought some new batteries, nursed him back to health and now cough and barking are gone. The place we found for him has a beautiful 270° - sight to "Kieler Förde" and is a meeting point for leisure time sailors. Hopefully he gets a hike across the sea! Good luck!
