I still remember and wonderful experience- still remember a wonderful
The sun was bright, but the morning still was cool- you could drop the second usage of 'was' here.

We walked past the monkeys, who were chattering up a storm and then- maybe insert a comma after storm.

Can't change the font, color and font are required by the rules. But I agree it is difficult to read and not one I would choose. Thanks for the read. Appreciated.

Thanks for the read and for the pavement catch and for the mistake with Rose the. Very helpful. Kings refer to King Penguins who live at the South Pole.

Oh I don't think I'm a bet smart. I just happen to noticed them. You take good care. You are very welcome.

I found this an interesting story, with good, strong description. I liked the way it concentrated on just a few animals, in this way avoiding becoming boring.
