Translation of awkward in German

We had never been so close to monkeys and they seemed to play with us. We threw bananas into the trees which were elegantly captured by these little monkeys. It was really funny and new to us.
We decided to walk back and explore the city on foot. It was hard to cross the streets as there was an endless flow of motorcycles and bikes. One needed to just enter the street and cross it.
Many thanks for your letter. I am delighted to tell you that I have passed my exams and am looking forward to the next year. Meanwhile I am planning a trip to Costa Rica and some places around there.
