Translation of columnist 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.
Anyway, back on the boat station we tipped the father and left. The bus was already waiting although we were the first ones to arrive. We had to wait nearly one hour until everybody was back.
The next morning, we got up at 5, had breakfast and headed back to the same airport where we landed a few hours earlier. The 1 hour flight was packed with lots of tourists of all ages, mainly Americans.
