Huuummp Daaaaaay!!!!!!


This is the adventure that I have been waiting to post!!!!!!  We rode camels!!!!!!  It was quite the experience.  Some of us took short rides and others took the scenic route by the beach (I took the short ride, there was a weight limit for the camels and I exceeded it. So.... I didn't want to tax the poor camel too much plus the guide was eyeing me ).  It cost $5 for the short tour which was basically a lap around a track and $20 for the longer more scenic ride. They have saddles as you can see but they have humps so it is a very wobbly ride.  They are moody little buggers too and they were screaming and snapping at 
some of the riders (my husband).  It was very cool though, they are so tall and have very strong backs (heehee).  


My daughter took the scenic ride, and when it was time for the ride to be over her camel refused to stop walking.  They told her that he felt comfortable with her and that she was a natural.  A natural born camel rider?  Who would have known? 


More Camels and a Goat
