Riding a camel. Not so comfy, quite awkward, but one of the funniest things I have done. I don't know why but as soon as my camel started walking I giggled like a school girl for a very long time. It is so weird, very different from riding the elephant, and their faces are so funny looking as well. There is a lot of padding so it isn't too bad, and they had one camel for each person, as well as separate camels lugging the cart carrying our food and water. Camels fart....A LOT!! I thought they would be more of a spitting type due to the stories I have heard, but they fart, and fart and fart. It's quite funny!
Through the Indian desert, we stopped every 2 hours for a rest because of the intense heat. The second stop, the camel drivers made us a great meal of 3 different curries, all vegetarian, and delicious. After they cleaned up, we got back on the camels and rode to our camp for the night. We saw the amazing milky way and luckily they had brought beer, which was not very cold but a treat for sure. (beer in the desert, hahaa)
It turned out to be a great night there were 12 of us, all with amazing stories to share, and a great vibe throughout the evening. They made us some supper of tomato soup, and curry. After dinner, and a grossly annoying Indian band playing homemade music...we finished our stories and went to bed in our tents and thick blankets. It got quite cold that night so good thing I had my woolly socks!!
Due to the fact that my digestive system is AWESOME (it really works fast) I woke up in the morning having to run out of the tent, around the sand dunes and behind a tree. I didn't get a chance to dig a hole but it is amazing how the body works, not always with you!!! I covered it up and went back to the tent to breath.
We ate some breakfast of masala omellette and bread, then Mark and I headed on our way back to the guesthouse. We decided one day of riding camel is plenty!!
