When I posted the Lifeguards on Duty photo yesterday Diana @ludwigsdiana wanted to know where the camels were, so I knew I had to include this photo of them.
Just as we were going into the cafe for lunch at Birubi after our walk I spotted the camels in the distance and had to take their picture. I can't go to Birubi without including the camels can I.
I was sitting on a big sandhill on the edge of the Sahara once - nothing but sand hills as far as the eye could see. THEN along comes a string of tourist camels - totally changed the view! Anyway, your photo reminded me of this and it was nice to see it. They are terrible things to ride, but I suspect if the opportunity came up on the beach I'd be on one!
I was listening to Flanders and Swann in my car the other day. Swann does a translation of a Russian song that amounts to a bunch of camels in the desert that appear one by one and then move one by one. It's quite funny. I thought of that straight away when I saw this today! I like your camel shots.
@haskar@rensala@illinilass@susiemc@gardenfolk@marshwader@grammyn Thanks. I do love the camels at Birubi Beach. Not a comfortable ride though, I have ridden on them with my grandsons a few times. They also do a sunset ride over the dunes, and I may do that one day. I really will feel like Lawrence of Arabia riding over the dunes on the one-hour ride. I suspect I will have a sore rear end by the end of it though.
Thanks for putting this shot on the TT.
@maggiemae They are dromedary camels so only have one hump. The people sit either side of the hump.
@ludwigsdiana You will have to come to Oz and I will show them to you.
@jeneurell Seeing them on the Sahara must have been amazing. That is something you never forget.
I have ridden on the camels a couple of times with my grandchildren and it isn't exactly comfortable.
@casablanca Flanders and Swann and the camels is funny.
@kjarn @pusspup You will have to pay a visit to the bay.
Thanks for putting this shot on the TT.
