Cairo - camel riding in the desert

"I was in Egypt so I had to take a camel
They are so big and ugly and scary
I was a real baby and made this little boy go with me everywhere
They are so high off the ground and the one behind me kept trying to eat my pants
so I had one leg straight out in front of me
There was no way I was going faster than a walk
but a few of the group got their camels up to a gallop
The little boy told me that my camel’s name was Yusef
- didn’t make me feel any closer to him!!
We got some great views of the pyramids and the people on the horses
had a great time galloping up and down the desert sand dunes
It was a great way to finish the tour"

Here they are - Tanya and Yusef
