Camel riding agony

Having thought nothing could be worse than the red hot van, I was wrong. A 90 minute camel ride across the desert to our camp for the night. I didn't know my legs could be so sore but eventually we made it and I was lifted off to recover. A great experience to look back on

He looked OK
