Riding the Camels



One of the single sisters really wanted to go ride the camels at Nelson Bay, which is about a three-hour drive north of here, so off we went, early Friday morning. It took a little courage to get on the camel, but it wasn't as difficult as expected. They just knelt down, we hopped on and then they raised up. It was easy. The camels have really, really long legs. We went out across the sand dunes and then down to the beach and our leader, "Rod" took us out into the water a ways. It was really fun. One little boy in our group was about 8 years old and was scared spitless. He screamed his head off for about the first 10 minutes, but then he stopped, so we were all happy. My camel's name was Auzzie. She had a bolt imbedded in the top of her nose. You can see it if you look close at the picture.
