My first camel safari in the desert

Gary, Ela and I signed up for a day and a half camel safari.

here are two of our three camels : Modia and Pepsi

:

First things first!

How do you climb on a camel?

It's a three-step program

Step 2 requires flexibily which, as you can see, I really have!

That's it, I'm ready to ride!

We wandered thru the desert all morning.

We stopped at noon for lunch. It's just too hot to ride anyway. I was really happy to stop because my legs were aching me like hell on the camel. our guides prepared us a nice 100% veg lunch (chapatti, goat milked tchai, potatoes...).

Then back on the camels again. It's so quiet out there. Got my MP3 player out , Manu Chao's album was a perfect soundtrack for the ride.

We spend the night in the desert. Woke up at 4 am , when the moon was down and just saw the sky like I had never ever seen it before. it just like a boy's roomceiling filled with glowing stickers. Reminded me of the "Petit Prince". You could just strech your arm and harvest them.

UNFORGETTABLE

After a camel ride the next morning, we went back to town to catch our night train to Udaipur. Zip Code? 007
