While with our camel herding South Gobi family we tried camel riding. After mounting up, the older two decided pretty quickly it was not for them so M.C, Willow and I went off for a few hours. That was plenty – I walked like John Wayne for a day and sitting on our plastic camp stools was less than excellent. After young Willow regaled her sisters about the joys of camel riding They were determined to give it a go. So a few days later, they joined our new U.K friends, Bryan and Emily for a tour to the dunes and back. My pelvis took the cowards way out and M.C and I stayed at camp. Nothing could stop the intrepid Willow, so she joined Kaia on a camel. Skye already had a bad horse experience the week earlier so our guide Pujee started with her…but by the time they returned Skye rode home triumphantly alone! Oh yeah – always make sure everyone rides a camel so that everyone smells like camel…’cause they stink!
