Today the social club here at the hospital took a bus load of us girls to the local camel souq.
I think we were more of an attraction than the camels!!!
Cute little camel
This camel is being restrained - mmm by the mouth....as he gets shaved.
Notice my clenched fist - I am so worried that he is going to kick me or bite me...
A bowl of frothy "fresh" camel milk...
Still can't believe that I drunk it - it tasted like watered down frothy milk, so not as bad as I thought it would be. We had been told when we first started here not to drink fresh camel milk as it can make u really sick - so we are all waiting for the sickness to come on!!!
We only had a small mouthful.
Swallow it girl..... yes I did...
Full of men and camels
Cute fluffy baby
This poor camel has obviously been bought by someone and he is being loaded up onto a truck - hence his legs being tied up - so cruel.
Getting ready to hoist him up.
Up he goes
Feeding time
Some cute little boys
But not so cute when they beat the camels with their sticks
Does my bum look big???
Camel accessories for sale
Me holding on for dear life
Not quite comfortable being up this close to a camel with teeth that look like they could take a huge chunk out of you.
As I had my photo taken with this man - he brushed his elbow across my boob - dirty bugger.
At least I did not get a helping hand onto the camel by my boob (like my friend Teri)
He grabbed her boob and said ok up you go!!!
Gotta laugh these poor men probably don't get to see women all that often.
Kiss me....
Maria, Teri and me
And off they go .....
