Camel Rides at Sealine Beach

Dad and I rode camels on the beach. It was more of a guide because we don't know the first thing about directing camels but it was still exhilarating. At first the camels were a little scary, grunting and showing their teeth. Camels are strange creatures, they fold their legs under themselves when down and then to get up they first straighten their back legs putting you at almost a 45degree angle making you feel as though you are going to fall off. Then you're up and it's like a riding a horse. At the end of the ride the men directing the camels told them to get down so we could get off. Mine was being stubborn and didn't want to get down. Now I can say that I rode a camel (an authentic camel ride, not the one from the zoo).
