...So why waste daylight?We left our hotel at 4:30 AM and headed for the camel stables. By 5:00 AM we were in Giza's desert, each on our own camel, with a little sixteen-year-old kid as our guide. Sixteen-year-olds are great guides because they let you control your own camel when it's your first camelback experience and you're clearly not qualified. So that's highly recommended. Oh, and gentlemen: wear a protective cup.
We watched the desert sunrise illuminate the Giza pyramids while our camels made gurgling and smacking sounds, which was in fact partial regurgitation followed by chewing said vomit. One of us found this repulsive - the other one of us captured it on digital media.We made it back to our hotel just in time to begin our full-day itinerary.

i love the photo of sara on the camel.
You probably won't believe this, but I've also ridden a camel. Turns out there are 300,000 camels in australia. What I found particularly gross was the skin bladder...a large hanging thing that will come out of the camel's mouth if properly provoked.
