.... the title has probably left you all very intrigued so I will waste no time in enlightening you. Tim and I embarked upon a 1.5 hour sunset camel ride along the famous Cable Beach in Broome.
We'd read about the camel rides in Broome and decided this would be a must whilst in Broome. Who could turn down the opportunity to ride on a camel and watch sunset. We definitely couldn't.
The experience was absolutely incredible. We chose to go with a company called Broome Camel Safari's run by Alison who has had over 20 years experience of working with camels. You couldn't get much better than that. And so we arrived at Cable Beach to be greeted by her long line of camels and her very helpful and friendly staff. We were then allocated our camel for the ride.
He looked very placid and gentle and I knew instantly that we'd have a good trip. Before I knew it we were up, up and away. We were seeing the world from a whole different level. I'd seen camels before but never appreciated how tall they actually are.
We rode along the beach being carefully led by Alison, and chatted to our fellow riders as well as the staff. We had our photos taken along the way which was a lovely touch by the staff who seemed to run around like headless chickens all the time.
I said to Tim at one point "I hope they don't run off with our cameras!!" But fear not, after a few shots the cameras where returned safely to us. With the memories captured we sat back and relaxed and enjoyed the very romantic sunset camel ride.
It was interrupted at various points by the sight of the camels pooing and peeing but who can blame them?!?!?!It was over far too quickly and we were soon being lowered back down to Earth. Our final task before we headed off was to feed our camel with a well earned carrot.
What an adventure and one we will both never forget.....
