No trip to a beach town is complete without a surf trip! Everyone on the water was really friendly, and I got close to yet another seal. There was a decent reef break that got a bit too close to bare rock for comfort (If you don't know: a reef break is when waves will break over a reef that has rock on the bottom of the ocean floor instead of the usual sand). After surfing for a good three hours -and catching up on my tan- we headed to a great restaurant with a spectacular panoramic view of the ocean and massive dunes.
Camels might be some of the most dramatic creatures I've ever ridden. Whenever you mounted or dismounted, they would groan loud and long, kind of like an old man getting up in the morning. The morning before we left to go back to the north, my parents decided we would go on a last minute camel ride. And it was a bumpy experience! Camels have the same gait as horses, but their huge size makes every step feel like a jerky roller coaster that could use a breath mint. The rumors about camels having a lot of saliva is true. I didn't get spit on -sorry for those of you disappointed ;) - but others did.
