Day 1
In the morning we bought food for the camels and after lunch it was time to go to them. Ahmed had borrowed a camel, Bin Zahra, from a friend so that I could ride on Bourak and go with them.
Ahmed showed Mike how to put on the saddle, first clean the fur, then put on some blankets before the saddle is laid on top. He also showed how to put the rope in the nose ring, the rope is very important since you steer with it.
When Lahjal, Bourak and Bin Zahra were ready we sat up in the saddles and started the first day of training.
When we came back Amor had prepared the food for the camels and we took them to the place where they are staying to feed them.
It’s been a great day!
