How to straddle a camel

We celebrated our second wedding anniversary with a trip to Al Maha. With spectacularly bad timing, who should be bump into but . . . Andrew’s ex-girlfriend. Even more ironically (for her) she was on honeymoon with her recently acquired husband.

Well, you always want to be looking your best for such an occasion - ie bumping into your husband’s Ex on your wedding anniversary. Unfortunately, I was just about to straddle a camel, which - for those who have never attempted to balance on a camel hump - is a difficult maneuver to execute gracefully.

At least Jill was also about to straddle a camel, so it wasn’t as bad as it could have been.

You may ask yourself with some justification: why? Well, in the course of several years in the Middle East I have never been coaxed onto a camel. And really it’s a mandatory photo for the album, isn’t it? - so we decided to give it a go
