Camels on the beach

Salalah, Oman
Saturday, December 22, 2012


We arrived in Salalah late this afternoon and made a bee-line to the pool from our "chalet" at the resort where we are staying. To A's delight, Frank suddenly cried out "Camels!" Now, about a week ago I managed to get through most of Lawrence of Arabia which does indeed include a "camel on the beach" scene, but I had assumed that scene was a bit of artistic license. But, actually, here was a great long line of them. Frank suggested a video (below) but, alas, the video does not include the waft of "eau de camel" which accompanied these handsome fellows on parade.
