What do you do for fun during the holidays if you live on the edge of the Sahara desert? Camel riding and hippo spotting of course!!!
The camel ride was slow and rather bumpy, but lots of fun. The only time I thought I might fall off was when the camel was kneeling down to let me off.
We got off the the camels at a village called "Boubon", where market day was in full swing...
This grain is "millet", the most widely grown crop here.
After a good look at all that was on offer in the market - animals and fish (dead and alive), pottery, clothing, vegetables, herbs and spices and much more - we adopted a different mode of transport for our return journey...
River Transportation
Mango Trees
Water Lillies
Hippos!!!
