Interesting. The camels look so great decked out in their colorful blankets. Haha, hump day ;p Your famous Niki :) How nice to have dinner in the locals home. What a special experience! Those baby crocodiles...so cool. Hope it didn't poop in your hair ;p Everyone seemed so kind and welcoming.

      Those kids on the boat while adorable were singing tunes we know as part of their marketing ploy. On some level sad that kids are paddling out to boats singing and begging but at the same time they are being industrious and working, plus its adorable! Hump day would be a Doug edit 😉😉. Luckily the Croc was on empty when he was hanging out in her hair.
