Sea Camels, Suakin

I'd never really thought of camels swimming...I'd always pictured them in the desert about as far from water as possible, but Suakin proved this to be wrong. Crossing the causeway from the island to the mainland, we took a walk along the beach past some ruined buildings and fishermen's boats, and came across a group of camels lounging in the shallows. It is quite a funny thing to see these awkward animals rolling around in the sea, and one them just sat down with the sea covering everything but his hump and his head...you might be fooled into thinking that Suakin has a monster to rival that of Loch Ness!
