Cruise ships of the desert

I'm a massive camel fan (great smelling, great sounding and wonderful temperament, who wouldn't be??), but couldn't bring myself to take a ride with the cameleers at Petra. Something about being constantly pestered makes me even less willing to try it out; I think I'd be far more inclined on my next trip to take a full day camel trek rather than try out the camel thing on a 500 metre strip of well-trodden strip of sand.

Marvellous looking beggers though.

Finish the sentence... you're a massive camel fan of what?

I have the same instinct at the vic markets every weekend. But there, it usually turns out that the people yelling the loudest actually DO have the cheapest food! And the stalls with nobody there have high prices and mediocre produce.

Different interpretations of a free market, I guess.
