Our walk in the desert was always accompanied by a small caravan of camels. In reality we used dromedary, which are a smaller race in respect to those that travel with the salt caravan and are more famous. They are an important presence because they help us carry our backpacks when they become heavy and they become a means of transportation for those who become tired or simply desire to enjoy the scenery of the desert from up high. In particular, this time with us there was a pregnant female, ready to give birth. Obviously no one wanted to mount her and she seemed to understand our worry. She was the most cuddly and would let us rub our hand on her belly, where we could feel small movements. They explained to us that when the camels get close to the moment of giving birth, they cry: and on the last day of walking she had tears in her eyes. Have the calves been born? Probably they have. Who knows if next time there will also be the calf together with his mother to accompany us!
