Wondering what he might do with an attractive camel he meets on a Mediterranean beach while walking 39-kilometers from Sidi Bou Said towards Bizerte, Tunisia.
The Idiot, who met this sweet camel, halfway through a sandy 39-kilometer MedTrekking day, thinks he could buy, rent, borrow, steal or hire the darling dromedary as his MedTrekking companion and aide-de-camp in Tunisia.
Instead, being true to his feet and his quest, he simply chats with his new BFF for a few minutes before walking another mile for a camel (while recalling the 1949 “I’d walk a mile for a Camel” cigarette advertisement).
