Donkey ride
This must be how to ride on a donkey .I can't see myself riding a donkey this way .
This photo was taken on a separate occasion .
I probably said this in my old posts . But some flashbacks came to mind when I saw this photo in my archives.
It gave me cold shivers ,to remember my donkey experience
I fell off a donkey on our time in Egypt and could have been badly injured . It wasn't meant to be donkey ride ,it was horse riding to begin with . Our guides were on donkeys . It was my hubby's idea to try a donkey ride and he did have a go .He seem to be doing well and enjoying his ride on a donkey . So it made me decide to exchange with my guide .He was adamant to exchange with me ,but eventually I was able to persuade him . He had my horse , I was on his donkey . It went well for maybe 200 meters ,then the donkey begun to strut .I followed the guide's instructions,or did I followed it well - sure I did :) ,but the donkey just suddenly went crazy and run as fast as it could ,it's like running for life with me on its back on the edges of the dessert. I could hardly cling on the donkey running in such a pace , it was impossible to stop it . You realized the donkey had it's own mind . It's not like machine you can switch it off . It was very frightening the moment I realized I can't control it anymore .The moment I saw the ground with some rocks ,it wasn't pure sand ,and of the realization I gonna fall anytime soon, that added to the gripping fear factor . I just slipped off ---- then bang !
.I could have fall and bashed myself into one big rock .Lucky that time ,I was also carrying a fully packed ruck sack that serve well cushioning my back on impact . But it didn't leave me without cuts and bruises .
Donkey ride - never again !
First impression can be lasting 8- /
