I uploaded an updated version of this contribution, because i crunched the code down to 116 bytes.
The new files are indicated by appending a "-2" to the filename.
Hope, you can accept this as a valid strategy. ;-)
Just imagine, i took out my 126 bytes version from before out of the compo to stay in the two-contributions-per-person-limit.
The shower code became a mess. However, i'm not willing to put more work into this as the shower code is not part of the rulez.

Nice one! I think you may save 2 bytes:
1) CLI is not needed (Kernal performs it).
2) I think you can replace
lda #$07
sta $02
loop:
ldy $02
...
dec $02
bpl loop

with
ldy #$07
loop:
sty $02
...
ldy $02
dey
bpl loop

The code to modify the charset and return to basic has a size of 126 bytes. However, neither the register switching for multicolor nor the tile setup for the 2x2 chars fitted into the 128 bytes limit.
Therefore i provided two different version. One without shower (126 bytes) and one with shower (224 bytes). The shower code is not optimized, though.
The code is quite different from the one of the camels working in a block oriented manner and progressing backwards through the rom charset.
