After a lazy morning we were taken to the airport for our flight back to London Heathrow. We stayed in a hotel near the airport having travelled over 10,000 km by air for the once in a lifetime opportunity to sail 600 miles on the navigable section of the River Nile. This was so memorable, as for more than a decade this has been impossible and as we progressed northwards from Aswan word was out that we were passing and it seemed like whole villages were out to greet us.
