Lovely day, arrived at Suez about 4 in the afternoon. About 150 of us left by boat for Cairo, £7.10 fare. Passengers are not allowed to land. Left soon after for the Canal. A marvellous piece of work. Had game of bridge, lost 6° then stayed on deck until 12. Lovely moonlight night and very cold. Had supper in Mrs [L] Webb’s [age 65] cabin.
Pencil – Stayed at Alexandria Hotel in Cairo.Went for a ride out to the pyramids on camels, not a very pleasant trip.
