Keeping watch on the boat with no idea their destination is Port Said
Given bed space at Maida Camp - sharing four to a tent
with en-suite facilities (just a short sprint away)
Fresh drinking water on tap
Plenty of good friends
But also plent of full kit inspections
They soon amused themselves by climbing Gebel Maryan with a camera tilted to make it look more steep than it was!
One of their favorite tricks was to sit on the fountain at Fayid Olympia Pool - trying to drench everyone else
No matter what - they still remained the best of friends
