We had a nights travelling by train from our camp in Egypt to the boat &amp: came in open trucks &amp: it wasint too warm either I can tell you. Then we had six days on the boat. After that three days & nights in the train here. We came practically right across France I thoroughly enjoyed the trip I can tell you. It was pretty cold at night but the days were nice &amp: warm.We dident see much
