We landed at about 1am UK time in Gatwick and began the long march through the terminal, feeling the chill air at about 15 degC outside. We bade Liz and Jenna farewell as they set off to find their car for the long drive back up to Scotland.
Louise and I found a Costa's for a very early breakfast, holding out till the three thirty train to London Bridge. We checked out hire cars – offices not open till 7am, and taxi - £200 to Cambridge! Before sticking to our plan.
At London Bridge, we caught a taxi to Liverpool Street station to catch a 5:40 strain to Stansted Airport, where after a 20 minute wait we caught the Stansted Express to Cambridge to arrive there at 6:40. Mercifully, there was a taxi to take us home where we crashed into bed.
We slept for nearly eight hours. I awoke to find that the Luxor Airport underheated food had gifted me with a mild stomach bug – at least the toilets were readily accessible now.
The gifts for the other family members were brought out and exchanged and the photos transferred to our laptops for future editing. Tired, we were back in bed and asleep early in the evening.
