The Captain's Cabin is very airy and chilled.  The gentleman responsible for steering the boat and ensuring we don't hit any other cruise liners on the Nile is perched cross-legged on a high chair. He doesn't speak much English, but is very polite and friendly to us.

Mum and I with Sam.

A second before this pic was taken, he pulled me in close to him

...which explains why it looks like I'm very cuddled up there!
