‘Although I was not to recognise it at the time, the day I walked into Nefertiti Street in Luxor was a pivotal point in my life’.
The train rolls slowly into the platform, and there he is – the man who for over four decades I have thought of as tough and critical, a man who could impale me with a few carefully chosen words. As I alight and walk towards him, I wonder what the hell the next few days will bring’.
