Khaled. Boatman. The Felucca , the Crocodile, what ever, always on call with the mobile.
"Arhhhhhhh Good morning Wazza I have seen you on the Television" "Not at all . It was you Khaled that I saw on the Television".
We came close to disaster when the Water Police all rubber ducked and AK 47-ed headed off the Crocodile with us on board during the Presidents curfew. He had Codoleezza Rice with him , people were very tense. Wasn't game to photograph the river policeman in full voice in case we got confiscated. We had chai later with Khaleds Mum and sisters. It does not get any better than this, of that I am certain.
