Amelia Edwards travels from Alexandria up the Nile river in 1873.

'We have come from Alexandria; we have not dressed for dinner because, having just driven from the station ahead of our luggage we are but just in time to take our seats. Yes, of course we intend to go up the Nile - but never was a distant expedition entered upon with less premeditation.'
