Sat 5th: Breakfast with Judy and we say a sad farewell after a very busy few days in New York, thank you Judy for your wonderful hospitality, we really enjoyed it.

We chat with Mekhail, our Egyptian driver on the way back to La Guardia, explaining that it's better to calculate cost per mile rather than cost of gas, and he says that's the first time anyone had explained, he'd always thought it was so much cheaper to drive in the US.

The flight to Boston is memorable in that there are only eleven passengers and we get personal service from Ken & Devin the flight attendants, we have a good laugh. Ted is waiting to meet us at Boston, and we drive out to Cambridge, a charming town adjacent to Boston. It's great to meet up again and we sit for most of the afternoon swapping anecdotes and stories about our respective travels, and the state of our governments.

Ted and Marilyn comment that they have been waiting to repay us for the meal in Victoria Falls, and we don't comprehend, but remember that we had tried to hook up with them for a dinner cruise when we were there last year, but it didn't happen. We'd ended up with a boring Australian couple on a completely forgettable cruise on a dark Zambesi river. We have a quick tour round Cambridge which is famous for many things, but primarily that it hosts MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology), and Harvard.

The evening ends with a review of our respective photography exploits, and they are very complementary about our restoration and montage showcase.
