Fleurette Nile Cruise 4 Star Nile Cruise Ship 
| "Dear Barbara, My wife and I would like to thank you and Colin for your help arranging our truly memorable Nile Cruise. As Colin told me on the telephone, our lower-deck cabin would prove to be fine and paying more for a higher deck would be a waste of money. We had a good mix of people on the Fleurette who seemd to enjoy themselves as much as us. You will know how good the food is and what a pleasure the staff are. Yours sincerely, Wing Commander John and Mrs. H. Wheeler
