When he got to Warsaw, Herbert had a difficult time finding this old man, having missed seeing his twin. Searching high and low, he finally spotted a beggar who fitted the description given him by Baba. As Baba had instructed, Herbert handed him a few coins, and left enough money with someone else to purchase him a new suit.
Baba was to travel by ship on the 20th from Venice to Alexandria, Egypt, with Kaka and Chanji. Seeing Baba board the Ausonia at 4:00 P.M., his lovers wept miserably at his departure. The moment the ship sailed away, Baba's eyes too filled with tears. Kaka and Chanji had never seen Baba so sad over a departure. His English lovers sent a cable to him on board ship, and Baba pressed it to his lips and eyes, wetting it with his tears. Baba's eyes remained moist until he retired that night at ten. As if in agony, Baba spent a restless and sleepless night, and Kaka and Chanji wondered why he should suffer so. Age too wondered the same. "What sort of love could cause the Master of Bliss, who is above all worldly happiness and misery, to be so restless? How great that love must be!"
For the next three days, Baba showed no interest in meeting anyone or going for a walk around the ship. He constantly remembered each one of those left behind and their endearing ways.
He spelled out on the board: "Kimco, my heart. How they all love me!"
And he dictated this short rhyme to be sent to them:
Kimco, my heart, now as ever and ever as now. How I love you! How I miss you! Just wait four months, When I come and kiss you!
The ship docked at Alexandria at 5:00 P.M. on 23 August. Baba, Kaka and Chanji went directly to the station and took the train to Cairo. They arrived at 10:30 P.M. and stayed at the Luna Park Hotel.
On Wednesday, 24 August 1932, Baba rode a donkey to the pyramids and Sphinx in Gizeh, and also visited the local zoo.
In Cairo, Baba revealed to Kaka and Chanji, "The Coptic Church contains a cave where Mary and Joseph stayed after fleeing Herod. The reason I came to Egypt is to visit this church."
Led by Baba, they visited the Coptic Church the next day. Baba's face was radiant with joy as he walked through the church, as if he were reliving his memories as Jesus.
"This is my dear old place," he recalled and indicated that Jesus had also come and stayed here with his apostles.
