April is a month full of mystery and adventure for us...firstly, I'm officially into my 2nd trimester. The first appointment with the new gynaecologist turned out to be great despite the long waiting time. She did a very detailed scan, measuring the size, heartbeat, length, age of the baby and etc. All the result turned out to be good... I feel so blessed and thankful to have come to this stage! God always do amazing things in His way...
Another big event is the vacation in Egypt. Initially, I was quite worried as there's always warning about going to Egypt - water, food, safety, especially since I'm expecting. But it turned out to be the most relaxing tour we had so far. That's the difference when you joined a guided tour with a private driver and a personal tour guide, being taken care of everything. It's just meant for the 3 of us. It's no doubt the most expensive trip we had so far but I think it's worth the price. DH enjoyed a lot as he doesn't need to drive around in the crazy traffic of Cairo.
Being able to visit the Pyramid is a dream come true for DH!
Matthew enjoys riding the camel with Daddy. It's a wonderful experience riding the camel in the desert! I would love to do so too but the guide said the ride might be too bumpy for me.
Taking the cruise on the River Nile is a very relaxing experience.

The food is not fantastic. We almost had the same kind of food everyday that we all agree having McDonald is a better choice!

The overnight Train ride to and fro Aswan and Luxor was worse than the turbulence in air. It took about 11 - 13 hrs and I can hardly sleep
Overall the trip was great. We had a few days of extremely hot weather 40 degree C/ 104 degree F. I almost got into heat exhaustion at the valley of the kings, having signs like nausea and dizzy and feeling breathless. Matthew and I had to stop after visiting only one tomb while Daddy and the guide continue with the rest. It was even too hot for the guide but Thank God, we survived!
Here are the rest of the photos if anyone is interested!
