Egypt

EGYPT
Egyptian Pyramids & Sphinx

In front of Sphinx
This transcontinental country spanning the northeast corner of Africa and southwest corner of Asia, making it Afro-Asiatic country via a land bridge formed by Sinai Peninsula. Cairo is the capital and largest city of Egypt.

We were so excited to go to Egypt to see the  Pyramids and the Egyptian Museum. It was quite hot that day but we really enjoyed seeing all of this. Had a boat trip across the Nile which was wonderful. However, travelling on the roads of egypt was not pleasant because of  traffic, littering and poor quality of roads.

ENGLAND, FRANCE, BELGIUM AND HOLLAND
Having ice blocks in front of Eiffel Tower 


After all the countries in Southeast Asia it was time to see some of Europe. Europe is one of the worlds seven continents and second smallest continent by surface area. 

We went to London, Oxford, Leads, Windsor Castle, and Stone on a Trent. Then we took the train to France (Paris) where we saw the amazing Eiffel Tower and had the city view from the top. Next we went to see the Louvre museum which was huge and is home to the well-known Mona Lisa.
We spend half day in Belgium (Brussels) where we saw the beautiful and historical buildings and of course did some shopping too.The next stop was Holland.  
Overall my impression of europe was great with scenic landscapes and classical buildings.

Singapore

SINGAPORE


Singapore is a sovereign city state and island country in Southeast Asia. Singapore is one of the world's major commercial hubs with five of the busiest ports.

Kids really enjoyed going to Universal Studios and touring the city. On a trip to Singapore I also wanted to see Little India. It was a complete package of colour, food and shopping. We all thoroughly enjoyed late nights out.

Malaysia


  

MALAYSIA


Twin Towers
Malaysia is a federal constitutional monarchy in Southeast Asia.

It consists of thirteen states and three federal territories. Malaysia shares land and maritime border with Thailand, Singapore, Vietnam and Indonesia. Kuala Lumpur is the capital city.
We took the kids to an indoor theme park located in a shopping mall. Had a great tour of the city to see the twin towers and other historical buildings. We even all dressed up like a Royal family which was amazing. One day we hired a car and went to Penang, travelling by great wide roads and beautiful views. We all had such a great time in Malaysia.

Indonesia is a sovereign state in Southeast Asia and Oceania. Indonesia is an archipelago comprising of 13,466 Islands. Jakarta is the capital city.

We loved going to Bali, Yogyakarta, Punchuk,  Lombok and Bundung. It was great to know about people of Indonesia. Traffic in Indonesia is quite bad, you can be stuck in it for hours, but the good thing is almost everyone has drivers so you don't have to worry about maneuvering the roads yourself.
