After my bout of malaria, it took me quite a long time to recover. As I wasn't doing very much work during this time, we thought it might be good to take a break and use the time for our annual holiday. Actually we didn't get one at all last year and we were both feeling the strain of this.
We were hoping to go to Malaysia as we had tickets for Singapore and should have gone to Indonesia during this time. However for various reasons this didn't work out.
On a Wednesday evening we decided to go to Egypt and on the Saturday afterwards we were on our way!
We had a week on the beach at the Red Sea and another week cruising on the River Nile looking at some of the graves and temples of the old Pharaohs. This was very interesting.
The Bible reports that God sent a strong East Wind across the Rea Sea to open it up for the Israelites to cross. Well, this strong East Wind is still there. The sun was shining and the sky was blue. The sea was inviting. It was a really nice colour... turquoise and dark blue and light blue, but it was windy.
The time was very refreshing and now I feel that I am back on my feet and have started working as normal during this week.
