All good and easy to follow. I guess I could say it was an awesome exhibition though. It is so clever how it was presented. Quite exciting for a person who hasn't visited the country.

The VR show was absolutely out of this world! and I have told a lot of people about it. The purchase of tickets was somewhat stressful. It will come as no surprise to tell you thata my generation at 70+ years doesn't easily handle or cope with demands of latest technology and requirements associated with apps I'm afraid !! Also we booked a specific time and admissions were running 20 mins late,

It seemed so real, just like being there. I have been to the Valley of the Kings, now I have been to the Pyramids! My 4 Grandchildren loved it too aged 10 to 15.
