3 Days in Pulau Macan - Part 2

This post is continuing from Part 1

At 9 am on the second day, they took us on a snorkelling trip. Of course, all three of us came on board. Miss Kiki's snorkel goggles didn't fit her well so we decided to take her regular swimming goggles instead. We hopped on a traditional boat and slowly went to the snorkelling spot. DH couldn't wait to get into the water so I told him to go ahead. Miss Kiki was still unsure about whether she was brave enough to go into the water or not, but with some convincing she went. Unfortunately DH already took off with the camera so we did not have a picture of her in the water. She dipped her face in and was super excited to see the fishes and blue starfish. Then she started to use me as a seahorse to pull her around to the places she wanted to see. On this trip DH spotted a cuttlefish. You can see the picture somewhere below.

After the snorkelling trip, we came back to the island. DH decided that he wanted to try the balancing board to get across to Pulau Macan Kecil. So Miss Kiki and I went on a row boat and one of the staff rowed us there. Phew!



After spending some time in Pulau Macan kecil, DH took Miss Kiki back to the bigger island on his balancing board. Check out Miss Kiki showing off on the board...










As for myself, originally I had planned to walk back to the bigger island, cause one can, but I chickened out a quarter of the way and turned around. I took the same row boat back with a group of people.

Nintendo Switch Sleeve Tutorial

Hi! I'm Kirana from woofkiki.blogspot.co.id . I am going to write an introduction for this blog post. We bought a Nintendo Switch in Japan.  I really liked it and played with it almost everyday. If you're wondering what a Nintendo Switch is, it is a video game where you can basically  "switch" everything. The joy-cons and even the game! You can also connect it to your TV. It would be nice to bring it around with you, but when you put it in your bag... Oh no! The screen scratched! So, this is a sleeve that will fix that. Let's get started!😊 Kirana Now the tutorial (by Kirana's mom)... 1. Make your pattern according to the picture below. It is basically a 6"x24" rectangle with a semi circle at one end. Note: this is not a printable pattern 1. Cut your outer fabric, lining, and batting(optional). In this tutorial, I used minky for lining and a pre-quilted fabric for the cover, so I didn't need extra batting. For batting, I recomm

Labuan Bajo 2023 Part 3 - 3 Days 2 Nights Diving Trip With Chakana Liveaboard

  Photo credit: Lukas Rissing @thestudypacker A live-aboard experience is one of the highlights of Labuan Bajo. It has been on my bucket list for a while but every time I tried to go, something just didn't work out.... until now! The opportunity arose to join an impressive-looking boat this year and the dates matched Miss Kiki's holiday perfectly, how could I not take this rare chance! With less than a month to prepare, we booked plane tickets, accommodations, and whatever equipment we thought we might need. So off we flew to Labuan Bajo with little preparation and a lot of faith. ;) You can read the first and second parts of the trip in my previous posts. After we checked out of our hotel on the third day, we went to the pier and hopped on to a dinghy that took us to Chakana Liveaboard, a 47-meter-long phinisi-style yacht that was going to be our accommodation for the next two nights. My heart raced as we approached the pretty boat and spotted a group of staff excitedly wavi

Labuan Bajo 2023 Part 2 - Leisure Day Trip

I booked a leisure day trip for our second day in Labuan Bajo via Traveloka . When I say leisure, I meant a non-diving trip. We have a live onboard trip booked for the 3rd to the 5th day but that one is a diving trip covering different places and adventures so we tried to cram the other must-visits of Komodo National Park in one day. For breakfast that morning, we had breakfast boxes that the resort had prepared for us by order. The tour was operated by East Cruise Komodo and it was an open trip consisting of thirty-something people. East Cruise Komodo picked us up at Sudamala Resort where we stayed at 5:30 am and brought us to the harbour. The re-registration process at the harbour took about half an hour and after we were assigned a boat, we boarded. On the boat, our tour leader collected what was supposed to be the entrance fee for the National Komodo Park. It was IDR 150k per person for locals and IDR 300k per person for foreigners. We never saw the tickets but later on, we foun
