A Week in Melbourne - Part 5 The End

The 5th day was practically the last day we were in Melbourne, because our flight the day after was early in the morning. We wanted to go to the famous Hardware Societe for breakfast. When we got there, there were about 20 people waiting outside to be seated, and after someone finally got to us, we were told that it would be about 40 minutes wait. Well, I didn't want to wait so we moved on. Our next stop was the Manchester Press. There was also a lineup there but not as bad, so DH volunteered to wait in line and let me and Miss Kiki walk around. A little while after DH called and told me that they only had bagels there and I didn't really want bagels. So we walked around some more and ended up at Pop Restaurant and Bar on Hardware Ln. If you saw my first post of this series, you can see we actually took a picture in front of this restaurant on the first day.



The food was pretty good, but it took a VERY long time. We decided that Melbourne has super awesome bacon everywhere. 

After breakfast we took the tram to go to the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre. I got us tickets to see Swan Lake by St. Petersburg Theatre. I was so excited about it, but in the end the show was pretty disappointing. We had balcony seating, so it was very visible that the movements were not synchronized, and the leg works are just not clean. I really expected more from an Eastern European theatre company. :( The Don Quixote show I saw in Prague was exponentially better than this.

At least, it was a beautiful day with nice blue sky. We finally see the sun in Melbourne!

After Swan Lake, we still had time before our dinner get together with my friends. So DH and Miss Kiki went to this Munich bar while I went to check out the Factory Outlet. The factory outlet did not have a lot of interesting stores, and the prices were not that great. So I came out empty handed.









As mentioned before, we were meeting my friends for dinner at the Red Spice QV in the CBD. This was my friend I saw the day before at Andiamo and his wife and their son. Special mention here, the wife is an amazing cake decorator, you can see her work here. It was great to have finally meet them!

The restaurant was famous for their Pork Belly dish, so we had that, and several other dishes. They were all good, but the pork belly was my favourite.















Then we moved on to Movenpick ice cream for dessert.... 




The next morning we took a taxi to the Southern Cross Station and then the Skybus again to the airport. 



 Until next time, Melbourne!

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...

Spring in Egypt Part 9 - Luxor Temple

At the time when we arrived at Luxor temple it was already after dusk and it became a little difficult to take photos. I compensated by setting my camera ISO to 4000 to make tripod-less picture-taking possible even though the grains became more visible. Just like the previous nights, the moon still looked round to me. I wasn't sure which one of those moons was the actual full moon. We walked around the temple first with Michael for explanations about the temple. In the distance we were able to hear the adzan calling the people for prayer. Situated in the east bank, the construction of the temple was started by Amenhotep III, continued and finished by the famous King Tut and Horemheb, and then added on to by Rameses II and finally by Alexander the Great. Unlike the other temples we had previously visited, this temple is not dedicated to a single cult/god. Instead, it is used as a place to rejuvenate kingship. May of the kings were said to have been coronated at this temple. ...

Japan Winter Holiday 2017 Part 7 - Otaru Sakaimachi

On our second day in Otaru after we had breakfast and ice cream , we continued walking to Sakaimachi. This shopping street is one of the busiest in the city and is where a lot of Otaru attraction is located. In front of one of the stores there, we saw this cute dog wearing a Minion outfit. Of course Miss Kiki jumped and squealed and asked if she could pet it. We asked permission from the owner to take a picture with it. Along the street they have rock statues in the shape of famous characters like Anpanman and Mickey Mouse. With Anpanman It was a very nice day, we were able to walk around and had fun without feeling cold even though there were a lot of ice and snow. Check out the platforms they set up on the hill. We think that it's to prevent snow slides... Most of the buildings there were old style,,,  Many shops sell fresh seafood and they would cook it for you by order. As we walked past a souvenir shop, we saw a poster for these snowball make...
