Banyuwangi 2019 Part 3 - Pantai Pulau Merah

For the day after we went to Menjangan Island we had planned to go to Wedi Ireng beach. We drove for 2 hours to get to a beach on the south side of Java island. The southern coast of Java island is generally more wavy than the other sides, as this is the side facing the Indian Ocean.

When we arrived at the beach where we were supposed to take small fisherman boats to get to Wedi Ireng beach, the wind picked up and it started raining. We waited for a while for the rain to subside, but the locals said it wasn't a good idea to go so we listened to them. Instead, we drove to Pantai Pulau Merah (Red Island Beach) and settled there for a while.

The Red Island beach was busy but not overly crowded. We were able to rent two umbrellas with loungers and shared them amongst us. We ordered fresh coconuts and some cup noodles. Look who was super excited to have a cup!

The kids had a lot of fun playing in the sand. The waves were quite strong so I made sure to tell Miss Kiki to stay away from the water. The sand was very fine and it stretched out really long. DH had his own fun jumping in the waves, it scared me a bit but he's not stupid so I just had to have faith.

We stayed there for about 3 hours. Just before we left, Miss Kiki picked up a tiny little crab and asked me to take a picture of it. She released the poor thing afterwards.

And that was our half day on the beach!

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
