Moluccas Holiday March 2018 Part 3 -Ora to Masohi

It was our last morning in Ora Beach Resort and the weather was finally friendly! We were able to see the turquoise blue water and the corals inside properly with slight ripples on the surface. In the far distance we were able to see the mountains, the real topography of Seram Island. We had time for breakfast and some pictures before we had to leave the resort by boat.

Our 10 minute boat ride took us to Saleman Village where our rented car and driver already waited. We then continued our journey to Masohi by car. Up the mountain... down the mountain....

In Masohi, we stopped for lunch in a small warung. Our driver chose a fresh fish for us, grilled and served with sambal colo-colo. On the table they served basil leaves and bananas that you can eat for free. It was very yummy!

We had some time before our scheduled fast boat, so we went over to the Masohi Marina nearby. Took some pictures, but we decided that it was too hot there...

Our driver suggested to go uphill and visit a new park, so we did just that. It was quite fun! It cost 9,000 IDR per person if I remember correctly. Here are some pictures from the park.

From there we were dropped off at the pier to take our fast boat back to Ambon...

Stay tuned for our next post! Ambon also has a lot to offer...

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...
