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...

Motykas in Asia 2016 Part 7 - West Java

One day after we arrived in Jakarta from Phuket, we went on a road trip to Bandung, West Java. We were on a roll! Hahaha. Our first destination was the White Crater, a beautiful place located in Ciwidey, outside Bandung. We left our home at around 7 am and arrived at the crater at almost noon. It was a loooong drive. Nonetheless, the view was breathtaking. It was a bit chilly up there, even the Winnipegers pulled out their jackets. :D The crater was pale green with strong sulphur smell, they recommend a maximum of 15 minutes at the bottom. Around the crater were serene looking tree barks with little or no leaves. During a certain time of the day, there would usually be fog coming down over the crater but we didn't get to see it. We spent about an hour at the crater and we moved on to the Rancabali Tea Plantation about 3 km away for some pictures. Miss Kiki was so...

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. ...
