Spring in Egypt Part 8 - Fun on the way to Luxor and Esna Water Lock

Upon everyone's return from Edfu Temple to the cruise ship we set sail towards Luxor. The journey was a few hours long and we were getting tired of being on the ship. I sprayed my hair with Doterra to get rid of the dust and smoke smell from Edfu and spent our afternoon on board with chatting and finally shamelessly taking pictures and having my pictures taken. Yes, we were THAT bored. Poor DH had gotten a pretty bad allergic reaction after the Edfu Temple so he spent his afternoon resting with a fever.












Somewhere along the way we heard people shouting from down below. And suddenly goods got flung onto the deck. It turned out that there were peddlers trying to sell their goods to the cruise passengers. They were souvenirs like towels and tablecloth with Egyptian pictures on them.  That was quite the sight!
































































Before we reached Luxor we stopped briefly in Esna water lock where our ship was lowered and passed through. Miss Kiki got lucky afterwards, she got invited to see the ship control room by the ship captain. She was very excited to get the chance to press the button to sound the horn!

























Close to sunset we finally arrived at Luxor. We got off the ship and hopped on to a tour bus to go to Luxor Temple. DH was not well enough to go out so the poor guy stayed behind.






For story and photos of Luxor temple, please wait for the next post!

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!šŸ˜Š 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...

Japan Trip June 2016 - Part 9 - Osaka

It was a super hot and bright morning and we were all packed and ready to ride the train to Osaka. We had no excuse to take a taxi so we walked to Kyoto Station... It was a rather short ride considering we moved cities, it was still around noon when we arrived at Osaka Station. The AirBnb property I had booked looked close to the station on the map, but it was further than expected. We were so sweaty by the time we got there, mostly because of our backpacks and our suitcases! I was very impressed Miss Kiki carried her backpack without complaints even though it was pretty stuffed by then. Taken from Osaka Station We had to change our wet and sticky clothes upon arrival, and after a bit of rest we decided to head out. First to Tenjimbashisuji Shopping Street listed on a tourist guide just over 1 km away. It was so hot and sunny I regretted not taking a hat for any of us. I was lucky I hadn't forgotten to bring my sunglasses. When we got there, we real...
