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...

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...

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...
