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 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...

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. ...
