Banyuwangi 2019 Part 4 - De Djawatan


After spending half a day at Pantai Pulau Merah, we moved on to our next stop at the Instagrammable spot of De Djawatan. As soon as our car entered the area we were taken aback by the majestic view of large trees with more plants growing on their branches. It could be a little eerie if it was a bit darker, but it was breathtaking regardless.

First, we walked following the walking path with several photo stops along the way. Miss Kiki was entrusted with my iPhone for picture taking and she was super excited about it.









There were horse carts that you could hire for a couple of rounds, and there were ATVs that you can hire for the same purpose. We decided to rent the ATVs for all of us. That was a lot of fun!




































We stayed there until sunset and the area got dark very quickly. We breezed out of there and we decided to have dinner at Ikan Bakar Pesona again. It didn't disappoint!

When we got back to our hotel, we got locked out of our room! Our card keys were fine and it turned out that the battery of the door lock was out. The technician had to come and replace the batteries and re-set the lock before we were able to get in. That took almost half an hour! Not impressed, Aston.....


My dad repeated many times about the famous durians in Banyuwangi. There is a village near Banyuwangi that grows red durians. Unfortunately, we couldn't get it in the city and we didn't have time to go to that village. Instead, our driver took out to the street where they sell other types of local durians. They were tiny! Only 5 of us went to eat durian (not including kids) and between the 5 of us we ate 4 fruits. It was so so, not bad but not great either.
















We spent the next morning by the pool, the kids were swimming happily. A little moth came and visited us on the sideline.


DH got a headache that morning and he got a special treatment... :D



We went to the airport early and finally it was time to fly home. It was a short and sweet trip and I can't wait to go on the next one!





Thanks for reading!

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...

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...
