Spring in Egypt Part 12 - Hurghada

Our 5-hour long bus ride from Karnak Temple took us to Hurghada by the Red Sea. Our tour with Expat Explore included a 2-night stay at the all-inclusive Three Corners Sunny Beach Resort in Hurghada. The check-in process was quite quick considering the number of people they needed to accommodate, we each got our bracelets and were shown into our room. Our room was at one of the farthest building from the lobby but was closer to the beach. It was already dark and it was cold. I put on my jacket and scarf when we walked to our room and back to the main building for dinner. 

The resort's main restaurant offered free flow wine and beer (not the best tasting ones, unfortunately), and a large variety of food. We did find however, that the food was not as high quality as the ones on the cruise. But then again, most people were happier at the resort because of the variety. 

Our room was spacious and clean. We were happy with it. It's nothing fancy but it was more than enough for us.




In the morning we had breakfast and then it was free time for the rest of the day. Miss Kiki had fun at the pool slides, though at one point she went on the twisty slide and it flipped her and gave her a little bruise on the back. I was just glad that she was okay.  DH and I took turns watching her and when I was free I took the camera and had some fun with it together with my friend. So here we go.... pictures of.... mostly ME. Lol....
































We spent a lot of time on the deck taking pictures and some people were amused by us. (I hope no one got annoyed!) One friendly passer-by decided that he should be in one of the pictures too :D



































We then had lunch, and in the afternoon we had tea-time snack, and just walked around the complex before dinner. It felt like we were eating all day!












At dinner, they had a flat bread station that made us very excited! We love flat breads, and to have them fresh from the oven was quite special.



We went to bed pretty early and we checked out of the resort right after breakfast in the morning. Please stay tuned 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!😊 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...

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. ...

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...
