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...

Labuan Bajo 2023 Part 3 - 3 Days 2 Nights Diving Trip With Chakana Liveaboard

  Photo credit: Lukas Rissing @thestudypacker A live-aboard experience is one of the highlights of Labuan Bajo. It has been on my bucket list for a while but every time I tried to go, something just didn't work out.... until now! The opportunity arose to join an impressive-looking boat this year and the dates matched Miss Kiki's holiday perfectly, how could I not take this rare chance! With less than a month to prepare, we booked plane tickets, accommodations, and whatever equipment we thought we might need. So off we flew to Labuan Bajo with little preparation and a lot of faith. ;) You can read the first and second parts of the trip in my previous posts. After we checked out of our hotel on the third day, we went to the pier and hopped on to a dinghy that took us to Chakana Liveaboard, a 47-meter-long phinisi-style yacht that was going to be our accommodation for the next two nights. My heart raced as we approached the pretty boat and spotted a group of staff excitedly wavi...

World of Ghibli Exhibition Jakarta 2017

A few months back I received an email about World of Ghibli exhibition in Jakarta. My skeptical brain immediately thought, "Aah, how good could it be... I've visited the museum in Mitaka   and it's probably not going to be any better." Fast forward to August, a few of my Japan loving friends mentioned that rumours said that the displays are very good, made by Indonesians in cooperations with Ghibli representatives from Japan. In fact, so good that the Japanese company plans to take the displays and give them a home in Japan. Well hearing this from several different people definitely piqued my interest and I decided to check it out. It turned out that Miss Kiki and DH also wanted to go so I bought tickets from Traveloka  because they had a sale.  In the morning of our visit day, I asked Miss Kiki if she wanted to dress up as Kiki when she goes and she excitedly said yes. I made her a red bow headband with Cotton and Steel's Supreme Solid in Bandana  ...
