Dieng Plateau 2024

 


The school holiday finally arrived, we and our travelling pants besties planned a trip to the ā€œLand Above the Clouds,ā€ Dieng Plateau. Our 5 families drove in 5 cars to the pet-friendly cabin we rented for 3 nights. The drive itself took about 7-8 hours, with short stops in rest areas. Be careful when you drive to Dieng following Google Maps, because Google Maps will bring you via the fastest route but not necessarily the safest/best route. Check with your accommodation provider for the recommended route to get there.





When we arrived at the cabin, it was already close to sunset. It was foggy, and we were all tired from the drive. The very next morning after breakfast, we all drove to Arjuna Temple. Our pooches were allowed in the garden area, but were not allowed inside the gate of the temple area. So I stayed behind with the pooches and let everyone else go inside. It didnā€™t take long for them to explore, they soon came out and we moved on.






The next stop was lunch! We went to Kedai Ongklok. The doggos waited patiently in the car while we had our meal.

After lunch, even though we had planned to see a few sights, it started raining. So we got split up, DH and Miss Kiki went to Telaga Warna.

We then came back to our cabin. The rain had stopped but it was still misty and foggy. It was a pretty sight!









The following day was the highlight of our trip, this is something that most tourists do in Dieng: Dieng Jeep Tour! I booked the tour via Ady from Jeep Atas Awan, +6281391053340.

We were picked up at our cabins before the sun and the chickens woke up, and we went in Jeeps to one of the sunrise spots. When we arrived, the hill was already pretty packed with tourists but we were able to enter and it was a beautiful sunrise regardless.








Our next stop after sunrise was a field where they usually hold the Dieng Culture Festival. At the time when we were there it was an empty field of grass, frosted from the chill of the night. We parked the Jeeps and took some pictures before moving on.









We havenā€™t had our breakfast yet, so we went back to our cabin to fuel up and then we continued our Jeep adventure. We visited a waterfall, drove through a large, hilly farm area dubbed Swiss van Java, climbed up a viewing platform at Batu Ratapan Angin, drove through a tea plantation, and stopped at a few other places. It got too hot closer to midday so we wrapped up and headed back to the cabin. From our 3 furbabies, I think only Yuki enjoyed the Jeep ride. The other two still enjoyed the stops and walks though, so it was still worth it to take them.














Time to go home!

And that concludes our trip to Dieng Plateau, please look forward to 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!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 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. ...
