Greece Summer 2025 - Part 8 Galaxidi and Delphi

Galaxidi. A tiny port town that smells like the sea with narrow alleys that test your driving skills. We stopped here for 2 nights because I decided that it made a good base for our day trip to Delphi. It wasn't peak season yet so even though there were many visitors in town, it wasn't super crowded. A lot of the visitors actually came by boat. There were several restaurants on the main road right by the water, and one of them turned out to be one of our favourite restaurants in Greece! The restaurant was called Skeletovrachos.

From Galaxidi, we did a day-trip to Delphi where they have a famous ancient site. This would be our first ancient-site visit in Greece. I was pretty excited to see the site because Greece is very famous for their ancient sites. However, aside from the museum artifacts, there weren't a lot to see. The heat didn't help either. Not that I'm saying that it's not impressive, but after seeing the ancient sites in Egypt in 2018, the ones in Greece just seemed less impressive.

One thing to note is that the entrance ticket to the ancient sites are not cheap, especially for us coming from Southeast Asia. However, Miss Kiki was able to enter the site for free because she was under 17.

By the time we finished with the ancient site and museum, it was lunch time. We had lunch at a restaurant in Delphi called Taverna Vakhos. They had a patio with a view, and an extensive menu. We ordered food different from our usual Greek food menu, and they were all delicious!

After lunch, we had a bee and olive oil tour booked and that is for another post. Ciao!

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...
