ICIP-ICIP MAKANAN DI KOTA KINABALU

Setiap mengunjungi daerah lain, saya selalu berusaha untuk
mencicipi beberapa makanan rumah atau makanan khas di daerah tersebut.
Beruntung saya selalu punya perut yang fleksibel ketika berpergian sehingga meski tidak makan
nasi beberapa hari pun saya akan baik-baik saja. Paling sakit perutnya setelah
pulang kembali ke rumah. Hehehehe�



Selama saya berkunjung ke Kota Kinabalu (KK), Malaysia,

We have a picnic on the beach

  It is the middle if summer in New Zealand, and it was a perfect day to eat an evening meal at the beach.

 This is Oriental Bay on Wellington Harbour. The sand here is golden, but that's a bit misleading because we heard that they import the sand to this beach. Sand on other parts of Wellington Harbour is either pebbles, or dark grey sand.

Cherries and other stone fruits are in season here, and so delicious.

We visit Te Papa

 

Our family took us to Te Papa, New Zealand's national museum.  

There were some enormous troll sculptures from "The Hobbit", they looked so scary!

At Te Papa we also saw a huge gingerbread house. Much too big for us. We preferred the gingerbread house we shared at Christmas time.

The kids in our family told us that their favourite exhibit in the whole museum is this colossal squid. It was found in Antarctic waters, and it is the only colossal squid on display in any museum in the world. It's eyeballs are the size of soccer balls. We are really glad that it is under glass.

KINABALU: KOTA KECIL YANG TENANG DAN BERSIH

Ada
beberapa alasan mengapa saya lebih memilih Kota Kinabalu (KK) sebagai kota
pertama tujuan wisata ke Malaysia dibandingkan dengan kota lainnya.

1. Saya memiliki keluarga disana yang sangat ingin saya
kunjungi

2. Hiking ke gunung Kinabalu yang terkenal sebagai gunung
tertinggi se Asia Tenggara

3. Kinabalu adalah kota kecil sehingga kemungkinan biaya
hidup lebih murah (balik lagi

SITUS GOA SILUMAN DI DESA WONOCATUR, YOGYAKARTA

Sewaktu saya pergi berlibur dan menginap di kost-an adik saya di desa Wonocatur, Banguntapan Bantul, Yogyakarta, secara tidak sengaja mata saya tertuju pada palang nama Situs Goa Siluman.
Tadinya saya pikir tembok batu itu bekas rumah seseorang atau mungkin bekas
perbatasan apa lah. Tapi ternyata pas melihat palang nama tersebut saya baru tahu
kalau disitu ternyata ada situs bersejarah.

We visit the Wellington Airport

Wellington airport is an international airport, but small and very relaxed!

 Weta Workshops created and installed an enormous Gollum at Wellington Airport for the world premiere of The Hobbit. It's huge and a bit creepy and wonderful. We're glad he has a fish to catch, and won't be interested in tiny backpackers like us!

We went for picking berries...

Today we went picking berries from a local orchard.

This is a local tradition in Napier, where there are lots of orchards with gorgeous summer fruits, strawberries, raspberries, apricots, plums, peaches and nectarines.

Here we are in the trays that the pickers use.

"Hans, where are you?"

These berries are so good, we couldn't help ourselves, we had to dive in to the bowl.
Some in the bowl, some in our mouths. Yum!

"Paul, stop eating them all and come and help me!"
