Day Three - part 4

Last stop of our day before we ate dinner was the ship Columbus.  You can actually go on this ship and take a self guided tour around it.  All I can say is that I'm so glad I'm not a sailor and that I wasn't an emmigrant coming by sea.  I don't think I would get sea sick but the close quarters and the stuffy air would get to me.  I would also be a "sea widow" in that Doug would never travel with me.  He isn't so fond of confined places.

Chris, Evan and Lexie taking a look at the sleeping quarters


Ben looks like he needs this bunk


Outside in the fresh sea air on deck


The code flags of the ship.  Each flag means a different thing.
 For example:  sickness on board or engine not working.


A tradition in my book: get a picture of the everyone on the big anchor outside.  I did it when I was young.  Doug and I did it when on our honeymoon and now our children.


Another picture by Ben:  Me and Doug with Peter on anchor


Ben trying ot be He-Man.  Doug asked him if he could lift a link on the anchor and while he tried I don't think it got too far off the ground.
