DOULOS

Hey, well today I want to try something different, I'll put picture and write, like a story book rather than all the pictures at the end.

Well on Sunday after church Christina, Lem, and me went to Doulos to meet Vandana and her sister, Van's sister is a dentist on board the ship. We didn't want to drive so we took the train down to Freo where the ship had dock. But before we went on board the ship, we went to Freo Market for lunch. haha Hotdogs and ??Crape??




Ya and the best thing of all, we got Free Entry, Free Dinner and a Privet Tours, so Cool!! Thank You Van's sister. Ya and Vandana stayed overnight on the ship. haha. Also had the chance to see the dentist, book storage compartment, with tons of books.







And now after listening to all the great things the people are doing on board the ship, I really want to help out too, for 2 months or so. But what can Animals Studies do, no animals on the ship. haha. Well Photographer they might need!! ha



Vandana


This is what they use to practice "Man Over Board Drill"


Past firefighters on board Doulos


Lifeboat, Thank God they have not used it before.


Well what is visiting Doulos is the Worlds Biggest Floating Bookshop, and everyone who visited went to the bookshop, so we did too. Its not big big, but just normal, haha, I used to think like one whole floor of the ship is filled with books, but nope, one section of the floor only, haha.



After the bookshop we went for a free dinner, and the food was not that bad, I kind of like it, even tho it was salami, hot dog and sliced cheese with veg. Can you imagine how do the people eat in a storm, the plate will go left and right.



And after dinner we had a Strawberry Salad Fest, haha, Christina bought 3 big box of strawberry's for A$6. So we went up to the deck of the ship and ate strawberry covered with honey, sweet.




By the time we finished everything it was dark, and we had to catch the train back to Perth. Ya and there was this really big sign board with a Humpback Whale fluke next to the train station so I decided to take a random picture. Haha. Well we caught the train and didn't realized that the train won't stop at the stop we wanted, so we miss our stop by 1, haha, so we walked back to Christina's house, 10mins walk.






Well thats about it. I really hope I can work on Doulos one day, but its going to stop sailing in 2010 :( O well I don't quite like this format of story book they blogging. I'll go back to the old way next time.

Ok God Bless
