Folgenden Christopher Columbus
Es ist sehr interessant, an Bord einer nahezu perfekten Nachbildung der Boote zu sein, mit denen der Colombo Cristpovao nach Amerika gelangte. die Portugiesen benutzten sie auch. Es ist eine andere Erfahrung als auf anderen moderneren Booten. Der Madeira Wein, den wir probiert haben, war ziemlich süß und lecker.

Abord a famous Caravel
Portugal and Spain discover half a world because of the maps, guiding systems, and special ships named Caravelas. Caravelas are old style boats that use a triangular type of sails that allows the navigation even if the wind is blowing against your route. The caravels were small boats, fast, with a good structure that were perfect for discoveries. Personnaly was pleasure to be on a well build replica of this historical boats.

My kids like pirates
3 hours fun with m,y kids pretending we were pirates. The boat become a playground for us. We imagine that we were travelers in search of lands or bandits searching for other boats. I was surprise about how many stories they knew. Very fun hours for us all.
