Still rem my post on the mickey mouse island, which the guys here had tried vising many times but nvr succeed? We were determine this time so everybody set off by as early as 9am. And yeah.. we are the early birds, so early that we waited for almost 2 hr. =P
While waiting, we went to see a submarine exhibition. It is a floating museum anchored at the pier. During its time in active service, the Riachuelo submarine traveled over 181,000 miles, 1,238 days at sea and 17,700 hours under water. Touring its compartments , we learnt about its weaponry and machinery, getting a good idea of life on board of a submarine.
I think the accommodation platform of the jack-up and semi that my our company built is definitely 5-star hotel after seeing all those crampy toilets and dorm.
The tix is definitely worth the money. With just R$4 per pax, we get to take this huge wooden boat which brings us to the Mickey Mouse Island. It was real cool!!
It was a guided tour, with a Portuguese speaking tour guide. However, we- gringos were given an introductory book each, which basically is a brief translation of the tour guide speech.
Hehe.. i love my cammie. Now i got all the history of this island in my harddisk.
Most of the things here were reproduction according to the 19th centrury, only a few are originals and belong to the Navy Museum. I can imagine how posh it used to be...After the tour, we headed straight for food. Everywhere we intended to go seems to be extremely propular. No choice but to drove all the way to Barra. i guessed it blessing in disguise, we found a newly opened (just 3 weeks old) north brasil restaurant! The fish and prawn moqueca was so delicious!!! I simply hv to put my diet plan behind my head or else it would be a sin. The waiter and waitress were wearing traditional north brazil's dress. We took the alfresco seat which is by the seaside. Mmmmm.. so Bahia!!
Met a cute puppie named scoobee-loo during the meal, hehe.. the rest of my afternoon was busy playing wif him. He is only 2 weeks old. Zico too was this big when i first brot him home. Ahh.. i missed Zico.
Went to the beach for a stroll.. the breeze was refreshing and i can smell the sea even i was standing by the road shoulder. The serenity was so undisruptable. Just when i was about to walked down to the beach, i heard the car honks and some dudes shouting. I turned my head and i was too shocked to response. I saw BUTT!! yea.... naked brazilian butt stretching out from the van passed by, haha.. welcome to Brazil!
I want to be a beach bum someday. Simply doing nothing else but dive and dive and cuddle up at the beach with some cute dude and chill. Ooh.. Life!!
