Ok Ok... I'm posting this up fast so that who ever wants to go can make plans to go.
The Sagres is presently berthed at Keppel Bay (harbour front MRT is the nearest) and will receive guests only for the next two days (21, 22 oct.) 10 am -10 pm with lunch breaks 12- 2 pm and dinner from 6- 7pm.
Admission is FREE!
It is a 73 year old Portugese ship but modelled after the European ships that sailed 500 years ago. Simply breathtaking and exciting! Just walking around brings your mind back to pirate movies or stowaway stories. I loved imagining sailing in it in the big ocean or looking up in the still of the night at the sky full of stars.
14 stories high!
No. 2's first reaction was, mama! there are so many ropes!
The only regretful thing is that all the sails have to be up.
if not, the Sangres looks like this! Magnificent!
I loved this, Sue! Thanks for sharing!! How exciting that you were all able to go aboard! What a terrific family photo. And the skirts you and your daughter have on are beautiful. :-)

Pamela, it is a blessing to live in a country/city like Singapore. Lots of things happening that the children can see and experience. yay for homeschooling! (freedom to tailor our own schedules.) :)
My skirt was batik. My duaghter's skirt was sewn by my dear former pastor's wife. I'm learning to sew still.
Sammi, you are most welcome! Glad it benefited you. :)
