Spain ~ Costa de la Luz ~ Isla Canela ~ The ships of Columbus

For our third day my dad found out that we stayed quite close to where Columbus left Spain to find a way over sea to India. Well we all know how that ended but which was pretty cool that they actually have a museum right at this place and original sized models of the 3 ships. 

The 3 ships of Columbus.

That's how the place is called where the ships are.

The stake in front of the museum.

A window picture at front of the museum.

The first of  the three ships.

It was smaller then the other ships but still pretty big. I think it is hard to imagine that people sailed for such a long time over the Atlantic to America with that ship.

My little sister on the Carabela Pinta.

It was really interesting to see how people worked on the ships and how things were stored on board.

The biggest and probably the most famous of the three ships.

On board.

My little sister looking around the ship :)

My little cute sister :)

Me on board of the Nao Santa Maria.

That's how they stowed food and drinks back then on the ship.

Looking up the stairs from the "celler" of the ship.

The 3rd one of the three ships.

It was a lot like the first one so I just took a picture from the outside.

It was really dry at the time that we had our vacation in spain so you can see that here.

All three ships again :)

I love that flower. Thought it was a beautiful picture.

Some other nice flowers :)

Old maps.

Old instruments to navigate. No wonder that they didn't find India!

I have no idea what that is but I guess it has something to do with the stars.

Some other old instruments.

Old books and notes.

Again some old books.

Thought it looks really nice that monument but I have no idea for what it is.

I also have no ídea for what that monument is but it is really famous for Huelva.
