A Visit To The MV Doulos.

It was a hot Sunday afternoon yesterday when the family and me paid a visit to the visiting ship MV Doulos. (For more info about the ship and its crew, please log on to here.)

The MV Doulos

Actually this was not the first time the ship berthed here in Kota Kinabalu. In fact it’s been several times over the years. I was in primary 5 when I first visited the ship back then and now after a lapsed of 35 years I paid my second visit.

A section of the crowd.

It’s a sort of floating bookstore and there are a variety of books available for sale. I dare say most of the books are not available here in the local bookstores and the prices offered are quite cheap too in comparison.

These greeting cards pictures caught my attention.

Especially this.

The crew that handled the visitors are interesting too. All of them are volunteers and comprises of different nationalities. We bought several books and some souvenirs like key chains and left only when my daughter started to feel seasick.

We were all quite hopeful to seethe ship making another port call again next year.
