Brisbane is currently hosting the oldest active sea-faring ship, the MV Doulos. As Grayson is a big boat fan we thought we should go take a look. We had lunch at Chez Laila with the Jenkins' before exploring the world's largest floating library. Mind you, most of the books are of the "we are trying to convert the world's less enlightened peoples to become god fearing disciples" variety. Greg found a book explaining how the dinosaurs became extinct because they couldn't fit on the ark!!!
The most impressive thing about this boat however is not the number of books it houses but that it was built only 2 years after the Titanic and was obviously made a little more durable :)
So what do you do on the world's biggest floating bookstore? Buy a book of course and Grayson picked this one all about a aeroplane (go figure....he could have picked one about a boat!). He obviously couldn't wait to get home to read it so he plonked himself down on the deck of the boat and started reading it.
A fun day was had by all........
