Its the tall ship Cuauhtemoc from the Mexican Navy and its making a stopover here in Melbourne for 5 days before resuming its journey to Sydney on Sunday morning.
ARM Cuauhtemoc is named after the last Aztec Emperor who was killed by Hernan Cortés during the Spanish invasion of Central America leading to the end of the Aztec Empire.
The ship has come all the way from Mexico, stopping at a few ports in South America, eventually crossing the Atlantic Ocean to South Africa and now Australia. The first port of call was Fremantle in Western Australia before arriving in Melbourne.
The ship is free for everyone to come aboard to check it out. The friendly crew are more than happy to talk and show you around but unfortunately we met a crew member who couldn't speak English and my Spanish was just as bad!
It was a thrill onboard the Cuauhtemoc, its not a modern warship but it was more a friendly world tour by the Mexican Navy. They do have guns onboard the ship but not loaded, they wouldn't need to I supposed.
This is the rudder of the ship. How I wish I could steer the ship out into the bay for a few spins! More like crashing the ship into another ship. Watch out! Foochow steering the ship!
Ahh...best place to hangout, the kitchen! They were preparing food when we were there and this kitchenhand was too happy to camwhore for me. Gracias Señor!
OK...thanks for reading, I'm going back into hiding again. Till next time, you didn't see me...

Err...psst! That's the steering wheel of the ship. The rudder is located in the aft section in the water, not on the deck.

Pirate Wuching, come and hide in Malaysia la.
Gee! The guns on board the ship just like yours...not loaded! Ha ha ha ha ha!

che-cheh: ahh...but u never know, i could be hiding in ur petunia valley oredi!
STP: aiyo! so mean ah u! how would u know my gun's not loaded, u've try firing it? hahahahaha
Hmmmm....STP..I think Wuching's gun is loaded..just that he shoots blanks hahahahahahahahahhahahahahahaha
Is it me or did I just realised soemthing..why people from Sibu always end up visiting the Kitchen of the places they visit? Maybe its the most comfortable place around :P
All the same...so tham chiak!!! BTW, QV...I tried some new dishes at Ruby! Oh the ang-sio pork ribs is heavenly!!! But must confine to occasions when I have visitors only!!! Can't indulge every day!!! When C4STP coming??? I had that dish + honey prawns + asparagus with garlic + three-layer pork with salted fish & dried chillis + sea cucumber soup + drinks, only RM65 (5 persons) i.e. less than AUS$20!!! Dirt cheap!!!
Wah lau..all the pork..nanti the 2 inches and gained 1back sure gone completely and end up gaining 5 inches hahahahahahha....
But if any of u go Sibu..be sure to go to Ruby...delicious man!!!!!
Never mind...can detox full-time again!!! U think that Wuching went to kitchen to see the chef not the food? See! No photos of food, only of chef!!! Ha ha ha ha ha!
Hmmm..true true..now I'm suspicious of this foochow guy.....makes one wonder
Beautiful ship. Nice.
Wished I was onboard ... and sailing it. *sigh*
QV: not u too! another 1 who wants to fire my gun!
STP: u r getting too dirty liao..in a wrong way!
fh2o: unker, i think this ship is too heavy for u to paddle..maybe u can ask ur best singapore fren to help push!
Psst!! KNB's birthday is exactly in a months time and I just posted his birthday gift wish list in my journal. So go see and see what you can get for him. This is what he really wants for his birthday..hahahah
Are you anywhere near Port Klang now?
why not stopover in Kiasuland? I am sure kiasulang will crowd into the kitchen, not to camwhore but to ask for free tacos!! me included hehehe!
QV: what do u get someone who has everything!
neo: aiya! i lost my way & ended up in the sulu sea so got robbed by sulu pirates!
