Here is the ship docked at the Subic Bay pier on Waterfront Road. |
|
You have to pay 10 pesos (25 cents) per person to go on. You walk up the steep blue gangway to get on and off and it is a climb! |
|
This woman had made her purchases and was going home loaded up. |
|
You walk up one side and then down the other when you leave. Flip flops or heels would have been treacherous. there were "speed bumps" about every foot along the way making it harder, though probably safer if it had been a wet day. |
|
Here is a close up of the going down side which was exactly like the going up side. |
|
You were only allowed access to the book deck, but for 50 pesos more you could go on a tour and hear about the boat, but we didn't. |
|
This was one of many life boats. Each held 87 people. |
|
Just about there. You can see the end of the deck and the entrance to the book store with the sloping white roof. |
|
Here we are. There were lots of kids materials and religious materials, but no popular fiction and little non-religious nonfiction. |
|
I bought some art how to books and a night sky star book and a 2004 World |
|
Like every bookstore they sold cards and pens and notebooks and a few educational toys. |
|
Time to pay up. |
|
It is nice that this is available. They are a non-profit so sell books at a discounted price. I just wish the library could buy some of these books and make them available to kids with no money.
