Living in a Ship Part 7
Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

The next attraction which I visited in Brazil is the Corcovado Cristo or Cristo Redentor. One of the seven wonders of the world a new form of sculptures of Jesus stretched out his hand. From the top where the statue stood we could see clearly almost all parts of the city of Rio de Janeiro. One of the proofs the greatness human beings in making something wonderful.

Christ the Redeemer (Portuguese: Cristo Redentor) is a statue of Jesus Christ in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, considered the Art Deco statue of the world's largest statue of Jesus Christ and the fifth largest in the world. The size of this statue is 39.6 meters (130 feet) tall, including 9.5 meters (31 feet) base, and 30 meters (98 feet) wide. It weighs 635 tonnes (625 long, 700 short tons), and is located 700 meters (2,300 feet) above sea level atop Corcovado mountain in Tijuca Forest National Park overlooking the city. A symbol of Christianity, the statue has become an icon of Rio and Brazil. The statue is made of reinforced concrete and Soapstone, and was built between 1922 and 1931.

The way to the top of Corcovado Cristo traveled about 30 minutes by train. Quite thrilling for the train running at around 10 km / hour. This is because the trip to climb. Not to mention that the train that is used already seems old.

Objek wisata berikutnya yang saya kunjungi di Brazil adalah Cristo Corcovado atau Cristo Redentor. Salah satu keajaiban dunia berupa patung Yesus yang membentangkan tangannya. Dari atas tempat patung ini berdiri kita bisa melihat jelas hampir seluruh bagian kota Rio de Janeiro. Salah satu bukti kehebatan manusia dalam membuat sesuatu yang mengagumkan.

Kristus Penebus (bahasa Portugis: Cristo Redentor) adalah patung Yesus Kristus di Rio de Janeiro, Brasil, dianggap sebagai Art Deco terbesar patung di dunia dan 5 patung Yesus Kristus terbesar di dunia. Ukuran patung ini adalah 39,6 meter (130 kaki) tinggi, termasuk 9,5 meter (31 kaki) alasnya, dan 30 meter (98 kaki) lebar. Beratnya 635 ton (625 panjang, 700 ton pendek), dan terletak 700 meter (2.300 kaki) diatas permukaan laut di puncak gunung Corcovado di Taman Nasional Hutan Tijuca menghadap ke kota. Sebuah simbol Kekristenan, patung tersebut telah menjadi ikon dari Rio dan Brazil. Patung ini terbuat dari beton bertulang dan Soapstone, dan dibangun antara 1922 dan 1931.

Perjalanan menuju ke atas Cristo Corcovado di tempuh sekitar 30 menit menggunakan kereta. Lumayan mendebarkan karena kereta melaju dengan kecepatan sekitar 10 km/jam. Ini karena perjalanannya mendaki. Belum lagi kereta yang digunakan sudah nampak tua.

Ketika musim dingin sudah mulai di Eropa sekitar bulan Oktober sampai dengan Maret kapal tempat saya bekerja mengalihkan rute ke daerah Amerika Latin. Tepatnya di Brazil, Uruguay dan Argentina.

Living in Ships Part 4

There are several things that make working on the ship was exciting. One was the opportunity for a visit and look around some of the attractions in the country served by vessel in which we work. Although it somewhat rare opportunity and it took the sacrifice of time, but at least we can enjoy it. Working on a cruise ship does not have the day off 1 or 2 days as when we working on land. So when you want to get out the street we should be smart divide free time during recess in 1 business day.


When I first got free time for get out, place the first times I have visited was Villefranche, Nice, France. A major tourist attractions in the form of long beach with white sand.

Ada beberapa hal yang membuat bekerja di kapal itu terasa menyenangkan. Salah satunya kesempatan buat berkunjung dan melihat-lihat objek wisata di beberapa negara yang disinggahi kapal tempat kita bekerja. Walaupun kesempatan itu agak jarang dan butuh pengorbanan waktu, tapi setidaknya kita bisa menikmati hal tersebut. Kerja di kapal pesiar tidak mempunyai waktu libur 1 atau 2 hari seperti kalau kita kerja di darat. Jadi ketika ingin keluar jalan-jalan kita mesti pintar membagi waktu luang yang ada selama jam istirahat dalam 1 hari kerja.

Ketika pertama kali punya waktu luang buat keluar jalan-jalan, tempat yang pertama kali saya kunjungi adalah Villefranche di Nice, Prancis. Sebuah tempat wisata berupa pantai panjang dengan pasir putihnya.
