The Expedition

Day at sea

Nov 23, 1520

Entering the Pacific sea today with my crewmembers and my leader Magellan. Feeling sick because theres no food to eat and so a lot of the crew memebers are unhealthy. The food that we have at the moment is okay I mean its something but its not the best. Its a biscuit and it has a lot of dirt remains on it from rats so it stinks.

The journey to the Pacific

Magellan set sail from Spain in an effort to find a western sea route to the rich Spice Islands of Indonesia. Ao we passed through a lot of places. Many places were famous for a few things. We went to many places

Day at sea 2

Nov 24, 1520

At sea and the men are complaining alot. They are hungry but they cant eat because of their gums. It was the upper and lower gums that the men grew (swelled) alot. This misfortune was said it was the worst.

Passing through Ibiza

Nov 24, 1520

A place we passed through was Ibiza. It's well-known for the lively nightlife scene in Ibiza Town and Sant Antoni, where major European nightclubs have summer outposts.

Day at sea 3

Nov 25, 1520

The water that we had was not very good water. It was the only water us sailors had on the boat. We couldnt drink the sea water. We couldnt drink the sea water because it was almost like salt water, if we had to much of it eventually we would get dehydrated and our organs would begin to shut down. So the water that we had and could survive on was nasty yellow water.

Passing through The Palacio Real de Madrid

Nov 25, 1520

We passed through The Palacio Real de Madrid, its the official residence of the Spanish Royal Family at the city of Madrid, but is only used for state ceremonies. There was many cool things to see and it was fun meeting new people.

Day 4 at sea

Nov 26, 1520

During this time alot of our sailors died. Many also became very ill. The sickness was in various places like in the arms and legs and many other places. Other than that alot remained very unheatly and couldnt do anything about it.

Passing through Casa Batlló

Nov 26, 1520

We passed through Casa Batlló is a renowned building located in the center of Barcelona and is one of Antoni Gaudí’s masterpieces. It was a bueatiful place and it looked like snake skin to me in my opinion but it was a work of art someone had put together.

Day 5 on sea

Nov 27, 1520

I did not like our captain Magellan he was getting on my nerves so much. I disliked the way he viewed things and the way he let some of us suffer while trying to help him. I was very negative during this time but only because i was close to death and he didnt seem to care about anyone but himself.

Passing through The Giralda

Nov 27, 1520

We seen The Giralda is a bell tower of the Seville Cathedral in Seville, Spain. It was originally built as a minaret in the Moorish period, with a Renaissance style top subsequently added by Spaniards. The Giralda was my favorite place to see because it remined me of home it was very beautiful.
