    The voyage begins

    On December 20th, 1526 we set sail on the Cyrus. The weather is cold and wet. As captain of the ship I am anxious for the journey. We've set sail for Asia. We are searching to see if trade is available.

    Two months at sea

    Our first port

    We have made it to our first port in Europe. The port city is Amsterdam. We will be trading for wine and spices. As captain of my first caravel ship, its very exciting to have made it my first port successfully and not have anyone die! Four more ports to go.

    Second European Port:

    We have reached the second European port in the city of Florence. Life in the city of Florence is pretty much the same around everywhere in Europe. We will be trading wood with the people in Florence. Europe is extremely beautiful compaed to home.

    7 months at sea

    We have been at sea for almost have a year and we have reached two ports in Europe, blank, and blank. Food rations are starting to run low. Luckily, water supplies are very well. Life on a caravel is a lot more touger than I thought.

    Third European port: Milan

    The caravel has gladly reached our third destination. The port city of Milan is beautiful. In Milan we are trading some fire arms. I'm excited to be in this city. We will be leaving the dock soon.

    ten months at sea, food is geetting dangerously low

    It has been ten months at sea. We have been to three port cities, Amsterdam, blank, and blank. Food is extremely scarce, we have to do extremely low rations. There was also a scurvy outbreak. We lost 4 crew members. Luckily, we successfully stopped the scurvy.

    Fourth port city: Venice

    As captain of this voyage I'm happy to sya that we have reached our fourth port. The port city of Venice, Italy. This city is not my favorite city that we have been to so far but I still love traveling at sea. We will be here for a few days.

    Nov 13, 1527

    Fifth port city: Rome

    We have finally reached our final port city. The wonderful city of Copenhagen Germany. The spices are different here than other places. There is a lot of fish. It is extremely cold outside!

    Homeward bound

    We have been at sea for over a year visting and trading with European ports. We went to Amsterdam, Le Harve, Milan, Venice, and Copenhagen. We got many spices,a nd other wonderful goods. Thankfully we are alive and feeling healthy (most of us anyway). All in all a wonderful voyage and I'm surprised that we made it home alive
