Trusty Narrator (0:01)
Hey there, smarty pants. Trusty narrator here. Guess where I just got back from a vacation? I visited Italy, Spain, Greece and France. Ooh la la. Do you know what all those countries have in common, smarty pants? If you said they're all located in Europe, you're right. But they share something else. A body of water. If you said they're all on the Mediterranean Sea, you're extra right. And since I wanted to visit so many countries along the Mediterranean Sea, I decided flying an airplane was out and I decided to use a different mode of transportation. Any guesses what it is here? I'll give you a hint. That's right, smarty pants. I took a cruise ship. Just me and 3,000 strangers aboard a 1,000 foot long floating city for a week long excursion. And for reference, 1000ft is about the size of the Eiffel Tower. And while it was a great experience seeing all those different countries, I'd be lying if I said my favorite part wasn't all the fun that I had aboard the ship. And if there's one thing a trusty narrator doesn't do, it's lie. The truth is there were so many cool things to do on the cruise that I barely slept. Well, that and the fact that I was up most of the nights with seasickness. But I didn't let a little queasiness stop me from having a great time out at sea. Nope. I played video games at the onboard arcade, saw a stage play at a state of the art theater, and even went down a massive water slide into an Olympic sized swimming pool. Come to think of it, I went down that massive water slide a lot. You could say I was living my best life out at sea. But do you want to know what kept me up most nights during the cruise, smarty pants? Well, aside from the seasickness, it was the fact that me and all those people did all those activities on a massive boat floating on water. Which got me thinking. How do boats work? How can something so heavy stay afloat? When were boats invented? And what's the biggest boat ever made? It's time for a whiff of science and a splash of history on who smarted?
