TimeOut

 

First of all Merry Christmas to all! Secondly, since this is my 500th. post  and also Christmas Day ,(evening here in Asia) I decided to do something a bit more lengthy and hopefully offer you some highlights of what my day was like.

First up, my friendly neighbour's daughter showing me her new bike(X'mas present)

Heading off with my better half towards our destination.Decided to wear my festive watch, the Red ROO.

Finally, we are there at a private marina looking for our friend's yacht . Is this the one?

Yes it is

Entering the foyer

Details of the Trompel'oeil mural and banister by Astolfo Turelli that was inspired by panels recovered from the 1930s passenger liner S.S. Normandie.

Some of the guest rooms

Galley with the master chef.

The bridge which features seven monitors that can be lowered into the console when not in use.Connely hide pilot's chair by Recaro.

Owner's personal coat of arms on side of the boat

One of the many lounge areas

Bar

Dine in style

The ceiling is studded with planetarium-style fibre optics. Connected to the yacht's GPS, the stars and constellations revolve to reflect the true heading and depict the night skies of northern and southern hemispheres.

The central portion of the table is a hand made crystal bas-relief representation of the moon's actual surface.Lit by optic fibres,it gives off a lunar glow.

My watch on the moon's surface

On hindsight I should have worn this.

As you can by now assess this yacht is HUGE and includes gym, infirmery,communication centre,office etc. So here are a few more casual pics.

Finally, time to say au revoir to my kind host and this beautiful Super Yacht!

Hope you enjoyed the post.

Cheers

Fernando

Seems you had a great X-mas day ... 22°C is amazing too, we have to settle for 6°C or so ....

All the best.

Filip

the weather is so perfect for us now but 6 degrees isn't so bad. Have a great X'mas!

cheers

Fernando

I love your AP! Just tried searching for the model online and didn't see anything like it. Is there a model name that might help me find it? Thanks, and merry Christmas!

It's the Singapore GP commemorative piece issued as a LE of 250 pcs. in Sept. of this year.I think it's only available at the AP boutiques but chances of getting one are pretty slim.

cheers

Fernando

The watch ain't bad either. Thanks for all the pics!
