Diary of Vasco Da Gama

8 of July 1497 Portugal

I have finally accomplished the approve of my king to make the trip from Portugal to
India so we could restock in terms of species , money and resources. I have said set
with four of the best boats and 200 men at my church alone trip awaits may God protect
us all.

4 of November 1497 port Santa Elena

It’s been almost four months since we have traveled from Portugal to India we have
traveled across the winds of the Atlantic South we also made a stop near the extremes
of Africa however I thought we’ve already arrived to India but after investigating the
nature of that port we weren’t in Calicut, India it was a port called Santa Elena, we
made us stop since after all the storms that we have across we needed to repair the
boats. Additionally once we arrived there we find a strange tribe witch hunts whales and
sings a strange Symphony with a flute made of wood I hope we already have along
actually a short trip from Santa Elena to Calicut India May God protect us all.

20 of may 1498 India

My dearest God we have finally accomplished the trip from Portugal to India however I
have some conflict with the locals of Calicut India they have threatened us even made
fun of us finally I had made some economical agreement with the king of India and also
told him to send a letter to the king of Portugal so he could make sure that we already
have accomplished the trip and we can have all the specie they were going to take from
India to Portugal to restock the route of Species but also to make more money,
however I have too many problems since my tripulation was already exhausted by the
trip they were almost to throw me through the board and I couldn’t make anything only
by representing my paper announcing that I was the captain I told them that they
needed to have faith and so they did now we have to return to India to Portugal so we
can so we could return as the new heroes of the era.

29 of august 1498 Portugal

My Lord I’m already in Portugal however during the trip I suffered some attacks from
the natives and moreover from Zamorin he was the hereditary monarch of the kingdom
of Calicut on the South malabar region of India, who aboard the float with eight boats
however we defeated him unless I had a terrible loss my brother Paulo he was sick
since we parted from Calicut I’ve buried him in the island of Terceira de los Azores in
honor of how he accompanied me during this trip I will never forget him. May God bless
him and bless us all because we are the new heroes of the era.
