Emily Morton writes from Australia that her parents were on this voyage on AKAROA from London and the ports visited were Las Palmas, Cape Town (meeting Cadets from a Clan ship on a trip to Table Mountain and the "Table Cloth" cloud was so impressive and saw Signal Rock and Lion's Rock), Durban (where they met relatives from the Drakensberg area), Fremantle (where they met my mother's family who had travelled from Perth), Sydney, Auckland, Rarotonga, Tahiti, Balboa (for the Panama Canal), Curacao (where they refuelled the ship), Trinidad, Ponta Delgada in the Azores and back to London. Her mother had kept a diary of the voyage and ended writing that she had put on weight that she had to buy a completely new wardrobe of clothes when she got home. |
