Rab & Lesley's Big Trip
Days 107 to 121 - Cruise Fremantle to Durban
Day 107 - 16th March 2016
The Astor
Our first view of the Astor in Fremantle shortly before we boarded
Not a great view so I borrowed this one from the Cruise company's website
The Pilot leaving us
First evenings genteel entertainment
Next port of call is Port Louis, Mauritius on March 25th
Days 108 to 112 at sea - not a lot to see..
...but sea!
Day 113 - 22nd March 2016
At Sea
I have been doing laps of the top deck trying to do 3 miles before breakfast each day
Today went up early hoping to capture the sunrise...
But no luck
Day 115 - 24th March 2016
At Sea
Tried for sunrise again
Day 116 - 25th March 2016
Mauritius
Moon on the water just before sunrise
And finally sunrise as we head into Mauritius
We docked in Port Louis and took a short tour
This is a view from Trou aux Cerfs, a dormant volcano
Then on the way to Grand Bassin (a sacred lake for the Hindu community) we passed this enormous statue
At the temple at Grand Bassin
At Black River Gorges viewpoint
The Chamarel Waterfall
Giant Tortoise
Supposed 7 coloured earths - but it had just rained
Another temple snapped from the speeding coach on the way back to port
This was a Bank.
Still a bit of flare on this cleaned up version but I will post the original in the 'Out of the Camera' thread
And Mauritius sunset in Port Louis
Day 117 - 26th March 2016
Reunion Island
Heading into Point de Galets
Views from the crater rim (8000 feet above sea level)
One of our dance crew
Day 118 - 27th March 2016
Its Easter Sunday
Day 119 - 28th March 2016
At Sea
Sunset between Madagascar and South Africa
Day 121 - 30th March 2016
Durban, South Africa
Ship rigged out for arrival in Durban
The yellow flag indicates that we had persons on board that needed medical attention
two ambulances were waiting on the wharf when we docked
Durban
Valley of 1000 hills at Phezulu
The Loo, croc and iguana at Phezulu
Zulu Cultural show at Phezulu
I found it difficult to take these because of the back lighting. The 'stage' was a cliff edge with the sun directly facing us. I placed myself as far left as I could (facing the 'band stand')
Sunset in Durban harbour
Leaving Durban
