Travel through India and Ceylon


Dr Nora Mitchell first embarks on her journey to India from Southampton, via the Suez Canal - Aden - Yemen, to the port of Bombay, India. She continues her journey to a town called Vadakangulam, in the Nagercoil district, Tamil Nadu. Here she joins the Lutheran Mission school to teach Religious Studies, and Physical Education. The photos capture her first view of the subcontinent, her 'season' getaways to Kodaikanal, and a holiday to Ceylon.
