Tuesday 18th Up early & had a bath & early breakfast. At 8.30. 41 of us all told set off for London where we changed to Fenchurch St. Station. Had 3 hours in London & I bought a few things I wanted as films etc. We found our ship the Kildonan Castle at the Albert Docks & were well pleased with her appearance over 9000 tons all fitted out anew, she having been used as an auxiliary cruiser during the War.

Spent a good night on one of the hospital beds.
