The days are passing quickly now. It was lovely up on deck before breakfast � sunny and a fresh breeze. I sat with a crowd of folks who were going to Morwell Victoria (where Joe Beswick lives) and sewed on press-studs and caught up with my logbook.
There was little change of routine this morning. We had to change our English money for Ceylonese Rupees, ready for docking at Colombo.
The ship had organised a tour by motor coach round the interesting places of Colombo, including lunch at a big hotel. Harry went down to book our seats. We wanted to see as much as we could in the short time we stayed there.
The rest of the day was much the same, only the breeze seemed to lessen and the heat increase. The decks at night are more crowded as the days go by. |
