For some reason I have a firm recollection that this was the correct date, but looking at the itinerary suggests that it should have been up to two weeks later. Unfortunately my memories of this trip were not sufficient to fill out the time between the known dates 12 April 1957 and 4 July 1957.

Coming out of Innsbruck we were greatly amused by the names of some of the villages in the vicinity: Mutters and Natters.

Today was the first day of the Rotary International Convention.

I had understood that my father was the only representative from Malaya, but it seems that there were 7.

Do you have a comment about something I have written? This is a diary, not a “blog”, and there is deliberately no provision for directly adding comments. It's also not a vehicle for third-party content. But I welcome feedback and try to reply to all messages I receive. See the diary overview for more details. If you do send me a message relating to something I have written, please indicate whether you'd prefer me not to mention your name. Otherwise I'll assume that it's OK to do so.
