This autobiographical, non-technical and mostly light-hearted account of three lecture tours through Continental Europe in the late '70s and early '80s by a Cambridge research chemist describes professional and personal interactions with many colourful and extraordinarily talented hosts. There are descriptions of meals, art galleries, ecclesiastical architectural gems, of a wonderful bed, and even of an eccentric toilet. Here are some aspects of the professional life of a don which include glimpses of how his college was run and of fun he had with college butlers. There is also an insight into the flavour and theatre of viva examinations for the PhD degree for chemists as conducted in Britain and France.
