It was also his first trip outside of Europe so I wonder if he got better at capturing his experiences and weaving them together as he traveled to more places.

Thanks for the link Bookworm_Girl...
Partly as penance and the rest out of interest I used the link to identify his autobiography
Ways of Escape written in 1980 (so at around 76 years of age) and get it. On a quick look at it its style is completely different and an easy and looking to be a very interesting read. There is a section in it on
Journeys.. where he quotes from it and also gives Barbara's recount of the same event. His quote sitting in the nice prose of his autobiography is to me stark in its difference, and Barbara's prose, in my view also superior. He comments a bit about wondering how to approach making the book from his short diary entries.
So another one in my reading list (right near the top), that getting longer and my dollars getting shorter
