I like nice clean toilets- who
doesn’t? As our holiday draws to a
close, I can report the best and worst public toilets of our travels…. I know this is a strange topic, but I would
really like to celebrate the best because it was such a surprise.
Those of you that now me even vaguely will
know my total and utter aversion to public toilets, but there are times when
you are travelling that you need to use the convenience, because it could be a
long time between stops.
The worst- (drumroll please…) Lake Como in
Italy. Slits in the ground that slop
down toward the never never. I stepped
in, took one look and turned around and left- disgusto! Evidence of someone not being able to balance and go was way too much for me!
The best- (trumpet blast) Paris railway station, Gare
de Lyon. Beautiful, although kind of
freaky. They were attended by a large
African woman, the stalls were large (in fact larger than some of the motel
rooms we have stayed in!!!) and decorated with views of Paris. Shut the door and this REALLY loud music was
playing, clearly to distract from any other noises around the room.
The surprise is that in some of the train
stations, whole platforms smell like the boys toilet after a busy lunchtime at
school! One train station that we have been using,
which is closest to our hotel reeks and I have to put my shirt over my face at
one point near some homeless people because it is so bad.
