In a few hours I board a plane to Southern Italy-a region I have yet to explore…I am excited to see the differences between the North and the South. I hear they are very boisterous and fun. I will have the best pizza ever. But there are always some common house keeping questions I have , like …do they have the batteries I need, will the hotel have a hairdryer…will there be anywhere to run? Then there is the important answer to the question above…”Where is the restroom?”.
Take a look at the above photo….this is sometimes the answer you get when asking the above question . You will notice there are no handrails to hold onto-you better have strong thigh muscles…where is the flusher? Sometimes they are buttons in the wall, maybe a pedal on the floor, or a string to pull.
One lesson Ihave learned…always take a few tissues in your purse….you never know! The plumbing is always interesting…see the one below-it wraps around the entire room!
I am excited that my little apartment has a new toilet and fresh tile-Italians love their tile. Looks like we have the built-in to the tank flusher…see below! We also have a new washing machine which is like….heaven sent!! We can wait to go see our new “bagno”!
Here’s another travel tip-If you are blond, cute or have a nice smile, buy a cup of coffee-the cafe owner will then direct you to the “nice” toilet with a seat!! BAM
Happy travels!
