Most memorable toilets around the world
Going to the bathroom is a necessity, but when you travel abroad, it can also be an adventure. Here's a collection of the most memorable bathrooms on my RTW trip.
Most comfortable: Transfrontier Safari's Madach Camp, Greater Kruger South Africa
A spectacular view towards the flora and fauna of the African bush out the window, partners up with the odor eliminating properties of a dry climate and the frequent warm breeze. This is the most comfortable, and the most scenic, bathroom of all. Oh and for those keeping track, yes, you can also find the most comfortable bed here at Madach Camp.
Most Historic: Topkapi Palace, Istanbul Turkey
Tucked inside one of the historic buildings right by the exit from the Harem, using the facilities here almost seems naughty like you're actually pooping on a historic monument.
Most Geometric: Everywhere in Argentina
This particular toilet is in the Sheraton in Iguazu, but all of the toilets I saw in Argentina had a square seat. And the bidet was always square too, even in the Buenos Aires hostel.
Most Minimalist: Boat Landing Lodge, Luang Namtha Laos
When I walked our room's bathroom at the Boat Landing Lodge, I thought, "hmm, that is a very simple looking toilet, very sleek." And then I realized it was missing the water tank. Basically to flush the toilet, you fill up he urn to the left, and using a metal pail, you pour the water directly into the bowl.
Most Minimalist Part 2: Roadside restaurant on the road from Luang Namtha to Oudomxay, Laos
Not only is this one of those toilets where you scoop water from the receptacle and pour to flush, you actually share a common water trough with your neighboring toilet! (And yes you can actually see them in the reflection of the water.)
