There is more to family travel in Europe than the Acropolis, Eiffel Tower, Trevi Fountain and Tower Bridge. Visit medieval castles and weave tales of dragons, dungeons, damsels and even Frankenstein. Tour Roman, Greek and Celtic ruins but beware of the English penchant for old stones or soon you will be touring everything! Explore sun-drenched islands off the coast of Spain, Italy, Greece and Croatia. Bike on country roads from Ireland to Austria. Take a river cruise or barge holiday through the heart of old Europe. Discover the fjords in Scandinavia. Ride the Hogwarts Express from Fort William to Mallaig in the Scottish Highlands or take a scenic train trip from Chur to Martigny in Switzerland. Hike in the Alps and Pyrenees or trek across Corsica. But don't expect to spot wildlife, imagine stunning scenery instead. Our family travel guides will help you discover how to travel in Europe with kids.
Travel Journal: Toilets of the World
Sit or squat? Wipe or wash? Flush or toss? Pay to poop, pee for free, text to tinkle? Not every country in the world has upright commodes. Nor does every country have flush toilets or the same kind of plumbing. Some countries have sit down cans. Some have squat potties. Others have high tech toilets complete with buttons for each bodily function. Some sit down cans have heated toilet seats. Others have no seats at all. Some cultures wipe their bums with paper. Others wash their bottoms with water. Not all plumbing systems can handle toilet tissue, that's what the bin is for. Some countries have flush toilets. Others have long drop latrines. Some loos have cubicles. Others are open-air urinals. Some public toilets are free of charge. Some are coin operated. Others are text message activated. Most importantly, not all public toilets are clean. Not even those near home!
Here's a picture of the weirdest toilet I've ever seen.
