| Poseidon's Temple |
Here we are on our backpacking adventures when we were young and foolish. We were staying in a very insalubrious youth hostel in the Plaka in Athens. This was our first experience of the cardboard box for used toilet paper. There were stern instructions about definitely NOT flushing it down the loo. Oh the horror of sitting on the throne with a huge boxful next to you!
We took a day trip down to Cape Sounion to check out Poseidon's Temple. I don't think we ever found the scratched-in graffiti of Lord Byron's signature on the base of one of the columns. We all look kind of grumpy here. Maybe that lurking cardboard box?...
Join in with Tiffin Fiona - but hurry 'cos today's the last day of the monthly linky - in this travel roundup of places near and far.
Oh yes loo paper in the bin next to the bathroom-you see it in a lot of countries in Asia, particularly China. The poor cleaners!
ReplyDeleteOh it was a shock to our naive little brains. :))
DeleteI love this pic. I definitely think there is much reflection going about the toilet paper situation in this photo.
ReplyDeletei am curious as to why we looked so grumpy there. it was a perfectly sunny day and very beautiful.
DeleteWhat a story Sherry! As our own modern day Lord Byron, Morrissey, said 'I can laugh about it now but at the time it was terrible'.
ReplyDeleteit was pretty awful but the toilets in China were much worse!
