I've decided I'm going to do a worldwide survey of toilets and showers, as I've had some interesting experiences so far: The delta dunny consisted of a hole dug in the ground by the Polers, surrounded by elephant dung, over which you shoveled soil with a handy spade once you'd finished. Then there was the open air toilet - no roof, so you could look up at the stars whilst doing the necessary. Shoulder high cubicles - very sociable I'm sure. Toilets where the walls were made from reeds, thatched walls, wicker walls, and a drop loo, complete with swarm of wasps to ensure minimal queues - maybe an idea for Tesco!
I've now showered with mosquitoes, spiders and frogs, and cleared out cockroaches & rats - this is not for the faint-hearted, but I suppose that's all part of the Africa experience - You should all give it a go!
PS: Message board dilemma response
Lisa, the group concensus about your delicate dog doo situation is to - CONFRONT THE MAN- in a nice way of course; Suggesting maybe he is unaware of the pong that is so offensive to your olfactory senses. This serious matter was put to the vote on the nomad truck, so I feel it would be rude to ignore it - let us know the outcome.
Yours - proactive - Botswana
