Toilet #2

On a mountain top far above the Arctic Circle I came across this stunningly located outdoor toilet. The second picture shows the view that you would get from the throne if you flung the door open - not advisable as it was a bit nippy! I couldn't work out if the two cubicles were meant to be "his" and "hers", or if it was just Swedish efficiency to double the facilities and thus keep the queues down ......?

At any rate, this is definitely a "loo with a view" and so this post is dedicated to the Society for High and Interesting Toilets, founded several years ago after the discovery of a delightful "long drop" in the Swiss Alps which was featured on this blog - see link http://gyurgyak.blogspot.com/2009/08/toilet.html.

The Ice Bar

Yes, it really exists and it's really made of ice, and you're allowed to take away your "ice glass" as a souvenir .....
