Too much detail for a b[l]og?

Moscow, Russia

The Hotel Bulgarov, Arbat, Moscow, undergoing internal renovations at the moment, has the smallest toilet cubicle I’ve ever had the pleasure of entering. There have been many toilets in my years of travel that have allowed me to find at least one position to throne and de-throne, even with the aid of something to hold onto or of a friend! But this one takes the cake. With the toilet at 45 degrees to the door opening I tried leaving the door open so one knee could protrude. But this failed. I could bend and sit but that meant that I was sitting on the cistern. I even tried to stand on the rim of the porcelain bowl but still the walls were too close for my long pointy knees. I’m off to find an alternative. Yours in waiting…
