In lieu of loo

We did the tour “Unforgettable Spain and Portugal” with Grand European Tours, Oct. 3-17, 2007. The tour itself, starting in Madrid and ending in Lisbon, was very good (I just looked at the pictures again) but for one thing.

We had a bus with a bathroom, but the guide told us not to use it as it was too difficult to clean.

She said to tell her if we had to stop, which was done with her remarks, “It’s five miles out of the way, but if you have to go, you have to go.”

Not a great way to conduct a trip!
