Walking back over the Neva River in St Petersburg, we passed a bank of toilets. These are set up at various places round the city for which you must pay for the privilege to use them. They were overflowing, ripe and not the place you would visit even if they paid you.
With our family fixation on toilets, I thought you might like this report on a toilet in Turku, the beautiful old city in Finland.
The pub - restaurant Puntorin Vessa, is located in a building that served as a public convenience for over 50 years.
It is tastefully decorated including a collection of potties and an imaginative artwork by Eila Puumalainen, with a theme on this most basic human need. The menu also has a special focus on toilet humour. Not much different to dinner at Conjola!

Hmmm, a toilet themed restaurant IN an old toilet. And you ate there?
I think this one deserves an entire chapter of its own in the book.
How could they NOT eat there?
You ate in the toilet. Hmm. Can't wait to see THOSE photos!
horrified and yet impressed.
We are saving the best toilet stories for the book
