Linda and Roxy in Europe

Biffy in a jiffy!
Upon arriving in Munich almost 9 weeks ago, we quickly realized public restrooms weren't as available as we're use to. We learned to look for WC (water closet) signage or ask for toilet. There are no convenience stores or public restrooms in grocery stores or shops. Cafes & restaurants have facilities but you're expected to make a purchase. Also, there may be a fee so it's helpful to have some change handy. Fortunately the trains have WCs!!

Kind of a shock to use a credit card to pay to
use a toilet!

This was the most expensive toilet, 1.50 Swiss francs! If there was a fee, it was generally .50-1 Euro. We tried to avoid the pay toilets, not always possible.

This was another type of pay toilet. If more than one person slipped through together, an alarm sounded!

Nice signage & easy access. Some of them had men or women as attendants cleaning after every use!!!

They weren't always easy to find. Sometimes they
were under bridges.

The water closets were often downstairs.

This pit toilet was very clean & roomy. An unexpected condition considering the number of visitors using it.

We had to ask if this was actually the water closet. Yes it was!

When there's nothing else available, the trees come in handy. Although, we heard it's illegal to use nature as a toilet in Switzerland!
