I love it when some things are taken literally instead of figuratively!
It just adds another dimension to language conundrums that come up all around the world.
And I came across a device that we all use to relive the body’s natural functions, but it was placed in an area I wasn’t expecting!
If you’ve ever travelled overland in Africa, you would know that the ‘bush toilet’ (that is, going behind a tree) will always be much cleaner than any human public toilets that you’ll come across.
However, I have come across a latrine that is definitely cleaned by the elements from time to time! This Outdoor Toilet was spotted at an overland truck camp somewhere in southern Botswana.
The Outdoor Toilets I am normally used to consist of a hole in the ground that you don’t want to fall into – that is, an excavation that you need to cover up with a shovel once you’ve finished your thing..
That’s why I was surprised to see this fully plumbed Outdoor Toilet at the camping ground. It’s probably not the best way to relieve nature’s call if it’s pissing down rain from a great height, but hey, at least you’d be clean afterwards!
Especially if you had contributed to the Beer Chandelier!
Outdoor Toilet in Botswana- Literally!
But this Outdoor Toilet works perfectly and flushes efficiently – to somewhere…
It’s a bit more closer to home than this Outdoor Toilet.
