Have just only realised that I can respond to a comment on the blog. Duh! Yes McDonalds are almost everywhere. At this point the only place we haven't come across a McDonalds is Poland. I tell you what though they haven't all got toilets! I think the penny has dropped and they are aware that they are supplying toilet facilities to tourists. Most toilets in Europe you have to pay to get into anyhow. It's an expensive business going to the toilet in Europe. The positive is that as soon as you get up off the toilet seat there is someone with a cloth and the disinfectant wiping the seat behind you! Thanks for your email Glenys. I will respond soon. Finding time to do the blog and answer emails is challenging but I do really appreciate being kept up to date with everything so thank you! :)
