Toilets

---

In the Aquaterra camp at Silversands on the bank of the Ganges, there are dry pit latrines. These toilets are pits dug in the ground. A wooden box with a toilet seat is placed on top of the hole. There is a pile of sand and lime behind the box with a scoop on top of the pile. You use it just like home but when you are finished you scoop some of the sand/lime mixture on top of your "job"! This kind of toilet is new to me; it feels Ok after a while but still a bit weird compared to toilets at home. It seems to work well if a bit smelly!

Around India they have either normal "Western Style" toilets or "Indian Style" toilets which are just a hole with foot pads either side and a tap instead of toilet paper! On the train the toilets just go straight onto the track. Yuck!!
