I could not figure out how to flush the toilet on the plane. I eventually concluded it would do so automatically when I opened the door. Not so. I left a mess for the next person.
So the toilet I used this morning wouldn’t flush. It had a knob on the top that came off in my hand. And I thought, “ I can’t leave a mess again; I just can’t.” But how much more complicated than an American toilet can a Spanish toilet be? So I took the top off the tank and pushed on the part the knob was to control. No dice. So I pulled. It flushed. And in getting it back together I dropped my phone in the tank.
FORTUNATELY, I insisted on a waterproof case for my phone, even waited extra days to get one. And I’m pretty religious about putting the charging tab back in. So all is well. But I would really like to have an adventure that doesn’t involve getting lost or a bathroom.
