I Love My Hiking Boots

Not just because they are comfortable either!. They are Goretex lined and I never realised just how valuable that would turn out to be when I got stuck in a malfunctioning Spanish "Superloo".
If you have ever wondered what happens when the superloo you wanted to use goes into a cleaning cycle I can now tell you.
Of course they are meant to lock automatically to clean when the last person leaves. However in my case, the door locked after I entered.
Pumps and machinery started.....
The seat lifted up by itself.......
The dim light got even dimmer......
The floor became awash, and water started spraying in the general direction of the toilet bowl and me.....

All this happened in a few seconds, so naturally I wanted out and hit the emergency exit button, hoping that it too was'nt having a bad day!

The door opened and I must have looked quite shocked, and I was quite damp as I stumbled out onto the promenade. I do know that my boots outers were pretty wet, though inside my feet were nice and dry!
