Ok folks! When I took my first overseas trip I had no clue what I was doing and I stayed at a hostel in london that was absolutely horrible! The shower was not something to brag about, Im 6 foot 2 and the shower head was about 3 and half feet high and shot downwards. To get water on the upper half of my body I had to lean over and the stall was only slightly wider than I. I had to use my hands to try and splash water up to my back, armpits, etc. Why the hell could they not have just added 2 or 3 feet of pipe? Anyways there is my bad shower experience...I had a good shower experience in Spain but thats another story :D Anybody else????

:D That sucks. Yeah, a lot of the older bathrooms in Europe are nothing to write home happy about. Thank God they've smartened up since back in the day ^_^

I had a private room in a French Hotel somewhere in the south of France once with no shower curtain. I hate wet bathroom floors

I didn´t even think about exchanging rooms for another one <_< Guess I was just too comfy hanging out in the hotel room all day (without ever going outside. You know the drill

)with my "then" girlfriend, that we didn´t want to go through all the trouble.

Okay, bro, you can share that other story in the "Sex" forum

. We´ll be waiting :D

Haha

:D I´ve had a few "shower experiences" in France and in Spain, and maybe it´s not that I know backpackers all too well, it´s that I know that a European girl doesn´t step in the shower with you just to get clean...on the contrary
