Time to Pay Up!
After taking a 2 hour bus ride bright and early Monday morning to San Pedro, Chile, everyone was in desperate need to use the bathroom once we arrived. We stepped off the bus into the bus station, and praise God, there was the almighty baño there to welcome us!
What ho?! A Foe?! In front of the bathroom door was a 4 foot 2 inch steroid infused Baño Bouncer of all bladder shenanigans. SHE was there to make sure one does not simply turn the door knob and enter the sanctuary of relief. First you must pay up, and pay up big time! $300 to be exact.
It doesn’t end there…
Not only did I have to pay a fee, but as I entered the bathroom, the joke was on me – NO TOILET PAPER. Thank you Lord that I only had to pee, but you’d think after paying the price for entry, I’d have all supplies I could ever want; i.e. gallons of hand soap, sparkling white marble floors, and heaps and heaps of toilet paper. But no, I have none of the above.
The scene wasn’t too graphic, so I stepped back a snapped a photo of the entire room, for you, my faithful viewers. Rest assured, any specific visuals I encounter in the future will be shared, but this episode is all about the experience of entry.
I must note, after leaving the bathroom, I found out that I was the only one that wasn’t given toilet paper. All my other teammates were well taken care of, except me. I think the Baño Bouncer has it out for me … actually, I’m sure of it!
