Why is it that while I am looking at the most beautiful countryside in the world, all I want to do is take pictures of Ireland’s toilets. Has jet lag morphed me into acting like a 12-year-old boy? I have been here 2 days and have yet to see the same toilet twice.  Ireland’s intercity railway, Iamrod Eireann, had the most interesting toilet thus far (see photo below).

Some advice to those of you willing to give it a go:  make sure you push the “Lock” button.  It’s lit up in bright red dots so you can’t miss it. However, almost everyone forgets to do this the first time.  As it turns out, that is the only time you will make that mistake!
