Showers of England & Europe

Yes, that's right, this entire blog is devoted to the showers we have seen while traveling through Europe and living in England, starting with our own.  It's one of the biggest topics of conversation when people come to visit because they can be so interesting and SMALL!

Starting with our showers, we have two of the common English kinds in our house.  First (on the left), we have the full bathtub with the less-than-half-glass partition that doesn't block water AT ALL, which means water kind of goes everywhere when you shower (I'm especially bad with doing that for some reason!)  I'm not sure who thought this was a good idea...  Next (on the right) we have the shower that is a standard size over here, but that is really small compared to what we have back home.  It's like a little capsule you get in - you don't have any room to move around at all! 


For traveling, we have seen it all - it's a joke now that Brian has to shower first whereever we go so he can figure out how the darn thing works and teach me before my shower!  There are Power Showers, which you push a button to start.  We've had one good one, but in general these types have NO water pressure and the temperature will vary between scalding hot and freezing cold throughout your shower!  Then there are the showers that have NO privacy - we're convinced they keep them so open so the room doesn't seem so small.  You'd better know your roommate well if you have one of these!

Here are a few of the other showers we have seen - hope you enjoy (or at least chuckle a bit!)  =)
