Travels in a Tin Can

and over the next three months it continued to raise a smile because all the
person not using the toilet could see was a head, shoulders and knees poking
out of the cupboard. The 'user' had to reverse bottom first into the cupboard,
as it was barely wide enough for our shoulders, let alone to turn around in. It
was certainly not deep enough to be able to close the door once occupied.
Interestingly Zak remarked: 'you will want to move the toilet somewhere more
private when you use it'. Where exactly? We wondered as we glanced around
our cramped quarters, under the bonnet of the van perhaps? So it stayed
where it was and the cupboard became the place where we 'made our toilet'
(as the Americans put it).
In addition to these luxurious built-in facilities we were also provided
with a toaster and pots and pans and a bucket, broom, dustpan and brush.
We paid extra to have two "comfort" packs included as well. These contained
bedding, crockery and silverware and a torch. Unfortunately they did not
contain pillows, so that was not very comfortable! This problem was rectified
the day after we picked up the van and a phone call to Zak confirmed that the
company would reimburse us for some pillows, we just had to go and find
some to buy. This done we were ready to embark on our adventure with
Harvey.
