Bread by the kilogram, seats on toilets

Certainly many things have stood out for me over the last few weeks Chris and I have spent in Europe. Many of these I've already mentioned and some that I haven't.



One that I haven't was a way we saw bread being sold in Germany - by the kilo! These loaves of bread were huge, at least 30 cm in diameter and very dark. They were sold as cheese would be - in wedges, by weight. I can't remember what the per kilo price was, but very interesting.



Another thing that needs to be mentioned given last year's blog is the WC/toilet situation. I didn't once have to hover due to an absent seat. Maybe this is a central Europe thing I don't know, but last year (especially in Spain) I was surprised if there was a seat!
