Loo with a view: The world's toilets with the best vistas
We may not really care what our view is when we use the loo.
But maybe we should - for according to the World Toilet Organisation we spend three years of our lives on the throne.
And that fact was enough to set author Luke Barclay off on a mission to flush out the planet's best loos with a view.
Boston Bay High Camp, Washington state: Few loos with a view can beat this one near Johannesburg Mountain in the North Cascades national park
The Valley of Longevity, Ecuador: A wooden long-drop that lives up to its description, high in the Andes
Tasman Glacier, New Zealand: An aerial shot shows just how close this loo is to the edge
Mount Sinai, Egypt: The best place to see sunrise on the mountain is said to be from this toilet, where the early-morning light floods through the bamboo walls
Croagh Patrick, Ireland: This 2,501ft summit in Co Mayo, where St Patrick fasted
Mumin Papa Cafe, Japan: This ladies' loo in Akashi is built into an aquarium, so you can watch the fishes as you, erm, meditate. But beware of the inquisitive male sea turtle
Mount McKinley, Alaska: A real cool view all round near the 20,320ft summit of the highest mountain in North America
Boulder Pass Campsite, Montana: A wooden loo in Glacier National Park, with a stunning view of Agassiz Glacier
Cliff-Top Chateau, France: This 'oasis of pis' overlooks a picturesque bend in the Dordogne River
Not bad huh,just thought it was neat. ;D
