Yesterday we were one of five identically sized river cruise ships in Regensburg at the same time. I don't know how many cruise lines have how many ships plying these waters but there are a lot. So with five ships of almost two hundred people each, that is a lot of folks in a relatively small part of a relatively small town. Needless to say we had a disruptive effect on the life of the residents. But I was glad to see the town.
Public restrooms are few. So when we passed one many of us took the opportunity to use the facilities. To turn on the water to the faucet in the lav you positioned your foot over a sensor in the floor. It wasn't intuitive for me but once you figured it out, it made sense.
While on technology, the door between our stateroom and our bathroom is a sliding door. I have a particular distaste for them because they usually work so poorly. I have to reappraise my opinion. This door will not slam. Close it as hard as you like and mechanism catches the door, slows it to walk and gently eases it closed. Don't quite close it and that same mechanism grabs it and brings it the rest of the way closed. Very nice.
