I tried taking some pictures through the window of the train, but I think that the 

camera could not compete with the speed of the train.

This photograph is not an ancient artifact.  It is the 'potty' on which the 

child is sitting that is ancient.  Absolutely no way for that baby to get out of

that potty and he/she obviously knows it.

We did not know whose bare behind this was until we walked

Sir John Betjeman,Sir John Betjeman CBE (/ˈbɛtʃəmən/; 28 August 1906 – 19 May 1984) was an English poet, writer, and broadcaster who described himself in Who's Who as a "poet and hack". He was Poet Laureate of the United Kingdom from 1972 until his death.

From a poem by Betjeman:

But most of us turn slow to see

The figure hanging on a tree

And stumble on and blindly grope

Upheld by intermittent hope,

God grant before we die we all

May see the light as did St. Paul.

There are some fun pictures of rooms like or similar to our studio flat at the above site.  I noticed

though that there are no pictures showing how tiny the bathroom is. 

Please excuse all of the towels.

We stayed in a studio flat on the floor just below street level
