This is post is about the shower, not a shower - THE SHOWER. If you have travelled around camp-sites in Australia then you will have been confronted with a range of showering solutions which vary widely and owe their heritage to many a bygone era.
However since our first initiation to the humble shower block in the UK and its French counterpart it has become clear that this is where the foundation of IKEA has been forged. It is as if one salesman has sold the entire industry on a flatpack model of shower cubicle. There is probably an obscure village in Outer Mongolia dedicated to prefabricating shower cubicles for Europe.
As part of this package comes the all-in-one shower head with a push-button actuator designed to expire whenever your eyes are filled with shampoo or whenever you have soap in hand and the other arm raised.
Considering they are all of the same heritage their performance can vary widely - some require an almost ferocious attack on them in order to keep the water flowing, while others conspire to lull you into a false sense of complacency, waiting until you are distracted by that warm stream of water flowing over your body - before dribbling to a splutter.
We await the Spanish interpretation of the water torture we anticipation.
