Bathrooms in New Zealand have a sense of humor.

Public bathrooms were almost uniformly clean, plentiful, and well-maintained. They were also sometimes surprisingly humorous.

There were the public bathrooms that gave you 10 minutes, then they would unlock the door…ready or not. Then there were the ones that wouldn’t unlock and open the door unless you washed your hands.

There were murals…

paintings on the wall…

and sneaky peeking observers.

It was an adventure.
