The only flooding in Bamburg

We were told on our tour this morning that it never floods in Bamburg..... well, we have a different tale to tell! Early this morning, I woke up and went to the ladies - as you do and it wouldn't flush - well, it's not a flush toilet, it's a sort of vacuum type that they have on boats. I tried a couple of times and nothing, but it did make a terrible gurgling sound. Eventually the contents disappeared, but it was still gurgling. I pressed the button a few times as any good lay person plumber would do, but nothing! So, I sat on the closed toilet lid whilst drying my hair and water started gushing out of the toilet - GUSHING! Just a small potential electricutian problem.... I called reception and the little lady down there - who appears to have only worked onboard for about 5 minutes said that she would call the engineer. I reiterated that it was GUSHING. 5 minutes of gushing later, still nothing - Jen raced to the corridor and found Eva, our cabin steward and called her in - she raced down to the get help and then returned with towels and the apparent knowledge that if you press the button enough times, it will eventually stop. Eva didn't look happy - and nor should she have! Jen and I left her to deal with the flooding and headed for breakfast. We asked the little lady what was going to happen with the engineer and she said that she had called him and he was just waking up! Thank goodness for Eva and her plumbing knowhow! When we came back from breakfast - it was like nothing had happened - chocolates were purchased and placed upon our bed for Eva.
