Like, the color scheme, checkout layout, and aisle sign fonts are all the same.  It&#8217;s rather unnerving really.  We had been there once before and had seen something that warranted bringing a camera with and looking a little silly.  We give you, space ship shower!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/willz.org\/hosted\/blog\/austria\/parkandshower\/IMG_0911.JPG\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/willz.org\/hosted\/blog\/austria\/parkandshower\/IMG_0911_small.JPG\" alt=\"Space ship shower\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s basically a self contained shower unit you can drop into your bathroom.  But that&#8217;s understating it considerably.  I mean, just look at the inside of this thing!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/willz.org\/hosted\/blog\/austria\/parkandshower\/IMG_0912.JPG\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/willz.org\/hosted\/blog\/austria\/parkandshower\/IMG_0912_small.JPG\" alt=\"Inside\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s got a control panel that I can only assume runs the photon torpedoes and in-shower radio.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/willz.org\/hosted\/blog\/austria\/parkandshower\/IMG_0913.JPG\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/willz.org\/hosted\/blog\/austria\/parkandshower\/IMG_0913_small.JPG\" alt=\"Control panel\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s got a main shower head built into the top and two additional shower heads offset from that.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/willz.org\/hosted\/blog\/austria\/parkandshower\/IMG_0914.JPG\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/willz.org\/hosted\/blog\/austria\/parkandshower\/IMG_0914_small.JPG\" alt=\"Shower heads\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>It also has a normal shower head that&#8217;s removable to use as a hand held sprayer.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/willz.org\/hosted\/blog\/austria\/parkandshower\/IMG_0916.JPG\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/willz.org\/hosted\/blog\/austria\/parkandshower\/IMG_0916_small.JPG\" alt=\"Sprayer\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Mary Jo thinks it looks like a CB radio for the space ship shower.  She&#8217;s crazy.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s the kicker though, there&#8217;s a built in seat with back massage sprayers!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/willz.org\/hosted\/blog\/austria\/parkandshower\/IMG_0915.JPG\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/willz.org\/hosted\/blog\/austria\/parkandshower\/IMG_0915_small.JPG\" alt=\"Seat\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>HOW AWESOME IS THAT!?!?  There&#8217;s even a foot sprayer that sits on the floor.  You just sit down, put your feet on it, and it sprays your back and the bottoms of your feet.  Mary Jo wanted to sit in there and pretend that the foot sprayer was the gas pedal for the space ship.  Then she wanted to sit in there, use the &#8220;pedals&#8221;, and talk on the &#8220;radio&#8221;.  She&#8217;s crazy.<\/p>\n<p>This thing is basically what I would consider to be manifest bliss.  If it wasn&#8217;t 1000 Euro and not easily shipped, I would buy it now&#8230;. well, Bauhaus is closed <em>now<\/em>, but you know what I mean.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today we made a little trip to grab some stuff, but we took a new and exciting way!
