Tippy Toe

On this walk through nature, sometimes nature calls. It's important, if travelling with someone, that you have a lookout, should some unexpected fast walker come around the bend whilst you are in the middle of your business. Of course you also need a way to communicate the fast walker is coming around the bend with a code. We chose Tippy Toe in deference to a Seinfeld episode.

We never got to use it as you get a good feel for your position in the race to the next town. You go past people, other people go past you and on it goes.

So yesterday, after about 3km, we caught up with an older Australian couple, who from the previous day we knew were slower walkers. We stopped briefly and they continued on at the top of the hill. 

30 seconds later and about 20 metres ahead of us, I noticed them  quickly step behind a poplar. Passing a quick glance, the situation was her squatting and reaching for a roll of toilet paper, and him standing right next to her being useless. Come on, at least assume the lookout position man. Know your position and give her a chance of a private moment in nature. And not a tippy toe to be heard.
