I'll follow you then!
Some interesting bits of infomations there, but we still haven't got to the 'turtles' head of the questions.
Is there any bog roll in the aveage Moroccan poo poo parlour?
And a crime worse than anything is highwaymaning away the toilet roll from an already lacking facility. Shame on you......

Its even worse if you're touching cloth with a squirril's head popping out for his nuts... especially if you cant find a suitable place to to stop and unload!
Believe me I was caught out a few years back with no bog roll and a deli belly... (pants were used in emergancy to swipe and wipe)  .. and before you ask yes I did bin them afterwards!!
I always carry bog roll / tissue nowadays...

To answer your question: if it's upmarket hotel or likely to be used by foreign tourists then yes. Some basic hotels give you a roll with your room key.
If not or a basic roadside cafe then less likely.
Not need to bring more than 1 bog roll (until you get the runs).
Just harvest from toilets/hotels + resto napkins as you go.

Well, thats an interesting morning of enlightenment. 1 (semi sacred) bog roll and a few packs of tissues added to the list.
Thanks for the 'interesting comments'.
I was a tad worried about riding around with a 12 pack of bum wad strapped to the top of the top box. That woud not look like a seasoned traveller and would create far too many diversionary questions.
It would look very funny though!!!!!
