Sleeper trains

June 18th, 2009 by callum · 4 Comments · Greece, haha

I’ve always wanted to sleep on a train but I don’t really like courgettes!!!!

DO I REALLY HAVE TO EAT COURGETTES?????!!!!!

WHY I WANT TO SLEEP ON A TRAIN:

  1. I am look­ing for­ward to wak­ing up in Venice!
  2. I am look­ing for­ward to sleep­ing in a triple deck­er bunk! (it’s not often I get to sleep in a bunk bed let alone a triple deck­er one)
  3. I want to wake up in a dif­fer­ent country!
  4. I want to have break­fast on a train look­ing at the scenery and names of sta­tions I can­’t pronounce!

The reas­on I’ve not said this about a boat is because I’ve already slept on a boat two years ago but I’ve nev­er slept on the deck of a boat in a hot country!

    1. You will wake up long before you get to Venice (if you drop off at all that is).

    2. The prob­lem with a triple deck bunk is that it’s a long way down if you do drop off.

    3. The first thing you’ll notice is that it smells dif­fer­ent. Really. You’ll be hit by the aro­mat­ic plants in the hot­ter cli­mate: give it a few hours and you won’t notice any­more, but it’s nice to wake up to.

    4. Breakfast on the train sounds nice. We’re get­ting the sleep­er to Avignon this year and we get break­fast in the sta­tion (ok) as the train arrives just before 6am (not so ok).

    When you’re in Italy, you’ll have to eat zucchini.
