This is another bucket list item I completed on my trip to Europe this spring. Our journey started in Paris where we toured for three days and then we boarded a train that traveled overnight to Florence, Italy. It was a slightly stressful experience, the train arrived hours later then expected because someone committed suicide by jumping in front of it at a previous destination. This cause confusion because the train changed platforms at the last minute.
Riding in a overnight train is a unique experience, six people to a small quarters, three tiered bunk beds and the disgusting bathrooms with toilets that empty onto the tracks. I didn't sleep as much as I would have liked because I found the top bunk extremely could, while others I traveled with fund the bottom bunk unbearably warm. Overall it was a fun way to travel that I hope to eventually try again.
