InterRail Soap series part 6: The bloopers continue even further

"5) First Night train experience
After one night and a second day in Bordeaux, we continued our train travel to Lisbon, Portugal. In Irun (French-Spanish border) we got on our first night train. We booked a 6 persons couchette so we had to share our compartment with 4 other people. We were excited what kind of people these would be. Soon we heard a African woman shouting to her kids. We hoped that they would pass our compartment. And they did… After a while, 4 young noisy people entered our compartment. Oh my god, we thought… oh… and they were Dutch too :S

Alcohol, music… it’s going to be a long night we thought… And then… After a while an young (black) African man with white teeth, came to us to say hello. He was Dutch too, AND he lives in the same place where Dirk and I come from. ACTUALLY, in the same street as where I used to live! Is the world that small? Coincidence?

At 2am, the six of us were finally trying to sleep. Suddenly at around 3 in the night, the person who slept on the ‘top floor’ in our compartment, jumped out of his bed and ran out of our compartment. He was throwing up in the corridor. Could you imagine what a mess it would have been if he didn’t jumped out of bed?

Thank god, at 9m the boys got off the train in Coimbra, so Dirk and I had another 3 hours to get some sleep…
