Rollin', rollin'

I love sleeping on the train.

It's certainly not because the gentle rhythm of the train lulls me to sleep; there's nothing gentle about it at all.  Sleeping on the train is bouncy and noisy.  There's even a net on the top bunk to prevent one from being flung to the floor.

But I love the adventure of travelling miles in my sleep; of the train slipping like a burglar through unsuspecting towns at night.  I love to wake up when the train stops in the middle of the night and watch sleepy people get on and off as they start or end their travels.  And I love waking up in the morning to see a totally different landscape outside the window.

Next week ...
