By the time we got to bed last night, it was 12:45 am.
I love sleeping on the train. The mattress is firm; the sheets are smooth and cool; there's a little tray behind the pillow for my glasses and my phone; and there is webbing to stop me from falling out of bed if there is a particularly exuberant bounce. Granted, climbing down the ladder in the middle of the night to use the bathroom is a bit of a challenge.
I awoke sometime in the night to what sounded like Room Service pushing a cart along the corridor outside our room. It took me a few seconds to realize that it was simply the sound of the train on the tracks.
Sitting in our room watching the trees and the water go by is a little bit like being at a cottage in the woods. Tom says it feels like camping. In both cases, there's less freedom to move around, but better food.
There's also no WiFi, so it may be days before I post this.
Fresh air stop at Hornepayne about 4:45 pm, still two hours behind schedule.

Arrived in Winnipeg this morning a half hour ahead of schedule! And there's WiFi!
