Most people have heard of the Bucket List, a list of things you want to have achieved before you die. Well there's mine on the right side of the screen. I thought this blog would be a fun way to document each item as I accomplish it, and hear others opinion's on my Bucket List items. If anyone ever finds my little blog, feel free to leave comments, I'd love to hear from you. It would amaze me to have people decided to follow it!

57. Travel On An Overnight Train

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.
