Le Grande Tour De L'Europe: Night Train

Well I will say that the night train was without a doubt the craziest 14 hours of my life. It was the only part of our trip that I don't think I would do over again; it was hell!! We found out before we boarded the train that we would be delayed three hours because a tunnel was closed in Switzerland, then were were delayed another three hours because someone died on the train, then we were delayed another hour because one of the stupid Hawaiians pulled the fire alarm. The train cars were incredibly small but managed to sleep six people. I ended up in a car with John David, Armon, Claudia, Aaron, and Josh. Everyone kept staggering back and forth to the bar car to quench their thirst; I can't quite remember what they ordered though. The train attendants ended up sleeping in a room of French passenger women... I accidentally mistook the sink for a urinal at one point, but I wasn't the only one. I slept on the top bunk. The window was open all night and we nearly froze to death.
