I really can't explain my love for these cars full of beds, but there is just something about being able to get on, kick off your shoes, fall asleep in your clothes and wake up in a totally different city! And as you can see in the pictures, they give you a pillow and blanket! Does life get better? I submit that it does not... well, except taking a soft sleeper I suppose. The main difference is on a soft sleeper you have your own compartment and there are only four beds instead of six. As you can see on the hard sleeper you don't get much more privacy than covering yourself with a blanket.
I like sleeper trains. I wish America would follow suit. I would way rather take a train that I can sleep on than a plane that I have to sit through. You can go a long way in a nights sleep!
(okay, there will be one more post after this... but I don't want to overwhelm you, so I'll spread this trip out over a couple days, check back tomorrow for some more exciting adventures!)

We took hard sleepers everywhere. BUT I really liked soft sleepers too. We went on a couple really amazing ones.
Yeah, but do they wash the pillows and blankets ever? Has anyone heard of LICE? But it does sound much better than standing or sitting for that long.
Oh, Mom, that is just gross! I don't even want to think about that. But I think I would prefer the dirt pillow to the dirty floor.
