Sleeper Train – why the Top bunk? Wny Not
The Top bunk
provides privacy, peace and quiet and the chance to take the overhead storage
space in the berth. However…there are some let downs:
suffer from the blasts of cold air during the night. It is therefore essential
you pack a jumper…even in the hottests of countries. Nothing worse than a
summer cold during a holiday. You can also wake up extremely dehydrated!
2 – The Berth Room
light. The light goes off and you have navigate your way to the bunk. The
morning arises and suddenly the light comes on, right in front of your face. If
you wanted a wake-up alarm then the top bunk is the way to go. And why does it
always tend to have the most intense bulb?!!
3 – No window –don’t expect to enjoy the views from the bed like the beds below you. Nope…you
have to suffer the view of well…nothing! So make sure there is a window seat
somewhere you can enjoy
4 – Balance – if
you’re balance is rubbish, and your flexibility is minimal then climbing to the
top bunk could be something that should well be videoed and YouTubed. That, or
it gives you a chance to show off your military climbing techniques!!! Just put
water in-take to a minimum throughout the journey…pee breaks are the worst!!!
Enjoy your journey!
