It’s my first night on a Hotel Train. It sounds so glamorous, images of Agathie Christie pop in my head.
I meet some other Americans who tell me they chose a reclining seat reservation rather than a bed in a cabin. I decided to do the same, having already experienced a sleeping cabin on my way over. I share a melatonin with the other Americans, and fall fast asleep. A little less comfortable than the bed in the sleeping cabin, but I’m so tired after Fallas, I hardly notice.
Train Tip: If not sleeping in a cabin on a Night Train, consider bringing a blanket. With bed reservations, you’re given a blanket on the train. In the reclining seat, you have only yourself and your jacket to keep you warm. One of those airline blankets would be perfect to carry around for the trains.
