The nights when it was difficult to sleep...

On this tour, there were 3night when it was difficult for me to sleep.

The first night was the night when I stayed at a hotel in Copenhagen.
The hotel was located next to the park with the statue of the Little Mermaid.
I expected the atmosphere around the hotel to be quiet, but I was absolutely wrong, because the room where I stayed faced on to the train tracks.
From the window of my room, I could see the trains right in front of my nose, and they passed by every 5 minutes all day long, even at night !
At first, I was frozen to the spot with surprise and disappointment, but in the end I laughed at myself, and enjoyed the night.

The second was the next night when I got the night train.
I reserved the ticket for it in Japan, and it was very comfortable train as you were in the hotel, but...When I arrived at the platform on Bienna station, I saw a small old train.
I asked a station attendant, showing him my ticket, just to make sure it was the night train, and he said yes..." Really ?!"
When the 6th passenger came in to our compartment, there was an announcement that the departure of our train would be delayed by 1 hour.
We waited for the train to move, but in the end, we made our own beds, and I went up the top of the berth. After we had passed our pasports to the guard, one of the passengers locked our compartment. It was a little stuffy, but in the end, I went to sleep.

The third was the night I saw a mouse in the room where I was staying.
One night, when I had gone to bed, I heard a sound in the dark.
The people who lived in this house had told me there had been the mouse in the kitchen since the person who kept a cat moved, but my room was OK.
At first, I thought the sound was someone's footsteps, but it kept going for a long time....
I turn the light on, then a mouse ran out of the paper bag which I was using as a trush bag and rushed into a hole in the wooden wall !
"Aaagh!!!!!"
In the end, I kept turning the light on untill the next morning. Whew.....!
