Last night we caught an overnight sleeper train to Berlin.  First we travelled to Paris by Eurostar and then went to the Gard de Este station.  The train arrived on time and we went to our allocated sleeper, a 2 berth sleeper with a washbasin in the corner.  
There was no dining car or anything like that on board the train.  The conductor had a very limited selection of food and drink.  Baguettes with egg only and some beer and wine.  So, it was good that we bought stuff with us.  We settled into our cabin and read for a while and then went to sleep. 


I took a while to go off to sleep as the train went very fast and rocked and rolled a lot.  I didn’t think I was going to able to sleep but the next thing I knew it was about 5am.  The train apparently stopped at some stations during the night but I slept through it all. We woke up this morning and the conductor bought us our breakfast, hot coffee, juice, muffin and some bread and cheese spread.

We are still swaying frin the train motion every now and then.  It was a very fast train and rocking and rolling motion was very noticable. When the train went around a bend you slid along the bed in that
direction and then when it went the other way you slid back the other way.
