You woke up with somebody's foot in your mouth in Sudan?!! Ewwwww!!! I bet travelling on the roof of the carriages was great with the views as well but, gee, you wouldn't want to roll over while you were sleeping at night. Robert

I can imagine your eyes going wide open while observing your friend farting into the soldier's face... Oh my... And the good shit thing... Incredible, Razz, you are a star, definitely! Are you writing this book of yours yet or what? You need to do it soon, mate, really! On the Planetross' note: I remember travelling with train in 80' in Sudan with everybody, including me, just sleeping on the floor or wherever, since it was so crowded, and the ride went on for a number of days. The first night I woke up with somebody's bare foot inside my mouth. Soon after I decided to continue my travel on the roof and spend the next four (or was it five..) days on the roof of the train. Which was where the real party was going on... Oh, the crazy days... Ha ha ha ha, this one made my day.

I can't believe how many stories you have. I like the reference to your blog title in this writing. You had me nervous early when you said the "Pommy drug smuggler". I'm glad that you weren't referring to me. You weren't, right? Hiya Razz! I’ve missed you!

You certainly had me laughing! You know, some of us in our older years are wise enough not to talk about some of the things we did back in "those were the days". I'm still trying to work out how your friend sorted things out in the bathroom of the train. I'll probably wake up thinking about that in the middle of the night. Dirty fingernails, indeed!

(2 were sleeping up in the baggage racks and one woman was holding twins. The 2 people in the luggage rack even scared the ticket punching guy.
