Where is the strangest place you have slept?
'lardaholics anonymous' was bored and started a new question over in the old question, so the least we can do is make it official. What with New Year's celebrations coming up, asking for the strangest place you have slept is nicely appropriate too.
In case you are wondering, Portsmouth beach in the fog. Very strange waking up to that.

When I was a young 'un
(I was about 9, I think) My family, I forget how and why, found ourselves on a train in Germany. We had legitimate tickets, but no reserved seating. But we took a more or less empty table and sat around it, hoping that the people who had reserved it for a stop a long way away would forget, or something. As the journey wore on the train filled up neatly and we awiated the ominous stop in trepidation. Eventually it came, and sure enough we were ousted. We managed to secure 2 seats in another carriage, but there being 5 of us, this was less than ideal. My parents took the chairs and left the three children to fend for ourselves. I found myself in the little space for luggage between two sets of chairs. After playing a fantastic game where I stuck my hand through the gap to the chairs going "wibblewibblewibble" with the two German women trying to catch it before I pulled it back in, I curled up and took a nap. I woke up with a suitcase being rammed into my side and a German man who was either angry, confused or apologetic (not speaking German it was tricky to know what his feelings were, really)
