Broken Wing - the Nits

One of my favourite travel songs is Broken Wing by the Dutch group The Nits. The lyrics remind me of a trip I took to Turku and Helsinki, and it is nice to think that we all have a guardian angel who travels with us. I can assure you that my guardian angel has saved my ass on numerous occassions.

BROKEN WING

From Stockholm to Turku on a Christmas Eve

Once upon a time, a long long time ago, I traveled from Stockholm to Turku on a Christmas Eve. The boat trip was included in my InterRail ticket, and the first thing I noticed was that there were no real cabins, just some compartments where you could sleep. The night boat had a reputation with party people, but what I experienced that night went beyond my wildest imagination.

Everybody looked drunk, people were making love in their compartment (it looked like a train compartment but without doors or other means of privacy) and you can imagine I didn't sleep a wink.

Outside it was freezing cold, but inside it was hot like hell

And you, what is your most memorable boat trip?
