Surprise! Train from Zagreb to Ljubljana


There was a college aged Croatian, an elderly gentleman and me seated in the six-seat compartment on the train. It looked like a safe place to put in my headphones, close my eyes and take a quick nap on my way to Ljubljana. Apparently, I should have focused on closing my eyes a little more…

I was seated with my left arm resting on the closed glass enclosure to our compartment and my head gently positioned on the right headrest. When I heard a significant and consistent commotion occurring between the window on my right and me, I opened my eyes (MISTAKE!) and was welcomed back to civilization by the older gentlemen facing out the window wearing nothing but his underwear! Immediately my head shot back as my eyes fired at the other guy in the compartment. I was greeted with the non-verbal, but universally translated “I have no idea what is going on!” look. Thankfully, the older gentlemen put new shorts and a shirt on and the train proceeded onward. Good thing, I am pretty sure the border patrol expects you to be clothed when they check your passport.
