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.

Twas at a bus station.....in Venezuela. After a hellish bus journey, lasting about 40 hours, in which 3 of the buses broke down and we were forced to hitchhike in the jeeps of the national guard, we were forced to stop at a bus station for a significant time while we waited for a connection.
The bus driver from our previous bus very kindly found us a room to lock our bags in, so without further ado we proceeded to lay out our sleeping bags upon the concrete, and settled down for a sleep.
I was awoken by the coughing of the rest of the group, and one member (who had been in the army) shouting "Don't worry guys, it's only CS gas!" It turned out a gruop of security guards had seen fit to try and move us on, and after we had failed to understand their ramblings in Spanish (I'm told I slept thruogh all this) decided to gas us out.
So, not only the strangest place I've slept, but most definately the strangest way I've woken up.
