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.

nazi townwas backpacking with a few chums around europe back in day, and we got in the habit of simply jumping on whatever train looked nice, and getting off at random stations. anyway, rome was a bit crowded one day, so we decided to jump on the first train headed south for the night. after a couple of hours, its getting pretty dark, so we decided to jump off at the next station and find a place to camp in what must have been somewhere just north of naples. as the evening's only train pulls away behind us, we're greeted with swastikas graffitied on every wall, and italian slogans like 'NATO go home, we'll kill the kosovans ourselves'. unperturbed by this due to extreme fatigue, we pull up our backpacks, and fall asleep on the sea wall of the fishing port the town was built around, only to be woken about three hours later by some irate fisherman. visual inspection of the town the next morning took us round to the local market, where mussolini wine was on sale next to jewish passports from the 1930's, and official nazi pin badges from the war. scary, scary place.
come to think of it, there's tons of stories about sleeping in weird places just from this one holiday. might post some more...
