Update on Lumut

Firstly an edit to Gary's Lumut blog. He neglected to tell you about our very interesting night visitor! First night in apartment we slept really well but awoke in the morning to a pile of shredded rubber by the door inside the living room? No evidence of anything else inside until we came to eat our bread for breakfast only to find a smallish section had been neatly removed from inside the plastic package. Further investigation showed that "something" had shredded a large section of the rubber seal at the bottom of the veranda doors. "I'll fix that" says Gary so the following night he pushes a thick doormat under the door to block the hole and spends most of the night tryIng to stay awake waiting for said intruder - was it monkey, rat or what? Next morning, having witnessed nothing during the night, we awoke to find not only more shredded rubber but also shredded mat this time OUTSIDE the doors. (embarrassed about ruined mat). Next night Mcgiver puts large pieces of cardboard through slot, which is by now almost 2 doorways wide, bends the cardboard up inside the room, closes curtains and places a chair in front to secure all in place. KT, owner, suggests we leave outside light on as a deterrant as well. Unable to sleep however, that falls by the wayside and next morning we have a pile of cardboard but no entry. The fix stays in place till we leave and KT determines with a little chuckle that it must have been a rat. (Hell it was destructive, determined and must have had huge teeth). Just thought this should be shared as another experience throughout our travel. Hope the mcgiver fix is made more permanent before next traveller arrives! Yes, I am sure it will be..............
