So we've settled into a very relaxing routine of doing... well, nothing basically. The only time we feel we ought to be engaging the brain is in or around our bungalow. In the few days we've been here we've been told about a suspected scorpion sting (like a bee sting allegedly), and a spider bigger than your palm calmly positioned in the middle of someone's bed - having crawled inside the not-very-well secured mosquito net. To top it all, last night created great excitement amongst the residents when the French couple in the bungalow next to ours found a snake climbing up one of the supports to the balcony. We're informed by one of the locals that yes, it is indeed highly deadly! Mama Om (the eldest of our hosts) proceeded - with a big stick - to ensure the snake ceased to slither. After an almost military operation to ensure all possible modes of entry to our hut by insect, arachnid, mammal or reptile were sealed tight, we were finally able to fall asleep... Zzzzzz (Ssssssss!)
Though we feel totally at ease in our private paradise, we remind ourselves that we're never totally alone!
Namaste!
