Mr. Mouse

Yesterday we had our first serious encounter with intruders in our hotel room! This happened in Hanoi, Vietnam where we are now. We had been sleeping for an hour when Katja woke up when she heard a water bottle fall down from our bedside table. She thought she saw Lili moving as well, woken up by the sound of the bottle. A few minutes later Katja heard some scratching sounds. The she undestood that Lili was still fast asleep and what she first thought had been Lili moving was actually a mouse on the nightstand. That's when Lili woke up by Katja's reaction to the mouse.

We searched the room but couldn't find the mouse anywhere. We even started doubting ourselves and weren't anymore sure that we had actually seen a mouse. So our plan was to forget about the mouse and fall back asleep. A few minutes later we heard some noises and were convinced that the mouse hadn't left our room. Then we did a new search and saw some mouse poop in the room. That's when Katja jumped into Lili's bed and we decided to try to sleep with the lights on. Well it didn't work! This time it was Lili's turn to freak out as she saw the mouse running on Katja's bedframe. Until this moment we thought we would be safe in our beds. As this was not the case we needed a new plan! We tricked the mouse to go the bathroom and then we closed the door assuming it would be trapped there. The mouse did not like this and it started to gnaw the door. We could already see the mouse through the hole in the door and got scared! We figured out that we needed a plan C!

Lili was left in the room alone to keep an eye on the mouse as Katja ran downstairs to the reception to get some help. It took a while before she could wake the receptionists up (as it was already 3am and the people here are really heavy sleepers) but finally a young guy came to our rescue! He came to the room, asked for a plastic bag and just grabbed the mouse and killed it. It was over in five seconds!

Rest in peace Mr. Mouse!
