Rum Ba Ba

Woke up at 3am to the sound of dripping water coming through the ceiling. Got my torch and saw some delightful brown liquid and immediate thoughts were of sewage so I leapt into action and moved everything out of the way. However in doing so I detected a distinct smell of alcohol !!
Very strange so I held my hand out underneath the drips ... and then bravely tasted it ... RUM !!
How lucky am I ... staying in a mud hut with rum on tap but where was it coming from ??
The next morning the mystery was solved when I found out that another guy was staying in th loft above me and he had tripped over a bottle of rum in the night and sent it spilling through the floorboards.
The nativ indian family found the whole episode very amusing and it was with lots of smiles and laughter that I said my goodbyes.
