Bite count so far - Martyn up to 6 and Kay on 4 but Kay is winning as her entire left hand looks like a puffball and that is after anti histamine, just got wedding ring off in time!
In Borneo a student developed what became known as "the leech walk" here we are going for "the mosquito slap". The start of this was a little stressful as Martyn thought I was just randomly slapping him on the back which he didn't like much. All was forgiven when I peeled one of the little blighters off his shirt to show him. We've allowed each other free slapping rights until we leave !
I think the funniest thing was Martyn searching the tent for them after we scrambled in last night. Sensible locals have bug spray for their tents. Doh.
Martyn is disgruntled as three of them appear to have got him through his shirt! Of course , given afore mentioned slappin rights, this is my fault. He's gone off to brave the shower as he figures his smell might be attracting them more. Personally, I'm not going out there, ever, it's quite nice sat here watching the ibis through my mosquito net and laughing at the occasional proboscis that pokes hopefully through.
Aha he's back and apparently there is hot water now is that worth getting out the tent for ? It's a tough one.....
