Mosquitoes

Yes we have mosquitoes in Oz but nowhere near as bad as here. There are mosquitoes everywhere. You can walk through a whole swarm of them at night. Apparently they don't bite.

Well I'm OK cause they don't like my blood. Barbara on the other hand had welts all the time. They were amazing. It didn't matter what she did they would find her.

My advice is:
Use a DEET insect repellent
Sleep under a mosquito net
If possible choose air conditioned accommodation
wear long sleeves and trousers
use coils
spray your room with insect repellent before each time you leave.
