Looks like I’m a hit with the ladies again…

So, we’re a week in and my leg bite count is thus:

  • Left Leg: 11 hideous bites
  • Right Leg: 14 hideous bites

This is a new record that has surpassed both Wales and Scotland (and we all know how vicious Scottish midges can be!).

I’ve been using Smidge so far, which is a non-DEET application, but I may have to move to DEET tomorrow, otherwise my risk of Dengie Fever goes up.

Either way, Rebecca and I have had a confab tonight over a few beers, and the up shot is that we’ll not be moving to Costa Rica!

To be honest, I think she’s a little jealous of the attention I getting from the ‘fairer’ sex!

After a slightly crazy suggestion by me in the pub just after we bought our first house about 5 years ago that we should ‘just quit everything and go travelling for a year’ we got a bit more realistic (not least because of COVID) and eventually landed on 4 1/2 months in Central and South America. This website is the outcome of those musings down the pub and hopefully our ensuing adventures!
