Well, the room was quite clean and the ac and fan worked, if noisily and you can't help the proximity of them to your head when sleeping in an 8 foot cube - I was so tired after so little sleep in the past few weeks that I was just happy to lie there in a comatose state until morning but no it was not to be - because if you have heard of the witchfinder general from the movie you will understand when I say that John is the mosquito finder general- if there is the slightest zzzzzzzzzzzzz! noise - he is out of bed like a mountain goat armed with a towel and he is whipping the ceiling,walls, bed, floor, companion and telling you about the mountain of blood in each squashed one- he got one big bite and he had to get the whole first aid kit out with repellent, after bite, electric clicker gadget etc - he ran down to reception and got a smoke bomb type coil he set up in the toilet, causing me to have a coughing fit and then kept the light up, sitting up to swat anything- he had to put the coil out after it nearly choked us so we spent the night in a choking fog in an 8 foot cube and for me it was like being locked up with a rabid monkey for the night as he jumped around the room effing and blinding....anyway thank god it's nearly 8 and we can get up and get out of here- the monkey has finally calmed down and is lying beside me- exhausted...he is convinced he has malaria now - I know the symptoms are definitely rabies- can't wait to get on that plane!
