Day 62. Paihia. Mosquitos 31 Smiths 0

Nice campsite but completely over-run with mosquitoes. We'd spent 20 minutes swatting the little twats before lights out last night so were gutted to find a gang inside the van when we woke up. I'm sure they were winking at us, dabbing the corners of their blood-soaked mouths with little napkins. Our worst fears were confirmed when we held a bite count: Dave 19 Wend 12.

God, I hate mosquitoes.

Quickly forgotten though when Wend spotted a pod of Dolphins splashing about just off the beach.

Now Dolphins, I like.

Got your christmas card, wondered when the sheep wpuld make an appearance. Is it just me or did they look nervous ?
