Itchy itchy, scratchy scratchy - Our first Encounter with Bed Bugs

First pathetic news from the tropics: we have checked out of our first guest house and into a hotel already. There was a massive infestation of some kind of bed bugs. As we didn’t fancy the prospect of being eaten alife by the bed bugs we politely pretended to reception that we are off to Singapore for a few evenings (as opposed to the bright, shiny hotel across the road). So much for roughing it and being tough backpackers… 🙂
