Sun, sand, sea and sandflies
we had a full 5 days at the overwater sunset villa. the sun was great, i left with a great tan with no sunburns without sunscreen on my body (except for my face of course). however the programs were few and repetitive for 5 days so we only went snorkeling for 3 days. we were in the ocean and private pool so much we didn’t want to soak in the gorgeous and plenty big bath tub in the villa. our camera roll have so many photos of the clean villa, variety of food served during meals and marine creatures in fhr ocean. but our memories will forever remember the 100 sandfly bites on our legs (mostly). i highly suspect it’s from the beach right in front of the restaurant as we were drawing in the sand after lunch on day 2. i slapped one with blood when i finally noticed a few flying at my legs and clearly thinking it wasn’t a mosquito. there were no mosquitoes at the finolhu villa. day3 morning we woke up to the craziest itch and saw the horrible bites on both our legs (mostly). on day4, even the staff commented that it was the worst she has ever seen. by day5, my partner’s bites (no less that 60 on her) developed into weeping blisters and were double the original size (she has more sensitive skin). for a lady, i worry that her beautiful fair legs may be forever scarred from the bites as they are still recovering from the bites at day6 now.
