Just because we got back doesn't mean the work has ended. The washing
up is a Big Part of the Process...sigh. |

09:04 What Happens after a Trip #2:
The Tripuses are thoroughly washed. Tripus is the taller one, Tripussy
is the smaller one. We forgot to bring along Monopus so she didn't
have to get washed. Why their names? Because they are cephalapods
:-) You have to be a biologist AND a film person to appreciate the
humour...sorry.

After taking care of equipment, we take care of ourselves. Wearing
booties for hours and hours has its hazards. |

It is important to replenish all repellent used in a trip. Sandflies
are among the very few creatures that even naturalists are not fond
of.

The real trick to not having sandfly bites (and all other manners
of biting and stinging insects) is not repellent, in my humble
opinion. It is to bring a sacrifice - one person who attracts
mossies, sandflies etc and VOILA! insects no more. This method
is tried and tested and has proven to win hands down!

Gawd, my sandfly scars are still itching... we tried spraying
insect repellant on a whole bunch of sandflies and they just
didn't budge. Shows how effective your repellant is, huh?

Agree most definitely to the Sacrificial Victim Approach. Usually,
it is the newest member of the team anyway who (a) hasn't learn
to bring his/her own repellent (b) hasn't learnt where to spray
(i.e., EVERY exposed bit of skin including behind the ears)
or (c) is just plain tasty to bugs. I think it's fair. Most
definitely. |

09:41 What Happens after a Trip #11 (last):
ONLY after everything is properly taken care of can we take some well
deserved Z'ss. There is only one hammock at Base Camp, and use by
all crew is strictly rostered...it's MY turn now... |
