Hi GillyW yes we got home eventually late Wednesday but had to fly into Luton !!! Kids ok now.We found up in the bungalow the mozzies were about in the day,think we were better down where we were.We are back 19th August till 2nd Sept but think we just miss you.Going to try your walk up the path off Main Street through the olive grove will let you know how we get on.

 Bad news for Mythos drinkers!!! According to The Mail today mosquitoes are more attracted to beer drinkers!!
 Not only that they also prefer people with group O blood and sweaty feet.So,as a non beer drinking,group A blood type with permanently
 cool feet I know now why I rarely get bitten,hooray!!

Well I don't know how true this is - but I still haven't had one Mossie bite in 30 years of San Stef, while others around me had been a mozzies lunch.
I do have a less common bloodgroup and I take anti-histamines - but I do like a beer - so how do you explain it?
The annoying thing is that I walk the dogs in my local park - - - I walk through clouds of Gnats at certain times and pick up occasional Gnat bites
- so whatever the Mozzies don't like - the Gnats do!!

I guess you must be one of the lucky ones that mosquitoes ignore,or it could be that after 30 years they've got so used to you they treat you like an old friend.

tonyco1:
No - they still buzz around me but never feed off me - - not sure why - - same in every country - - I felt sure they would bite in India etc - but no!!
Linda does get a few bites each year though.... so they are around...
