ferocious, blood sucking....Beasts.
buy your repelent here, it works the best.
al of us here in NZ have their own mixtures, when I go to the West Coast
I popp into the nearest Supermarket, buy a small Baby Oil bottle and a bottle of DETTOL ..desinfectend
mixe the both 50:50 and shortly, when I arrive at the Cost I smear it all over me...I tell you, the stuff stinks....which is the result.
Sandflies don't like it and I don't blame'm.
many top it all with a good dosage of Vit.B caps, that intensevies the whole procedure..and don't try to kill one.... they come in the thousends to they're Mates funeral.

take warm clothes, water, first aid kit and tell someone, where you will be going, when back !!I know I do repeat myself, but can't stretch this warning far enough. every year tourist and travellers alike get lost in the vastness of the southern alps.
I am not kidding
