The pitter patter of hundreds of tiny feet

At Dolphin bay resort we slept in a fancy tent with a double bed which was about 10ft from the sea in the jungle.  This was really cool apart from being awoken in the middle of the night as Stuff felt a creepy crawly against his leg.  He heroically leaped out of bed, shouting “there’s something on me!!!” and grabbed the torch.  We looked in the bed and found three small red creepy millipedes.  Now we don’t mind bugs but don’t like sleeping with them.  We cleared them out and went back to sleep.   Stuff was promptly woken up by another one about 30 mins later. With the comedy factor wearing off and our minds convincing us we were covered in bugs, sleep did not come so easily. The following night we did a pre sleep bed check to remove any visitors, finding a couple more of the little buggers. After much pondering and a little investigation we decided they must have been making there way into bed up the valance so we tucked the valance in and formed a ring of insect repellent around the bed. Thankfully this seemed to work.
