Latest concern was sparked by Becki (my daughter) alerting me to the fact that there are killer bees in Costa Rica. Have googled and discovered a wide range of advice including the fact that (if attacked) hiding in water is not a good idea as the bees wait for you to come up for breath, which I thought was pretty brainy! Apparently the best action to take is to run as fast and as far as possible covering as much of your head as you can. 200 yards should do it. To be honest I'll keep running!!
If, instead, we find ourselves being chased by a crocodile the best thing to do is to run fast but not in a straight line as they can't change direction very quickly...... sounds like logical and good advice.
In the meantime our lovely Spanish neighbours have sorted the leak and we've rented the house out!
