One night at the hotel...

Why is it that the best hotels in Africa labour under the delusion that mosquito nets are not needed? Do they think their high prices are as much of a deterrent to the local insects as to the local population?

Apart from the period-style, very upmarket, 4 poster bed places, I have yet to see a good hotel in malarious areas with bed nets as standard. Perhaps in hotter climates than Kigali people never open the windows, using only the air con. But the Novotel here has stuffy rooms, no air-con and no bed nets!

Result: After one night with the Bf in his room, I have many huge ugly red welts on my back making it seem like I have some disease. Makes me wonder if there was a mozzie in the room or a small sized rat!
