    But harmless.


    Harmless,:eek: they are blood suckers, have you ever been bitten by one of them. You'd never say they were harmless again.

    Besides, when i said Lizard i actually meant Komodo Dragon.

    ;)

    PMSL at the thought of a Komodo Dragon on the ceiling of a hotel bedroom. :eek:

    Totally off-topic - the last few times we've been to Greece & Turkey we've hardly seen any geckos at all.
    These used to be all over the walls & ceilings, eating mosquitos.
    I was always very happy to see one of those take up residence in my room. ;)

    Me too! We can only re-assure other travellers to Vietnam that they ought not to be at risk from a Komodo Dragon attack since they are only native to Indonesia! One can only assume that the specimen that terrorised Mr Powers and his children had in fact escaped from a private collection somewhere! :D

    But harmless.

    Bed bugs carry 24 known pathogens, hepatitis B and cause severe allergic reactions in some people. Would you be happy being bitten by something that sucked on the last person to stay in that room (plus the person before and the person before et al) because thats what they are doing.

    You refer to a "tour" how many nights were you in this particular hotel ?
    The amount you are quoting for total cost -did this include the flights as well?
    The reason I'm asking is to estimate what proportion of the costs the compensation is to be able to comment on if it's fair compensation or not

    Two nights in that hotel and I checked minimum for the hotel is 68 euro...no flight included
    For me I think at least a day of a trip should be compensate,coz of all the things been through and I did nothing but sleeping on the next day
    And this email sounds to me is like I am lying and those bugs definitely r bed bugs if bugs comes from window the bugs would be all over the room
    Money is not the essential point but proper apologies should be stated on the mail... And bed bugs r harm...I still got the bugs mark all over my arms...its disgusting
