Well, last night was certainly an experience…
I woke up at around 1 am and drowsily turned over. It took about a minute for my eyes to adjust, but I could just make out a black blob right next to me on the bed. Assuming it was my camera, I turned the light on to put it back on the table.
To my shock and horror there beside me on the bed sat a….
COCKROACH.
Honestly, I have never felt sheer panic like it. It is definitely the fastest I have ever moved as I reached the door within milliseconds. During this time the cockroach had made a similar plan and had disappeared from sight. After about 5 minutes I had stopped hyperventilating and formulated a plan- there was no way I was getting back into bed with that big b***** on the loose. I found my flip-flop and started moving very cautiously towards the table. I found my torch and very carefully peered around the whole room- but it was no-where to be seen. I knew what this must mean and I dreaded it. I very gingerly knelt down to peer under my bed, flip-flop raised at the ready. Of course, there, looking me straight in the eye was the cockroach. I felt a real animal connection as we both decided who was going to act first. It turned out the roach was braver and made a dash for it right past where I knelt and up the wall behind my head. But, I have to proudly admit, siblings train you to have lightening reflexes to avoid things such as water bombs, and this came into use as I thwacked the little b*****'s arse into its face.
So to finalise, I now have a disgusting, but very satisfying giant coach spat on my wall. I know the hotel charges for soiled bedding, but will I have to pay for a soiled wall? Even if I do, I shall pay with pride!
Though whether my flip-flop will ever recover is debatable…
