But, not even my nerdy pillowcase could force a smile out of me today, for as soon as I woke up, the mood turned sour.
Staring at me from the inner layer of the tent was the huge silhouette of a sleeping cockroach. Armed with my massive torch, I figured I'd bash it repeatedly till it was no more. What I failed to figure was the manic mess created by crushed cockroaches. (Ive been drinking all nite as I type this and let me tell you, that was not an easy sentence to repeat! However my dear old English teacher would be proud of my use of alliteration, even if it is overkill. But I digress....) Nor did I count on the streaky green blood that would be left behind.
The sight from my pillow
The result of the assault
Close up of the evil insect who dared invade my space
So I finished my assassination and decided to go for breakfast as normal. Only little did I know, the battle with the bugs was not over....
As I got out my tent, I turned to zip the hatch and saw this golden beastie....
So, while still fired up from my previous hit, I decided to continue the killing spree...
With the creature still hiding out there somewhere (possibly in my tent) my rampage came to a close (I got hungry). Beware my little insect-enemies, this battle may be over for now, but the war has only just begun. And I suppose this makes me somewhat of an awesome veteran now. Hoo-rah!!!!
Forever hunting,

Dear Captain Awesome,
I am quite bemused that, despite having visited the southern hemisphere on previous occasions, you should seem completely amazed to discover large and unattractive bugs living there.
However, as i am sure you will be aware, the good news is that there are no poisonous snakes or spiders in New Zealand, as there are in Austrailia.
Which is good news for you.
There a couple of spiders you might watch out for, which have been accidentally introduced to NZ from Oz, namely the redback and whilte tail spiders, both of which can give yo a nast bite requiring medical attention, and an extremely rare spider, the Katipo, which you will probably never see.
Cockroaches wont really do yu any harm, and you are likely to see many more in your tent.
According to the makers of Im a Celebrity Get me Out of Here, which yu are now missing, cockroaches can be safely collected, put through a liquidiser, and the resultant mess drunk like a glass of Baileys, (though I dare say it wont be as smooth), with no ill effect to the drinker.
Hope this helps.
