...frank language and posh accent. The secret to nude scenes, which she says she hates, is establishing "a relationship with the director where you can say, 'Look, I'd really rather they didn't see my [British slang for private part],' or 'I've got a nasty mosquito bite on my left bum cheek. Can we not shoot that low please...
...same store also carried mosquito spray and those bug zappers that you plug into a power outlet, hoping it will kill all the mosquitoes in the room. Having been massacred by mosquitoes the night before despite smearing myself with repellent, I piled half a dozen zappers onto the counter, along with a loaf of bread, some cheese and crackers and some bottles of water.

Accommodation comes in the form of 13 two-story huts and one "deluxe suite" (actually a bungalow) - but appointments are basic, with rattan chairs and tables, and mosquito nets draped over the beds. Running water is piped in from the lush mountain range behind. "The mountain water is so clean we actually thought about bottling it," says Casalegno as he gestures up the forested slopes. Nobody seems to mind the rustic conditions - after all, the region has spas...
