Sun Burnt in France

Posted by in -Travel

Well no one can say I wasn’t warned. I have some good friends who live in the South of France, the Languedoc Roussillon to be exact, who had told me categorically to pack some high protection sun screen before I visited them for a holiday. Of course in the excitement of getting to the airport I forgot but as I would be seeing them in a few hours I figured I’d be alright until then. I was sure we could pick some up from a local supermarket on my arrival.

Well the minute I stepped off the plane the heat was intense, I started to sweat almost immediately. But in the first instance it was really pleasurable, after all wasn’t that what I had come to France for? My friends were late and I sat, happy as could be outside the airport waiting for them. In that mere half an hour I learnt how important sun block can be. By the time they arrived I was as pink as a lobster!
