30th July - Perhentian Islands


We should have left this morning but we really didn't fancy booking a ticket for an early boat and bus journey last night - especially when we were still 'bobbing' from being on boats so much recently.

Instead, we decided to spend the day doing island things - so basically going to the beach, swimming in the sea and doing very little.

After a frustrating morning of computer nonsense, we finally made it to Long Beach - and promptly fell asleep. Normally, I apply sunscreen before I go out and again when we're outside but I was fast-on before I even though about my second-coat. At least 3 hours later, I woke up very thankful that I was still in the shade. I quickly stuck on some sunscreen and spent a little time reading and swimming.

On the walk back to our room, I started noticing that a few places felt a little more tender than usual. After a shower, I assessed the damage. A few little areas were annoyingly red and sore but most embrrassingly, I realised my filtrum, eyelids and chin were all burnt - giving me the look of someone with a severe cold.
