Enjoying The Sun In Eindhoven

Enjoying the sun on my shared roof terrace in Eindhoven I think back about my sunstroke a long, long time ago. I think that born and raised mostly on an island I know how to handle the sun, but nothing could be further from the truth.

Memory Lane

I go back to 5 VWO, a day out with the class. I go by boat to Klein Curaçao, a small island close to Curaçao. Seasickness, I know I suffer from that. I sit at the top of the boat where I almost don't feel the motion. But yes, on the 'larger' island of Curaçao I usually stay in the shade. I didn't need to moisturize then. I'm on the boat without a cap in a bikini and shorts without ointment. It went great on the way to Klein Curaçao!

Ouch, Ouch!

Arriving on the island there appears to be hardly any shades. The ignorance of a teenager combined with hours in the sun are not a good combination. I had a lovely swim, climbed the lighthouse, barbecued and returned by boat. But yes, the next morning in the shower all blisters and rashes on my body and an headache. To the doctor who told me I had a 1st degree heat stroke!

Advice

 The advice from the doctor was: 'Stay out of the sun and drink lots of water. This a good advice on an island with daily sun! Since then I have been careful with the sun, but I still enjoy it!
