The lessons of suntan lotion . . .
Breakfast with linn and I packed and got a taxi to hotel boulevard. Purely because I want to pamper myself. With what I've got coming ahead, I want as much time in a room of my own and a bed that doesn't hurt my back, a place where the electricity is always on and a pool to sit by and jump in.
Walked into town after the move and asked about more safaris. Can't recall anything particular interesting happening here.
So I went to my temp home and swam, sunbathed, cross stitched and got myself burnt(details to come later)
I noticed after a bit handwashing and shower the time, so I went back into town and booked the only amboseli tour I could find for this week with four others. Also on this town trip I purchased some flip flops as mine are my silly thailand ones with balls, dolphins and shells, which have decided to rub.
I popped to my new local cafe called healthy delicacies, and got my ususal cuppa and sweet potato. But today I had an added fried banana, I was so ripped off yesterday being a banana down. But I got the food to take away and ate it in a park, but was shocked when I took a bite out of the banana as it didn't taste like a banana, so as people were watching me I realised I cant discreetly spit it out, just wasn't an option, so I spat it out back into the bag, and tried again, it tastes like a regular dried out baked potato you can have at home. So after I was over the shock I was able to eat it, but it just was weird as the taste and look didn't match.
On return to the hotel I brought my washing in off the painted wall thing outside my window, only to find that they hadnt cleaned the wall and have a coating of mud dust, but not to worry, clean clothes aren't priority.
I decided to have another cold shower to cool down and discovered that the job of the suntan lotion application I had done that morning, was done really badly.
I didn't do my right arm(probably because I was holding the bottle in that hand) so I have finger smears of white skin going into my red right arm from the shoulder section. I just musta decided not to do my chest, I'm burnt around my bikini outline and the tops of my feet. Oh the feet many a mistake I make with them and not proper application. The red forehead and nose are still shining of course.
I also saw my first cat today.
Oh haha the worst sunburn, I burnt my arm pits, so they will be nice and brown soon.
For the night I wasn't feeling sociable, I'm liking just spending some time to myself. So I took my airport mags down to the bar, and had a cuppa. Grouped together at the bar was all the white people, young and old couples, a group of old irish men, a couple of couple of girls. But I just wasn't in the mood to join. So after an hour or so popped meself up to me room, an cleaned my left arm as all the print off the paper mag, well non gloss one had smudged on my whole forearm.
It took me about 4hours to get to sleep as I was starving but there was nothing I could do about it as it was too late, so I must buy snacks tomorrow.xx
