Writer’s Workshop- Sunburned White Water Rafting
 |
| White Water Rafting at Cagayan De Oro,Philippines |
Last December during our trip to Philippines we tried out White Water Rafting. It was the 2nd time that I have been rafting. The first was when I was still a student in Australia. We went rafting in Cairns then during one of the summer vacations that we had.
The sun didn’t look that hot that day and I had forgotten to slap on my sunblock. It wasn’t scorching hot and there were no signs that after the 4 hour rafting trip I would return back to the hotel looking like a cooked lobster and suffer from the after effects of sunburn for a whole week!!
This was my ” good friend” which provided me temporary relieve in the next few days after suffering from sunburn to my legs and hands. It was the first time that I was sunburned and it was an experience which I hope never to repeat. It will be a really long while before I attempt whitewater rafting again.

OMG OMG OMG that is the gel I used that made the sheet stick to me when I didn’t let it dry!! HAHA
I love to white water raft, and so jealous you’ve been to such great places to do it, despite the sunburn!

You definitely have to wear sunscreen nowadays. This is an eternal verity, like cleansing, toning and moisturising.
