It's another tequila sunrise
Day 2 of our Eden holiday.
I awoke at 5.50am and immediately felt immense pain all over my body. Something was seriously wrong. After falling back to sleep for a few hours, I awoke in agony and was very whinge-y. With a twisted face, I exclaimed "my bones hurt!" to which my sister helped me up but also burst into laughter at my pained expression. What felt like sore bones turned into sore muscles. I was seriously wind/sun-burnt from my time at the beach the day before. The Australian sun can be very dangerous but luckily the pain subsided after a few hours and some medication. I was as red as a lobster in real life, even though it's not so obvious in these photos. Even the straps on my dress hurt my skin!

After a big breakfast of eggs, bacon and tomatoes on toast, my family and I drove into Merimbula around midday. We browsed the shops and discovered many had shut down, probably due to COVID-19. The RSL kitchen closed at 2pm so we weren't able to eat there as we'd hoped so we headed out to a hamburger place that we've visited before.
Outfit details:
Patterned maxi dress: Tree of Life, hand me down from Mum.
Butterfly pendant, turquoise cuff, striped cardigan, sunglasses and unworn Wittners sandals - Secondhand market bargains.
Mum's wearing what I wore the previous day . It's great being able to share clothes, especially when on holiday with a limited wardrobe!
After lunch, we walked down the boardwalk and spotted tiny black and orange crabs. We also spotted television comedian Tom Gleeson but left him alone as he seemed to be on holiday with his family.
My sister and I looking at the crabs.
Dad photo bombing us.
Mum and I realising what he's doing and having a giggle about it!
Oh, that sounds truly painful, Jess! Not much fun to be in pain on your holidays! Much better - and safer - to cover up next time you're in the sun! I'm loving your maxi dress and the striped cardigan you're wearing on top of it. And oh my, what a gorgeous butterfly brooch! Looks like you had a most relaxing holiday! xxx
ReplyDeleteYes I have learnt my lesson!
DeleteI am still loooooving butterfly brooches and have added a couple to my collection. Three's a collection, right? Haha. X
Ouchy! Sunburn is nasty. I remember my brother lying down in pain, covered in cold flannels (that my mam had to keep on replacing) following a day at the beach when we were kids. I love the picture of your dad photo bombing you! Lovely looking place and as always, super outfits. Lulu xXx
ReplyDeleteThanks Lulu. I've learnt my lesson. Cover up or use sunscreen, even in the shade!
DeleteMy dad can never take a photo seriously! Always goofing! X
Oh dear! I though you Aussies were on the ball with your sun protection, that's a very British thing to do!
ReplyDeleteYor mum & you look fabulous and your dad's photobombing made me giggle. xxx
I've learnt my lesson, Vix. Cover up or use sunscreen, even in the shade! Aaah never again.
DeleteDad's a silly one. X
Ooh, I can see how pink your poor skin is! I'm glad you were feeling better after a couple of hours. I wear sunblock every day (even in winter, on my face!) as I'm also prone to the pink, even after only a few minutes! You and your mum are so cute together. How fun to be able to share your wardrobes!
ReplyDeleteI try to stay in the shade where possible or cover up but have definitely learnt my lesson! Looking forward to catching up on your posts soon. X
