Sunburnt legs. There's a reason why people are all covered up here, despite the 90+ heat. Less than 20 minutes out on a ride on the motorbike wearing shorts and your skin becomes burnt and itchy.
My first really bad mosquito bite. In the past few days, I've seen it evolve from a ginormous bump on my right wrist, to a reddish purple rash, to a series of wartlike bumps. I have to resist the urge to pop these raised bumps. So disgusting.
More mosquito bites on my legs. They've turned a wierd purply-red color, like a really really bad bruise.
Sometimes, I get one and I don't even notice it until it becomes an annoying, itchy bump like this little bugger on my right pinky.
The cream I have been using. I got it in France three years ago when I had the nastiest spider bite on my arm. It was one of those bites that had yellow stuff inside. So, so gross. I have no idea if this cream is working. Placebo effect, I guess. Plus, it expired about a year ago.
I have many more, but mostly in places I don't feel comfortable posting online--enough said. For sure I will return after this three month trip dark, battered, and worn out. At least I will have had fun in the process!
