Australia is a different beast though. I went out for like 10 minutes without a hat or sunscreen on a particularly hot december noon and my nose damn near fell off the day after 😅 Not because I thought I’m too tough to get sunburnt but if you live your entire life in Europe you just can’t imagine the sunshine being this potent. Never happened again after that incident 😄

In New Zealand the sun feels like it’s stabbing you after 10min in summer. I can feel my skin prickling like tiny fire ants.It doesn’t take long to burn here. serious respect for the sun and upper atmosphere
there’s a hole in my ozone dear lyza, dear lyza…

Its not the ozon hole (well its a little bit the fault of the ozon hole) but its because due to the eleptical orbit of the earth around the sun the southern hemisphere is closer to the sun in summer than the north hemisphere.

…and Florida, and Jamaica, and Mexico, and (I presume) Spain. There is no corner of the earth in which the English will not challenge the mighty Helios until they are as red as the cross of St. George.

*Me in Vitoria, Spain: “You guys get sun?”
Large parts of the north of Spain are basically UK in terms of weather.
