Instant recall of memories of Dutch and Scandinavian tourists...

LOL. I do actually have some tolerance for the sun. Sunburn amongst tourists is mostly a measure of stupidity. That being not using sunscreen and going in the sun between 12:00 and 15:00 when you're still white. Of course there are a lot of Scandinavians and quite a few Dutch (and redhead Britons) who simply go red-white-red-white.

That and carelessness. (None of the sunburn tourists I saw was complaining.)

No, the simplest rule is: get yourself a tan with short exposures; a few days later you can take any amount. Tourists red like a crab take the Sun upon arrival at a sunny place without any moderation. (BTW I myself have whiter than white skin.)
