I would suggest that you purchase some inexpensive white t-shirts and a hat from Primark. It'll save you a fortune on sun cream as you'll have to apply it less frequently. (or just buy a very cheapo, but ordinary, brolly). I certainly wouldn't hand over vastly inflated sums to Johnny Foreigner.

Beach umbrella, ella
My only experience of them is once having hired one whilst abroad and it probably cost more to hire than it would have cost to buy a new, albeit smaller, umbrella. Maybe I'm getting old but this time around I feel I might enjoy the beach more if my skin is not being bombarded by ultra violet rays, not needing to squint, cover myself in insanely expensive suntan lotion, or make my own eye-catching shelter out of a bin liner, string and locally sourced sticks.
Here's the question. Do you buy the umbrella abroad, take it with you, rent one or just bake under the sun au natural and get cancer like white folk? Presumably touristy places are on to the sneaky tourist buying their own umbrella malarky and have taken remedial actions?Tags: None
