I did say the other day when I was off riding a horse in Mongolia that I got a little sunburned. Well it has blistered up and burst. Noice! As a result sleep was not easy the night before last. Yesterday I managed to visit a chemist in Irkutsk and get some cream to put on it. No idea what the cream is but it stopped it hurting immediately.

The picture below is my shoulder taken from above and you can see the raw bit. It makes carrying bags and wearing clothes a little difficult at the moment although once I get on the train later today I wont have to carry bags for 2 days – It’s a 48 hour journey to Ekaterinburg… and for anyone who can see the white stripe… yep, I really am that pale 🙂

Ouch!
