Don't forget your flip-flops.
Went to a water park somewhere outside Benidorm when on holiday when I was 7-8 I think.

Fantasticplace place to spend the day for young me, running around in just swim shorts all day, and a tee shirt for a couple of hours around noon.

So came teatime and we made to depart, me trailing behind to soak up as much of this aquarian paradise as I could. On leaving I took my first step on the macadam to catch up with my distant kin.

Fuck that hurt. I instantly learned all about the capacity of dark hard surfaces to absorb solar radiation and store it as heat. Scared of being left behind abroad, I scampered / limped what must have been a hundred yards but felt like a hundred miles to my family and the sweet relief of footwear.
