Tropical Eco Recovery 101

Here are the 7 prescribed steps to recover from being stranded on a deserted tropical island for two days.

1. Drink plenty of fluid. Turn the esky down to almost freezing so the beer and cider is ice cold.

2. Have a long cold shower to cleanse the spirit, remove the sand from hard to reach places and soothe away the insect bites.

3. Turn on fans and air conditioning and be totally inactive. Hibernate from the heat, noise, people, all civilisation in general at least until midday.

4. Reintroduce oneself slowly to the rigours of normal life. Try a hat on... go get a strong coffee or a real hot chocolate, sit at a cafe with a view and find some food with sugar in it.

4. Return to your sanctuary and take a long siesta on a comfortable mattress whilst a tropical storm passes by.

5. Re-energise with a sunset cocktail overlooking a harbour whilst listening to reggae music.

6. Get some red meat and replenish the body accompanied by a bottle of decent red wine.

7. Retire to bed for an early night to maximise full recovery.Read more
