Holiday checklist

What do you do when?

Sunset, a unique atmosphere enchants the beach - quickly snap a souvenir photo - but the camera is at home on the kitchen table. Each of us has certainly been in a comparable situation before. You can also get a sunscreen or a film in the holiday resort. But often the forgotten things are not so easy to organize on site, or you annoyingly have to pay a lot of money for them.
