I can’t write about cycling today as I hardly did any at all. A funny thing did happen to me though and because I was sitting in the water at the time , I couldn’t give you any photographic proof . It was hot and muggy this morning and I decided to go down for a swim . I doubt if it’s 150 metres to the beach from our hotel so I’ve been going down often. Anyway, I was sitting by the shore with just my head out of the water, it was beautiful, then coming off the sand towards me came a group of old ladies , 6 or 7 of them, all with skimpy little bikini bottoms on and that’s all ! The youngest would have been 85 , they looked like they belonged to a knitting club or something similar. They just sat all around me without any embarrassment at all , their husbands stood on the beach and chatted. I was flabbergasted but admired them all the same for not giving a toss what I or anyone else thought. It’s very common for women here to swim topless but I’ve never seen so many wrinkles and bulges until today. Thank goodness the fashion is to go topless and not bottomless
