heaps of Europeans male and female sunbaking all day along the Besakih beach area , most wearing only a weeny thong but I have noticed some without
When I was at the bar the agitated waiter pointed out a portly Dutch middle aged lady who was totally nude , she had been laying face down for a couple of hours and that was bad enough looking at her a*se, but he was sure she was going to turn over soon and he didn't know what he was going to do ...the beach sellers were laying bets on her natural hair colour
I think the locals are mostly still unused to nudity , and may be best to find one of the more deserted beaches
I must say that many showed the yukky signs of heavy long term sunbathing with skin like dark leather and heavy wrinkles - not a good look, from the neck up anyway !
The sun is really intense, please don't forget to use good sunblock and a hat ( scalp burn is not something you want! And also the big C )
Have fun and enjoy :-)
