Spent 2 weeks in Bali January. Had the full swimsuit blag before we left - my wife, late 50's, tried on swimsuits she had in the drawers. Cant wear this, makes me look fat...look the lining's perishing in this. Anyway I won't be going in the pool anyway......Found a bikini belonged to our daughter (30). Don't be stupid - I can't wear that - so go out and buy a new swimsuit or whatever. A week before we left she tried on the bikini (honestly it looked OK) so she decided to take it and would wear a T shirt above it.
First day at hotel i swam but she lay back in her bikini with T shirt and watched. Second day she decided that the pool did look attractive, and when it was virtually empty (2 people older than us) she decided to take a swim. Climbed down into the pool, swam for 2 seconds when the clasp an the bra broke - perished. So she was in the water, holding the straps together behind her back trying to climb up the ladder from the pool - kept on falling back when she needed 2 hands for one or the other function. Why didn't I help? I was too busy laughing at her predicament.
Outcome - I was cold shouldered for a day; she didn't buy a new suit but I had to tie a reef knot in the strap every time she wanted to go in the pool.
