came from an older 60ish man from Uruguay in the pool on our first day in Bali with Sarah. Sarah answered his first hello being polite. This man then crowded her space moving with her as she tried to move away, I instantly saw red and called out to Sarah "Just tell him to go away Sarah" He heard me and slowly left the pool ogling her all the way. He then left, I happened to look up towards the sky a few minutes later and you wouldn't believe it, he was on his balcony watching her through a pair of binoculars, unbelievable.
I understand how you feel Sue & Hillary, some days I didn't know if I wanted to laugh or cry as I watched my only daughters only daughter who was still just a little girl such a short time ago, tottering around on her new high heels from Matahari, wearing short shorts and midriff top.
I should also say that the young local boys never did anything untoward it was just that they were full on in awe of her and would just instantly gravitate to where she was standing or sitting and it was a bit overwhelming at times. One night she didn't want to come out to dinner, she said "I just want a bit of time to myself, I'm sick of being crowded"
