A group of eight of us from a Tahitian cruise ship decided to have dinner at the mountain top restaurant in Papeete, Tahiti. We got carried away with the time -- we were so enjoying the view and the company. We had missed the last bus (truck) down the mountain. "No problem" our young French waiter says. There would be one more bus - whenever it decided to come. There is no concept of time there. He suggested we go down to the pool on the mountainside and he would serve dessert and coffee there. He said we could go swimming in the pool. I looked at him and motioned across my chest "no bikini". He smiled and said "no problem". We forgot this is a French possession.
We had a few drinks -- so we went to the pool - lit only by the moonlight. The guys stripped and jumped into the pool and had a great time -- until the restaurant turned on the pool light at which time the four naked guys swimming in the pool caught the attention of the lone woman diner sitting above them looking down. She called the waiter and next thing we knew, he came running down yelling "Messieur, Messieur, Pantaloons, Pantaloons!" We were a bit upset because he had said we didn't need suits. But he again said, "No problem" and handed the guys cloth napkins, motioning for them to put them around their private parts!! A night we'll remember always. And the beautiful islands of French Polynesia
