PART FOUR

We had agreed to get taxis to lunch and then on to the rocky beach area we were going to spend the afternoon at as we all wanted to be able to have a few drinks. Lunch was at a cool bohemian style restaurnat inland from the coast and the food and wine were fantastic. Everyone was in great spirits and lots of laughs were being had as the wine flowed.

When we got to our destinantion (it is called Punta Galera for anyone interested) it was a short walk down over the rocks to get to the area of layered flat rocks where there were lots of people sunbathing and lots of people jumping off the rocks into the water. There was clearly good snorkelling to be done as you could see lots of snorkel pipes bobbing about in the water. It was a beautiful spot and had a different crowd to the more traditional beaches we had been to so far - much more of a hippy / alternative vibe and the smell of marijuana was in the air as we made our way across the rocks. I noticed that on one of the slightly raised rocks there was a group of about 10 or 12 people doing yoga together.

We had read that there were no facilities at Punta Galera so had taken a few beers, a couple of bottles of wine and some water and snacks with us which made the clamber over the rocks tiring as it was very hot and our bags were heavy with drinks. We got to a good spot that was high enough to have a great view but was easy to get down to the next level from where you could get into the water. We laid out our towels and started to sort ourselves out. I noticed straight away that most women around us were topless and nearly all of them had a hippy look to them and were very tanned. As I was rolling my t-shirt up to form a makeshift pillow for myself I noticed a beautiful young lady with long brown hair climbing back up to our level having been for a swim. She was completely naked and and had a natural bush of dark brown pubic hair. I saw Radika watching her walk by and could see a faint smile on her face as though she appreciated the girls confidence and sense of freedom.

As everyone finished setting up their stuff the boys were already shirtless and ready to lie down or go for a swim. Connie was the first of the girls to strip off. I knew that she was not wearing a bra or bikini top so as soon as her dress came off she was topless. I had presumed that she would be wearing her bikini bottoms but to my surpirse realised she was in fact wearing underwear - a small black thong. Seeing her standing there in only a small thong got me feeling pretty excited which was only exaccerbated when she proceeded to take her suncream out of her bag and start applying it. Radika noticed Connie's bum on show and said "Wow Connie, your ass is just as impressive as your boobs, even if it is a bit white!" Connie laughed and said that she had her bikini bottoms in her bag and was about to put them on but they were slightly damp from this morning so had not wanted to wear them to lunch.

While this conversation was taking place Anna had also removed her top and was standing in her bra and skirt. As I glanced over she reached under her skirt to pull off her knickers and then pulled her thong bikini bottom out of her bag. She waved it in Connie's direction and said "great minds think alike, mine was still damp too". Anna was facing Connie and I and when she stepped into her bikini bottoms and pulled them up her skirt moved up first and we both got the briefest of glimpses of the top of her landing strip. She then removed her skirt and was wearing just her bra and thong bottoms. Anna moved over to where her bag was which was right in front of where Rishabh and Radika were sat and bent over to put her clothes away. From where I was standing I could tell that R&R got quite a view as Anna bent over and were even more surprised when she then asked Rishabh if he could put some suncream on her back for her as Tim was already making his way down to the water. Rishabh stood up and did as asked and when he got down to her bra strap, Anna reached behind and undid the clasp and removed her bra. Once her back was done Anna turned round and continued her chat with Radika while applying suncream to her boobs right in front of her and Rishabh. It occured to me that within the last 2 minutes they had both seem more of Anna and her more private parts than they would ever have expected to when they came on the holiday!

I suspected it was the boozy lunch that was loosening inhibitions and I noticed that Connie was still just wearing her thong and had not yet changed into her bikini bottoms. Anna headed off to join Tim in the water leaving the four of us together. Radika was still wearing her dress and had not yet got changed. She asked Rishabh to pass her their bag and pulled out her bikini from it. Connie sat down next to her and quickly pulled off her thong resulting in her being completely naked, albeit that in her sitting position she was fairly well protected from being on show. I think Rishabh has clearly worked out what was going on as he shifted his position to be angled slightly more towards Connie. Rather than try and hide the situation, as she lent forwards to put her feet through her bikini bottoms she said to Radika "Did you see that beautiful naked chick with the full bush? I was slightly jealous of her bush as I am clean shaven." This comment resulted in Radika and Rishabh turning more towards her and as they did so she pulled her bikini bottoms up and arched her bum up off her towel to enable her to pull them all the way up. In doing so she briefly exposed and highlighted her mound and you could clearly make out the top of her slit. It was only for a split second but I could not believe that Connie had just so casually exposed her pussy to her firends, and particularly Rishabh, in this way. Radika responded "Yeah, I did see her and to be honest I was slightly in awe of her. She was so beautiful and so natural. And by the way, I don't have to question your statement about being clean shaven as you just gave us a flash of your shaven haven!" This made us all laugh and Connie replied "I hadn't really thought through how I was going to pull them up but just decided what the hell, we are all friends!".

"Well I am going to make the swap while I still have my dress on" Radika said and proceeded to reach down and wiggle her knickers down and remove them. Radika's dress was long enough that there was no risk of a flash but I couldn't help but notice that she didn't immediately put her bikini bottoms on meaning that I knew she was naked under her dress. Seems silly given the openess that had developed between us all over the last couple of days but this thought really turned me on. After a couple of minutes Radika did pull her bikini bottoms on but then continued to sit in her dress with her bikini top on the rocks beside her. After a minute or two she turned to Rishabh and said "Rish, could you help me with my dress as I need to undo the zip in order to get my bikini top on". Radika kneeled up and turned her back towards Rishabh meaning she was facing directly towards Connie and me. Rishabh undid her zip and Radika proceeded to try and put her bikini top on while maintaining her modesty but quickly got in a bit of a tangle as her dress had sleeves rather than straps. As she fiddled around trying to sort it out Rishabh said "Just take the dress off and then put your top on or else we will be here all day." There was a degree of annoyance in his voice but I did think it was a clear step forwards that he had given that recommedation.

With that Radika pulled her bikini top back off and then stood up. I could tell from Rishabh's face that he had not expected Radika to stand up to do this but he didn't say anything. Radika slipped her arms out of the sleeves of her dress, pulled it down and stepped out of it resulting in her standing on the rocks in only her small bikini bottoms. Just as she did this Anna and Tim climbed up from the rocks below and I immediately realised that Tim had not yet seen Radika topless and it was clear that Rishabh had realised this too as he clearly tensed up. Rather than try to cover up quickly Radika asked them what the water was like and then asked Connie for her suncream. Connie handed it to her and Radika sat back down and started applying cream to her boobs. Once done she put her top on and lay down on her back. Rishabh was sat up looking tense and staring straight out to sea.

Connie and I decided to go for a swim and Anna and Tim went to explore around the headland and to see how far the flat rock structures spread. I was impressed that Anna headed off to do this with Tim in just her thong. Connie and I made our way down to the next level and found a spot to jump into the sea from. Once in we chatted about what had just taken place between Radika and Rishabh. We agreed that it was clearly a good sign that Rishabh had prompted Radika to remove her dress and it was Connie's view that Radika had taken the chance to push the boundary a little bit in the hope that it would move Rishabh more towards a middle ground. To my surprise Connie also told me that the reason she had flashed he pussy when changing her bottoms was to try and normalise the bohemian vibe as much as possible for Rishabh and to create a situation whereby Radika just being topless would not be that much of a big deal. I mentioned Anna bending over in front of them in just her thong and Connie laughed and said that she had noticed that too but thought that, having wholeheartedly adopted the topless culture, that was just Anna not giving a fuck and not even thinking about what her position may have revelaed and to who!

As we made our way back up to our area I noticed that the beautiful hippy girl we had seen when we arrived was lying down about 10-15m behind where we had set up and her position was very revealing. She was on her back with her knees bent and her legs fallen open. This resulted in her hairy pussy being on full show and you could clearly make out her pussy lips and the open hole through the hair. I nudged Connie and nodded my head in her direction and Connie's eyes opened wider. She lent into me and said "Do you think that is sexy? I really do, there is something about this girl and her total ease with her body that I find really inspiring and I can't keep my eyes off her!". I measured my response by saying that she was undoubtedly beautiful and that it was really cool to see her, and so many people, displaying body confidence but avoided making any direct reference to her body. I followd up by saying "The person I find the most sexy by a mile is you Connie. Watching you walk around so confident and looking so beautiful and sexy is incredible and turns me on a thousand times more than any other woman could." Connie smiled and just said "If only Rishabh would realise he is missing out on this with Radika."

As we got back to our spot I noticed that Rishabh was not there. Radika was lying on her front reading her book with her bikini top on the towel next to her and was by herself as Tim and Anna were still exploring. I asked where Rishabh was and Radika said he had gone off on a huff as they had had another confrontation about Radika being topless infront of us. Connie went to sit next to Radika and as soon as she sat down she noticed that Radika had tears in her eyes behind her sunglasses. Connie lay down next to her and put her arm around her and I decided to leave them to chat and to go and try and find Rishabh. I walked along the rocks and noticed that the girl near us was definitely not the only naked person on the rocks. There were quite a few the further you went including some small groups of guys and girls who were just hanging out together, chatting and smoking weed. It was a really nice vibe and it couldn't do anything other than reaffirm that, in the grand scheme of things, nakedness was really not a big deal and that you realised that as soon as you were confronted with it.

As I made my way round the headland I saw Rishabh sitting up on a rock by himself. I made my way over to him and sat down. We chatted for quite a while and largely went over what we had discussed before. I pointed out one of the groups of people who were naked a little bit away from us and he raised his eyebrows and said that he had actually not noticed them before as he was lost in his own thoughts when he had walked here. I explained how cool it was that friends could be that at ease with each other in an environment like this and that the reality was that Tim and I had already seen Radika's boobs so that hurdle had aleady been crossed. Rishabh said that if he was honest he had sort of got comfortable with me and Connie being around Radika when she was topless - briefly - but Tim seeing her like that had thrown him as he does not know Tim very well and it was also all the other people. He didn't like the idea of everyone else perving on Radika. I set out my view that, while you cannot be certain about everyone, looking and perving are very different things and there was no evidence from what I had seen that anyone paid any particular attention to any one individual regardless of how much or little they were wearing. I asked him straight out if he had been perving on Connie or Anna or anyone else for that matter. He said that he absolutley hadn't and that after the intial surprise and then getting used to seeing their boobs in such a casual setting he had been amazed at how normal and "uninteresting" it had become so quickly. I said that reality would be exactly the same for Tim and me with Radika and for everyone else. He argued that because they were Indian it made Radika stand out. I agreed that that was probably true but gave the example of the naked girl near us and told him about how she had been lying when Connie and I came back from our swim. I explained that while that definitely made her stand out it didn't result in anything other than admiration and acknowledgement from Connie and me - I decided not to tell him that Connie had actually said that that girl had turned her on!

We made our way down from the rock and started heading back. As we did we bumped into Anna and Tim who were also heading back to our area. Anna looked fantastic walking along in only her thong bottoms and I once again reflected on the respect I had for her in being so at ease with her body despite having boobs that were not classically perfect. As she was hot her areolas had enlarged and her boobs sagged a bit and moved around a lot as she walked. It was clear that she couldn't care less and that aura made her appear very sexy and alluring. Suddenly Anna said "Oh my god that's Izzy and Alex!" and pointed to a group of 5 people (3 girls, two boys) on a large flat rock just to our right. All of the girls were wearing bikini tops. Tim immediately said "I don't think we should go over when you aren't wearing anything" and was clearly less comfortable about Anna being topless and in a thong infront of people they knew from home who were not part of our little group. Anna said "don't be daft!" and called out to Izzy. One of the girls turned around and immediately saw Anna and Tim. I could see that she was somewhat taken aback that Anna was topless but she got up and ran over towards us. One of the guys, presumably Alex, followed her and I could see him staring straight at Anna's boobs which he had presumably never seen before. Anna hugged Izzy without hesitation and then did the same to Alex, resulting in her boobs being pressed up against his naked torso. Anna asked who they were with and Izzy explained that it was Alex's younger brother, his girlfriend and the girlfriend's younger sister. Anna introduced Rishabh and me to Izzy and Alex and then asked Alex to introduce us to the rest of the group.

Alex was clearly a bit flustered and embarassed as we made our way over to the other 3 and I got the sense that the girls were thinking "who is this topless chick?!" wanting to say hello! Anna took the lead and shook each of their hands introducing herself and started asking how their holiday was going, seemingly completley unbothered that she was topless infront of people she knew and was now introducing herself to their group. Tim was quiet but clearly at ease - his natural embarassment at the situation would always shince through in such a situation but he was not bothered by Anna being so at ease. It turned out it was the first day of their holiday and that they were going to be there for a week so a vague plan was made to meet up and we bid them farewell and continued on to find Connie and Radika. As we walked I said to Rishabh "see, that was a perfect example of what could have been an awkward situation proving to be completely non-controversial in the grand scheme of things and neither Anna or any of that group's lives are going to be impacted by it!". Rishabh laughed and said that he got my point.
