The thing about travelling with blondes in Asia and South America is that you cannot go anywhere unnoticed!
In addition to this, if one of the blondes is 6ft and towers above the whole population of the continent then it really is imposible to travel without feeling like you are the security guard to a rare and beautiful caged animal.
The other thing is that there is no real consistency; In Asia the stares were a friendly fascination, in Rio the stares were lecherous, in Chile, amorous and in Argentina incredulous. One man actually stood in front of Louise the other day and stared at her feet for as long as he could to be certain she wasn't wearing heels. Loathed to discover she was not, he gave her a filthy look. How very dare she be so tall!
Waiters seem fascinated with the blue eyes. With no sense of professional boundry they each charge forward like bambi learning to walk, utter a clumsy complimentary phrase then appear too shy to do anything more about it.
There is then an awkward exchange of laughs, a lot of embarassment and some deep inner longing over the VISA card machine and finally a hearty farewell is bid.
And this is not one example, but a summary of many!! WIERD INNIT!
