First time in Cap - Day 3 (4th July)
We headed to the gym in the morning. There is one in the campsite but you need a pitch number to buy a day pass, so we couldn't use it. There is one in Jardin de Babylone - the entrance to the Spa is to the left of the pool entrance. Eur15 for a day pass. You need clean trainers and clothes. Gym was small but well equipped.
We then headed to the Foam party at Le Glamour, entrance by the beach. We tried to reserve a mattress but 3 weeks in advance was not early enough. Apparently they phone people before hand to see if you are still coming and if you don't answer you may lose the mattress.
We got there at 1.45 for 2pm opening and there was already a small queue. This is a great opportunity to chat to people, so worthwhile timing when you join the end of the queue! We got chatting to some friendly Dutch and Canadians. We got in fairly quickly after it opened. Eur25 to get in, Eur3 for the cloakroom. Drop everything here apart from towel and suncream. Some people had plastic water proof phone pouches or small plastic waterproof boxes around their necks for keys and wallet. I had payment on my watch and keys in a running wrist strap which worked well. The ticket from the cloakroom is not waterproof though (as I found out!)
We got a drink and sat in the pool/jacuzzi chatting. The first 45 minutes it wasn't too busy, easy to move around and space in the pool. We then went to the foam area, this is the equivalent of a standing up play room in a club. We tried to get the happy medium of being in the foam but not completely covered by it. There seems to be a level of assumed consent in here, you might get touched by someone and you tell them to stop if you don't like it. My wife got touched on the shoulder (sort of massage type touch), we moved away and he stopped. We saw a lady put her hands between another ladies legs, the second lady checked it was a female, not male, and let her carry on. Another chap started rubbing his body against a lady in a four and the lady moved out of the way and he stopped.
This is all we saw in maybe 45 minutes, so not much, not pushy and we and everyone else seemed more than happy with how this worked. This was maybe 1-1.5 hours after opening. It may have got more touchy later on after everyone had had a few more drinks. We met a few people here that we had seen in the pool party from the day before and had some fun with the couple we had chatted to in the queue. (She felt powerful with something in each hand!)
We then headed back into the bar / jacuzzi area and it was now pretty packed. We got to the bar but couldn't get to the pool as it was full and too crowded nearby. (Watch out for people smoking as we got close to getting burnt once). We had one more drink and headed off as it was too busy for us.
This is where a mattress would have been well worth the money, we would have had a chance to chill for a bit and maybe managed another trip to the foam.
We headed off to the bar on the beach, this was another great people watching spot and we had an enjoyable drink there.
Our apartment was third floor overlooking the central part of Heliopolis. This was a great spot and we'd definitely get a place like that again. We had a drink and a play on our balcony watching everyone heading to and from the beach and bars. At about 7pm the first evening outfits appeared; long dresses with splits to the waist, leather strappy tops with nothing hidden, fluffy white tops, a very tall slim lady wearing a large belt thing that went from just below her boobs to just above her bottom (so technically not naked but not covering anything that you would normally cover up!), lots of sheer dresses and body suits. Most blokes borringly in jeans and shirt, some in kilts, some just a waistcoat, one in sparkly spandex shorts with straps over shoulders (he looked amazing) and he had co-ordinated with his wife. I had seen a tip on here of a black tie shirt, rolled sleeves and no tie, that's what I wore and felt that worked well.
We then got dressed up and headed to Le Pilouterie bar. This place is great, quick service, good music and its a really busy spot to watch everyone. Can't recommend here enough for a drink at 8/9 ish.
We then went to the Oz Inn rooftop bar. One chap was wearing smart white trainers but wasn't allowed in. We took flip flops for my wife and she wore these walking around and then slipped into the high heels when we got to places. Eur35 I think to get in. Very sophisticated bar, amazing light show, average DJ, quite a few nice places to sit, but these were all premium vip and mostly empty. We had a drink here and a good dance and headed off about 11.15 to Le Glamour club (next door to the foam party).
This is the huge swingers club we should have come to on the first night (I make the mistakes so you don't have to!) We got there about 11.30 and no queue and fairly empty inside. Eur60 to get in with 2 drinks included. Dance floor, poles, bar and lots of sofas upstairs. Downstairs was the playrooms and there were loads of these, maybe 10-15 on the couples side and more on the threesome side (we didn't look in there). As we were flying out early the next morning we had to call it a day. At 12.30 it was starting to feel busier, and there was a bit of a queue outside, maybe 20 couples. Single men are also allowed in here, entry fee is higher and they are not allowed in the couples play rooms.
We stopped in at the bakery on the way back just in time to see France score the penalty against Morroco so the French were happy. One chap got a bit excited and started knocking tables over so someone took him outside, gave him a couple of punches and knocked him out cold! (This was only aggressive thing we saw the whole time we were there).
That's day 3 and our last day. I might do a summary tomorrow - let me know if you have any questions.
