Sounds like the times we took family holidays around the Med. Our late father was Arab, and both my sister and I have dark hair and brown eyes (our mother was dark haired and grey-eyed). She's got my father's olive skin, I'm more fair-skinned but darker haired. Both of us used to get taken for a holidaying local and got addressed in the local language.
