gracias a todos por su ayuda!
Lulian (asker) Mar 30, 2010:
el texto (traducido, excepto el termino) dice: "Hubo tardes en que XX nos llevaba a "bathing parties" ilegales en el Hotel". They used to crash the hotel to use the pool, saying the were staying in X room. I suppose "illegal" just means the fact that they shouldn´t have been there.

Excursiones A mi entender serán grupos de hombres que se juntan para bañarse, por ejemplo en un río. En Cambridge era costumbre en el río Cam en el "upper river". ¿Te cuadra para tu contexto? Creo recordar que hay una descripción de tal cosa en "Period Piece" de Gwen Raverat.

bacanales

Si se habla en sentido figurado.

Estrictamente hablando esto es un bath party pero no creo que de eso se trate:

What is a "Bath Party"?
Bath Party

Make lotions, bath salts, body oils, body scrubs, or room fresheners in this hands on party! Using all natural ingredients, you choose your own scents to customized the product of your choice. The bath party typically lasts one hour for every five or six participants, and includes all salts, oils, herbs, and other necessary ingredients. It's like bringing "Bath Junkie" to your home.

También es un partido político turco pero obviamente no encaja en el contexto

Perdón el partido político se deletrea diferente y es árabe.

Es como si fuese un baño comunal pero se me ocurre que podría estar en sentido figurado como "bacanales u orgías"
