Dec 8th Boots on the ground
I've been here in CTG for 2 days. Flew in on Spirit from Fort Lauderdale. Purchased ticket 5 hours before flight departure, paid $376 and then $60 more to pre-pay 1 check back in each direction.
Staying in Hampton Hotel. $106/ night first 2 nights, rebooked today for $93/ night (taxes included on rates I show). Very nice hotel, no chica issues here. I previously reported this hotel.
Wednesday I ventured out to new LDV and Isis. New LDV has annoying lights that will strobe past your eyes every 3-5 seconds in most seats. Very annoying. Only 7 chicas around 11:15 pm. I went in at 10:45, only about 4 chicas. Just turned around and left. At 11:15 pm, I needed to sit down after standing / walking lot near the clock tower. I had a plain coke for 5 K. Rested 10 minutes and left. For my 2 cents, if a bar is "dead" I will walk in and walk out no matter where the bar is, USA, Colombia or wherever. Often times like this night I may come back later to see if there is a crowd. No need to hang out if the place doesn't have what I'm looking for.
Isis. Isis hasn't changed much. I saw about 12 girls. 4-5 in conversations with guys and no other guests. This place almost always seems very quiet to me. Average chica here is 25-26 and 20 pounds overweight. Nothing special to my eyes. Place is dark so maybe I missed something. Girls seem uninspired. I got a bottle of water, 14 K, relaxed 15 minutes and left.
Torre de Reloj (Clock Tower). This place is like the boardwalk in Atlantic City. Lots of people coming and going continually, especially 8 am - 1 pm. Right now there are a lot of Colombian tourists and many extra Christmas lights that are up. This is the busiest I've ever seen the walled city in terms of regular tourists. The chicas come out in force between 10-11 pm. There were 30-45 chicas here at any one time. Some well dressed, some casual clothes and some who look like they could use some cleaning up. I met a 24 yo Venezuelan who looked 20. She was very calm and didn't give me the overt "Hello, eyes" when we made eye contact. She wore tourist style dress, flat shoes and didn't look like a working girl in most respects, except she was sitting on a bench in the clock tower plaza. She asked for 200 K for the hour. I said 250 K for 1. 5 hours and she quickly agreed. I don't like the rush experience This tactic worked again with a different chica on Thursday night, counter offering initial price with slightly higher price for 1. 5 x the time. At 200 K, they are charging $67 for first hour and then you are getting the next 30 minutes for $17. Very good connection and GFE with this one. I gave her 300 K because of strong connection and knowing how tough life is in Venezuela now. Wanted to repeat but she didn't use my phone number or return to clock tower on Thursday night. I paid 24 K for 90 minutes in short-time hotel. Place was 2 blocks from main plaza.
Tinder: I used Tinder and make 8-10 matches. Prices quoted on Tinder were 200-300 K per hour and 1 500 K for TLN. I strongly prefer to see the person live in person before agreeing to spend 1+ hours with someone. I met one who didn't live up to her pictures. The pictures were the same girl but she appeared slightly average and flat-chested in person. 2 of the hotter Tinder chicas I saw in the Clock Tower plaza. They are very attractive but seem to know it and give off a veteran vibe which turns me off. I usually go for 18-21 newer to the business chica.
On Tinder there are many beautiful Colombianas. Though making a "match" and being able to contact them is something separate. I've tried matching with "less attractive" Tinder girls to use them to network to their friends but that has only provided 1 average looking referral (her cousin) so far.
Daytime. Daytime is the challenge in Cartagena. Prime hours in CTG for meeting someone are 9:30 pm - 4 am. Trying to meet someone in public from 12 pm - 6 pm is more challenging. Best source is Playa Hollywood or a casa. I'm not a casa guy and I loathe Tony at Playa Hollywood. I took a few phone numbers from chicas at the clock tower to give me some options for daytime.
I'd really like to hang on the beach with a skinny 20 yo in her bikini for an hour or two and then go the room for some fun. Hopefully I can make that happen today.
Thursday night I was about to go to Pley Club to check that out and before getting to the taxi I met a petite (4'10') Venezuelan. She said she was 18 (looked it) but turned out to be 22 when I went to verify her age. Had I not seen her age I could have believed easily she was 18. She had beautiful, silky smooth long brown hair. Actually so did the other Venezuelan from the night before. I'm a huge fan of long, straight dark hair. This petite thing was very GFE with me. I got BBJ after showering myself. So much fun to see a beautiful young women with gorgeous long brown hair taking care of business. Very satisfying. I also got 200 K quote and she quickly accepted 250 K for 1. 5 hours. Maybe I could play "hardball" and get better rates but $83 USD for 90 minutes is about 15-20 minutes and 4 lap dances in the US. She is single mother with 1 year old. Has see-section scar which is only real flaw with her body.
Thanks to those who have shared useful info before me (so I didn't go to old LDV to find it closed and wonder where the new place was).
