There is a lot to do in Manaus
[QUOTE=Euphori;2885929]Found it, thanks for your directions. I walked by the area so many times but never went down that street, surprised I missed it. There were about 5 bars and each had a couple ladies milling about. Seemed like a festive time but most of the women were well passed their shelf life, I only found one that intrigued me enough to sit down with her and it turned out she wasn't working! It was a little awkward when her sister and boyfriend showed up but no harm no foul.
Romulus isn't what she used to be but it still seems fun enough. It was busier last night maybe 20 ish women and a few street workers who would come inside to look for clients then head back out. I imagine the rain was having a negative effect on their ability to get customers off the street. The ladies did seem pretty bored not alot of big spenders, mostly guys drinking with their friends and watching the strip shows. The stage looks pretty cool with the neon colored Jaguar and anaconda at the front and the women put on a pretty good show twirling on the poles. Of the two ladies I was interested in the night before my favorite wasn't there (kept waiting for her to appear) but my tall amazonian princess was. I was going to spend the 80 for a dance with her but the short spinner I met a few days before messaged me on whatsapp so I decided to just spend another 150 for a hour with her at her hotel.
I'm going to check out a Forro club tonight with a non-pro I met at the giant food market down by the port. I think you're right Manaus seems to be better for just picking up regular local girls, the pay for play action doesn't have enough talent (where I've been looking). I dig brazilian electronica so hopefully I can find a good dj at one of the clubs, otherwise if I drink enough maybe I can tolerate Sertanejo music. I'm a willing dancer even if not a very good one, so it should be fun.
Did 2 river trips and a trip to Pres. Figueiredo to see the waterfalls. All were just one day affairs, leave in the morning back in the afternoon / evening. I was going to go down to the docks to negotiate like I read some other posts discussing but I met a guide from one of the travel companies who spoke pretty good english and offered good rates so I just paid a slight premium to go with him. I think I paid 120 for the typical day trip (dolphins, village and jungle walk, meeting of the waters, souvenir shops + lunch buffet). Was 10 more to get video of the dolphins up close or 30 to swim with them.
Running out of things to do, looking forward to going to Rio Monday. Went back to Lukituts Delicias Regiponais a couple more times for their amazing Tacaca and chocolate cake. Went to a gym today to work off said chocolate cake, a place called Fitness gyms way. It was the best reviewed but older equipment and not much for cardio machines besides some treadmills and a few bikes. Might check out a different place tomorrow. Theres a restaurant a block away from there that had a pretty good / big lunch buffet, name is Kilomania. As the name suggests its a pay by the kilo place food was spectactular but lots of options and the salad bar was pretty good.[/QUOTE]Much more than one really thinks if you only spend a few days. First, its necessary to find a young woman to show you around (but check the ID as the locals don't know that men can go to jail for sexing a 17 year old!! This is especially true of foreigners.) Second, some of the most spectacular places are outside of the city, but one needn't rent a float plane to see them. For example, I have been to Novo Airo, a 2. 5 hour drive from Manaus down the river, and taken water taxis to isolated beaches of pure white sand. On the weekend, some of thee beaches will have vendors selling freshly grilled fish and drinks.
Or, you can find a guy with a private boat and pay him to take you 4 hours or so down the river, where there is nothing but you, the fish, wildlife and miles of sandy beaches. There are caves to explore and the old city of Airo (it was a city build around latex) As of 2019, it had one inhabitant, a old guy who showed tourists around and explained rubber production in incomprehensible portuguese. Apparently, the city was invaded by ants, and everyone left to the place now called Novo Airo. If you take your garota, there are plenty of places to sit on the beach and enjoy the warm water while you have naked fun. The Amazon, incidentally, is different depending on the time of year. When the water is high (eg, May before the rains slow down), there is limited beach but you can take the boat to places that are amazing. In the later part of the year, eg August, its all white sand.
Finally, I strongly suggest you look around for small boates or brothels, generally not in the city center. Or independents. This is generally day time sex. Google, "acompanhantes manaus". I always go for the inexpensive girls on the no-name web sites, most of whom are part time GDPs, and are often very GFE. You can pretty much get anything your heart desires from these girls, especially if you agree to pay a bit extra. This girl for example, offers BBFS ([URL]https://www.lindas.com.br/acompanhante/65008-novinha[/URL]). As usual, YMMV but you will almost never get BBFS at Romulus.
