I fucked the one on the right because on the street I saw her head on the second floor terrace of her apartment so I decided to get a date. LOL. The service is very limited and she came up with some lame excuses. The apartment is about 2 blocks away from the hotel.
The small and bigger bands at different locations. Barra will be more lively during the weekend. Look up Aruba Bar e Restaurante. The night time activity is concentrated around here for this stretch. You should be able to see the band and some other live music here when it is closer to weekend. Porto da Barra is a good spot on weekend morning to people watch.
I remember I have a picture of the building then I dug out the last picture showing her. LOL
Also, I got hit by a moto that sent me flying during carnival. The moto was damaged. I had some scratches, probably some minor internal injuries (my wrist still hurts now) and my new shorts were ripped during the fall. The rider wanted me to pay for damage. I pretended not understanding him (thanks MrE), even though I knew he wanted me to use translator which I had but I did not show him. After a while, I said one word, police. Then he started to look for police. We found the temporary station. I used translator to tell the police that I was walking and he hit me from behind. The police yelled at him and he left. The police wanted to take me to a medical station which I politely refused. I can't buy this type of pants in Brazil so I got my $50 shorts fixed for $6.
That poor guy! How dare you damage his moto with your ass and not compensate him for his trouble!
That's just cold man!
Seriously, though, the nerve on that asshole to actually go to the police after hitting you.
It's the Sunday night after carnival. I went to Plaza Modelo to watch a concert. I brought my phone with the best camara, but it did not have a sim so I couldn't call Uber. I know how to walk back or call a taxi if I have to so I was not that worried.
After the concert ended around 10 PM, I walked to the bus station in a deserted area at that time. There was another man who was a vendor selling roasted cheese also waiting for the bus. We chatted and we were both going to Barra. What happened was the buses just passed by and never stopped. Then another man came to wait for the bus. Still no buses stopped. Another woman came, then another bus came and magically stopped. We let the woman get on the bus first, but as the woman just got in halfway, the door CLOSED! Three of us left standing watching the bus drive away. None of the later buses stopped.
Eventually all three of us walked to the stop before and got on the first bus.
I always suspected the bus drivers skip the stop intentionally, because I see it happening to the locals. This is a partial proof they do it intentionally..

I was leaning towards Barra, since everything that I have been reading online says that its safer there at night.
So there is a bus that runs from Barra, through Pelo, all the way east to Platinum? Or does the bus run in the eastward direction along the coast? Is the bus safe at night? How long does it take?
Is Monte Pascoal just a hotel for geographical reference? Or do you actually recommend the hotel?
Thanks!
If you only have a few days, Pelourinho will be closer to more tourist stuff, and there are more international tourists. For example, it's easier to see the Afro-Brazilian Street Band in Pelourinho than in Barra. It's also much bigger. In Barra, it came out mostly at night and is usually quite small like less than 5 members. I have also never seen caipora in Barra. I see it in Pelo. It's also very hot during the summer so that you can always escape back to your hotel to take a break then head out again. It's also more upscale. At night time, it's more romantic. In the center, they have band playing outdoor, and you need to pay a charge when dinning around the area. The local food to try is at a place called Escola Senac. Here you can try many variations of moqueca and other local food for about 99, all you can eat and it's good. I think Pelourinho is safer at night.
To me, Barra has more local vibe, low key, very walkable, not much activity during weekday or night. For example, the acaraje stands came out around the evening in front of the light house. While it came out during daytime in Pelourinho or downtown area. If you want to try crab or shrimp, go to the large restaurants by the beach. The size of the shrimp and crab is proportional to the price. There is an upscale restaurant called Camarao has the largest shrimp and it's also the most expensive. The better restaurants are to the north in Graca or to the west.
In my opinion, the location of that hotel is the center of the area and it is by the beach. It is nears many different restaurants, and Barra Shopping. There are two bus routes coming from the north, and this is near where the two routes converge. The sunset from this area is pretty nice too. As Specto has mentioned, many go to see the sunset at the Christo statue just nearby and it is not crowded
The bus runs eastward alone the coast with A / see so it can be pretty comfortable if you are not in a hurry. I think it is better than Uber. LOL. I think it is safe when you are on the bus. I am not sure about the safety when waiting for the bus. I have a story that I will write next. It you take the route alone the coast, I think it will be about 1 hr from Pelo. The Uber will take a short route, probably half that time.

You can take the bus that goes between Aeroporto and Praça the Sé. However why should you take the bus when you have enough money to visit Platinum? Also, this bus isn't running late at night. Ypu seems to be very worried about your safety, take a taxi or uber.
Pelo probably would be a good choice for you. I would pick Barra for longer stay. For Barra, you can use Monte Pascoal Praia Hotel Salvador as a reference. I walked between these two places frequently. The is a bus that goes from Pelo to the club and with stops at the prives building, Barra, Rio Vermelho so that tells you these places are not that far apart. There is a Jazz club right next to Platinum that has live music on certain days if you are interested. If you go further away, there are a few more girl bars but they are like clip joints. I went.

Going to be stopping in Salvador for a few days on the way to Manaus. I was going to fly through Sao Paolo, but have since changed my mind after I read Safado's review on Platinum. I was under the impression that Salvador was barren for punting, but apparently that's not true. As long as there is some decent punting, Salvador seems much more interesting as a tourist. Looking forward to visiting Pelo and enjoying some good food and music, as well as some quality beach time.
Platinum is in a place called Boca do Rio. Is this a good place to pick a hotel? Or am I better off in Pelo, Barra, or Rio Vermelho? Hotel does not have to be girl friendly. I would probably play in-house at Platinum. Is transportation around that peninsula easy?
Obviously, Salvador has a reputation of being dangerous in some places, so I want to pick right.
I'm in Salvador right now. Salvador is the capital of black asses. How I love this city. The beaches are full of flirting chocolate-coloured girls. It's not hard to pick up beautiful local girls. Both Porto the Barra and Barra have improved the nightlife. Every evening the bars are filled with people partying.
Regarding P4 P, I had no time for checking out upscale boates. I did pass by Morganas Massagem, and sadly it's closed. What a shame, they used to have lots of really sexy black girls. However I did check out a new place. Edificio Castro Alves, Rua Carlos Gomes 103. The building looks shady but is actually OK. There are prives in sala 106,203, 204,304 and 307. The prives have some small bars. Eack priv had about 5 girls working. Most girls were black girls with thick horseasses, with some exceptions. Even though I passed by at 10 AM the place was busy. Be quick to choose your girls. For once I was slow and lost the first two girls I planned to pick.
I ended up with a girl who had her first day at work. Cereja, 25 years, very black, decently cute, nice tits and a really big round ass (I'm no fan of big assesm but in Bahia it's a must to try). Service was good and she finished with BBBJCIM. Cost: 40 reais /30 minutes.
Went to the building today, but the guy said it is close. I think until Carnival is over. But I will try again Monday.
Good luck with that, Rahsta. The carnival starts the 9: th. The Circuito Osmar / Campo Grande passes Avenida Sete, Praa Castro Alves and Avenida Carlos Gomes. Right in front of the puteiro. That street will be incredible crowded and it would be a wonder if the puteiro was open. Note that the location of the puteiro is in the beginning of Avenida Carlos Gomes, close to Praa Castro Alves. It's the worst place to be in the Salvador carnival. This is because the trio electricos makes a hard turn right there and it always becomes very chaotic right in that spot. I've seen many ugly fights there, some including guns.
The police are in full force out here. The crowds are crazy and pretty much none stop. My airbnb looks walking distace to the prives in the buildin.
I'm enjoying Salvador right now. The capital of black asses. I don't have much to add that I didn't report one year ago and I dislike to repeat myself.
Edificio Castro Alves, Rua Carlos Gomes 103. When I passed by today at 9. 30 AM there were only prives open on the first and third floor.
Third floor: A bunch of girls, the majority with too large asses. There was a cute girl with round natural tits who charged 25 reais. She only did CBJ so I left.
First floor: The girls here cost more, 70 reais /30 minutes, CBJ. Here I found a gem. Brenda, 19 years, mulatta, very beautiful, slim, petite and very sweet. She does have one kid but her tits are still superb. Considering being so slim her breast were quite large, firm and perky. A very pretty, tight and shaved pussy. Her ass was unreal. A small, round, perfectly shaped bubblebutt. It couldn't have been better. I couldn't stop kissing her ass. She performed great with lots of enthusiasm. It was a great sensation to take her doggystyle. I paid her 50 reais extra for BBBJ (normally I never session with a girl that doesn't include BBBJ, but this girl was an exception). Her BJ skills were exceptional and she finished with BBBJCIM finishing every drop. I asked how she had learned how to suck like that and she told me still sucks on her thumb.
The downside were the rooms. They had no ventilators working. It was like fucking in a sauna and I was soaked in sweat after a couple of minutes. She told me they had one room with a working ventilator but the lamp didn't work. We changed to that rooms and used our mobile phones for getting light. The second downside were the bathroom in the hall. The shower wasn't working. Instead there were a bunch of buckets with water. Very primitive. Still I left with a big smile.
I told Brenda I thought it was strange that such an astonishing girl worked in a crappy priv. She said many clients had told her that and she might start working somewhere else.
Thanks for the info. I'm going to check it out on the 10th or 12th.
