Barranquilla Reports

[Latina Passion]

Absolutely no good hotels near the Airport, nearest one is 45 minutes away, that's of course if no rain if it's a heavy rain well it can be an 1 1/2 plus!

Dude scroll thru BAQ for Hotels Hoof Hunter posted a shit load of them, and I just posted Inventura my spelling is wrong but it is listed on the CTG thread page one or two, $25,000 door to door!

Guys,

Going to Cartagena the end of may, and since using freebies courtesy of Avianca, have to fly through BAQ. Need good hotel close to airport if possible, and the cirrent rate of taxi to Ctg. Or if anyone knows a good cabbie.

Thanks in advance.

Private taxi from BAQ to CTG is about 140.000

Bubba,

There are no hotels close to the airport. All decent hotels in BAQ are in the north. appr. 45 min. with taxi, about 19.000 pesos.

There is a colectivo taxi service charging 25.000 pesos from BAQ to CTG.

I absolutely hate hypocrites and I'm the type of guy if you push one of my buttons, I'm going after ten of yours! Now after everything is said and done, this guy admits to only being in Colombia a whooping single time, but still had the nerve to [CodeWord140] on another guys contribution! This is why I've stopped posting Pics!

Well, at least after 182 post he did contribute one thing 011 575 371 5000!

But I do hear you! I start to battle with these ?????? and I start to look as crazy as them and lose what little credibility I have here!

Anyhow be safe on your trip, and I will see you on the 26th of this month, I know where to find you!

Actually, I had tried ignoring this dude as well for a while, but he kept at it...with everybody. I asked Jackson to take a look. Can't argue with fools. Don't have that time to waste in my days.

He admits to only having been to Colombia 1 time, for 4 days, yet can't even comment on his 4 days there? Nothing of positive value to the board. No advice, just flames. Generally only in the BAQ thread. Sounds familiar?

Look for him to stop posting under the Elversele moniker, as he did when the Motolo moniker was confined, as he did when the Mister Solo moniker was called out. Then look for a "new" forum antagonist with the same MO to suddenly pop up.

Now back to mongering in BAQ.

I have decided to give Elversele his own thread titled "Elversele in Columbia".

Wise move.

LP, you have to quit this battle of wits with unarmed people.

Very nice recap! I was in Barranquilla last month, and concur with many of your observations. The P4P scene there defintely sucks compared to many other spots, and the real fun is chasing non-pro's, but like you said, who has the time? Many deliberately try to convey the, 'I'm not easy' vibe, but with time , all is possible. As to the finger wagging, I'm Colombian by birth, and boy, did that initially drive me nuts! Even my ex-father in law used to that to me! Equally jarring is their custom of calling out to waiters or waitresses, as 'boy', or 'girl'. However, once you accept the fact that we're impossing our own 'foreign' standards on their culture, you realize they mean no harm. It IS rude though, lol.

Opps! Tom, thanks for the hook up with her! Session 2 with her rocked! As you know Chica has a tight little body that can go the distance!

As you have heard, trying to get rid of her is one stuff nut to crack! LOL!

For 40K that has to be the best simi-pro that LP has had in Colombia, that right I followed your 40K lead LOL!

Thanks again, and tell the guys on the ground Hola for me!

Jennifer's been asking about you.

John, a prima is a cousin.

I was down there for 10 days I stayed with my Novia, but rooms where pretty easy to find, Hell HH I even found a sex shop that I had been looking for!

Give me a few days to post, I also found some good places to hunt and eat!

What up TOM33. might see your ass in another 6 weeks!

[Tom 33]

I had some friends there and chose not to go. Of course I don't like crowds. I'm leaving CTG for MDE during Semana Santa as well.

I stayed at the Royal Hotel. Its about a 2. 5-3 star hotel, depending on what room they give you. I felt a little cheated, because they did not give me the room I deserved. According to their website, they have a business center with Internet access. However, the Internet was constantly down. It was never available. I stayed at the hotel for 7 days, and the Internet did not work, even once. I had to walk down to the Prado for use their Internet. Whenever, I asked the Hotel staff about the Internet, they seemed to look puzzled as if they were saying 'duh. Of course there is no Internet silly! ' The basic room at the Royal, is equivalent to a motel 6. If you get a suite, it is much, much nicer - like a Holiday Inn. I am not sure who built to Royal Hotel. But nothing seems to work there. Never, had any problem with women at the Royal. Which you would expect from a lower-class hotel.

I took a trip to Cartagena. Cartagena is a beautiful city. It is also very, classy, clean and safe. Totally different from the dirty & tough streets of Barranquilla. Cartagena is very tourist friendly, with many shops, Internet Cafe's and banks. The hotels in Barranquilla, don't even know the basics of what a tourist needs. For instance: At the royal hotel, they cannot exchange money. They also don't have an ATM machine. There is no convenience store, for shopping for items you might have forgotten. The Prado doesn't even have an ATM machine. In terms of tourism, I guess one simple statement can sum things up. I was in Barranquilla for 7 days, and did not see come across a single American. Barranquilla, is not supported by tourism. There isn't much American influence there.

The women are friendly toward American's, because its a rare occasion when they meet one of us. In general, they are polite and friendly. Are they the most beautiful? nah. Brazil wins that competition. Easily. But, they are very family oriented. Columbia has different classes of people. The upper class women are a little snooty. You will have to work extra hard to get one. The poor folks, don't give a damn. But, I can never forget being at a disco and asking one of these high-class, superfine chica's to dance. She looked at me and waived her finger at me, like I was a dog. Maybe its a cultural thing. But I've never felt more humiliated. Waive your finger at me? Damn. A simple si o no, would due. Yep, there's definitely snooty people here, who think they are better than everyone else. But, getting a woman in Columbia is just like getting a woman in any Latin country. If your persistent and show them that you are sincere, you'll get them. I have rarely met a Latin woman, who would not go out with an American guy, who is sincere, honest and persistent. The only question is, how much time do you want to put in?

Every woman I met in Barranquilla, asked me one particular question "Why am I in Barranquilla, and who am I seeing"? The woman are not just jealous, they are competitive. I would meet a woman, and then her so called "Prima" (best friend) would hit on me.

I totally agree, that Columbia is for the experienced, fluent traveler. You can't go stumbling around out here, unless you want trouble. On the way back from Cartagena, we were stopped by a group of military police with M16 rifles. They required that we get out of the car, so they could search us and our car. We got through, without problem. But again, not exactly tourist friendly. Totally different experience, when compared to Rio & Dominican Republic. I've walked to streets in Dominican republic at night, never felt threatened.

As I stated, Barranquilla, isn't a tourist spot. Not many Americans go there. It is easy to understand why. Hot weather, ugly beaches, nothing to do in the day. I went to one of the Casa's. The women were quite average - at best. Furthermore, it was overcrowded with locals.

With all that said if I showed you a few pictures of the women I hooked up you would buy your tickets to Barranquilla today.

Share your BAQ Carnival experiences here.

I chose to head to another country instead of Colombia during Carnaval. And several of my local friends in BAQ headed for other cities in Colombia during that time, to avoid the crowds.

I'd like to hear stories, successes and failures. Any problems finding hotels/apartments, monger stuff, willing chicas. Just want to hear your impressions of BAQ.
