Cartagena Reports

[Sammon]

Can anybody suggest a English speaking guy in Cartagena who I can contact for help. Do not mind paying him for services like help with accommodation, girls, tours etc. I can speak passable Spanish but really need English speaking guy.

You can PM me with name and number. Booked to go in November. First visit to Cartagena although been to other cities in Colombia.

Thanks in advance.

Thursday.
Until the next adventure!

I enjoyed reading the adventures! The newbie caught on fast. I have a vet as a wingman however, he seems to continuously think like a newbie.
You can lead a horse to pasture but you cant make it drink. Sometimes you got to let guys bump their heads as long as theyre not killing themselves.

Usually I don't post detailed reports and just comment on things here and there based on my experience,

Thanks for posting detailed reports. They were very informative and enjoyable. Much better than just I picked up a hot chick from DV and fucked her six ways to Sunday.

Thursday.

I have no idea what time it was, I just remember my boy knocking on my door waking me up saying his chica cooked breakfast. I wake up my chica, we wash up and head to the kitchen, new guy is no where to be found. I go to knock on his door and hear him in there getting his last one in. Ok, cool, I guess she's his breakfast. I'm talking to my boy about loosing power and he had no idea, I'm asking him if the girls went home and came back, he has no idea. So I ask my chica if she went home and came back, she said no she just stayed. We finish eating and the chicas take the dishes to wash then and Newbie comes out wit his chica. She's all smiles and giggling, I don't even want to ask so I just shake my head laughing and point to the food. Apparently she helped him pack up and he was ready to go, it now about 12 noon. Its just then Newbie ask if his Covid test is still good and I realize he took the test Sunday and its Thursday, so I tell him to text back the number and tell them he needs another test ASAP. Surely enough they show up in an hour gives him the test and hes good to go but have to wait for the results. We all go out to chill by the pool, newbie is taking his last set of pictures for memories of his first experience and the bird is making noise again, he's trying to find it and his chica points it out to him on a light pole and he mumbles "fucking chupa huevo" everyone starts laughing. Its now almost 2 pm and now he understands the timing to get to the airport. He gets out, gets a cab and hes off once again (his chica is still here in the apartment).

He said once he realize the cab made the left turn to enter the airport he started looking for the 20 mil and found it before the cab made it over the first speed bump. When the cab stopped he says he paid the cab before they both got out, they then both got out and the cab driver handed him the suitcase, a guy came up to him and signaled for him to hand over the suitcase asking which airline and he told him thanks he got it. (he learned from the last time). He jumps on the Jet blue line and starts sending back pictures of some guy with a pink duffel bag with a pineapple on it asking if this wasn't the same guy that was in Space with a shirt that said "Tight" on it. I decide to give him departure remorse and send him a picture of his chica playing in the pool so stops texting for a while jajaja. Then he texts back once hes in the terminal waiting, saying the plane is leaving early. I ask him if he paid his chica he said "yea and gave her extra for taxi". Its whatever, I'm just going to let her chill along with my chica and my boys chica, they're getting along and just playing in the pool and on their phones doing stories.

Its now around 7 pm, girls still here, my boy decides to do something different and wants to walk over to Getsemeni by that circle place were all the locals and backpackers hang out. We all get ready and start walking over, the girls are in front of us leading the way and we are behind them just talking about random stuff when this one tout sees us and starts walking along side us, starts talking to us saying "girls, Delirium got girls, mucha chicas". I respond back with "tu bien, no chicas esta noche. Gracias". He's still following us so we cut across to the Space / Dolce side and hes now saying "Space its free, no covid" and he keeps constantly repeating it to the point of annoying my boy got so annoyed and said something to him in Spanish. I have no idea what he said but tout backed off and disappeared. We hang out or a bit, went in a few random places but didn't like the menus and just got drinks. We wouldn't dare touch the street food though, so we just listening to the live music and enjoying the crowd. Very relaxed environment, everyone is doing their own thing, no one bothering anyone, it was truly a break from the constant touts. We decide to just play it chill tonight and hang out in the apartment and walk back. My boy tells the girls "we just going to chill in the apartment tonight nothing crazy and if you want, you can hang out". We still hungry though so I just reorder Pizza with Rappi and we start walking back so by the time we get to the apartment the pizza will be arriving.

Newbie lands. He's texting, he's been waiting for his bag for like 20 minutes because they combined his bag carrousel with another flight from Grenada and they have tons of bags. I'm laughing because he had a carry on and should have put it in the overhead bin so I just send him a video of his chica playing in the pool again. He wants to know why she's still there, I tell him she's just hanging out. Pizza gets here, we start eating and start playing UNO, this time without shots (We learned from last time).

Usually I don't post detailed reports and just comment on things here and there based on my experience, but trying to teach the new guy and encountering the Sosua travel group I just had to post the report. It just goes to show just because someone reads reports and watches youtube videos of what happens in CTG does not make them an expert once they arrive. It took multiple times of me telling the new guy why I don't go into Delirium, he didn't get it when the chicas was telling him 800 mil, he didn't get it when he got outbid, but he finally got it when he had beer bellies rubbing up against him. The size of the boat, him trying to do social media out in the middle of the islands, customary things he needs to be aware of, why we don't do certain things in the day time, etc. All things he now knows because he had to see it first hand and it will make his next visit better.

I'm back state side now. Until the next adventure!

I've eaten at El Muelle a few times when I stayed in Bocagrande or El Laguito. Over the years the food does not taste the same as it use to.

Last several times I have eaten then I have gotten diarrhea, all the time. Truth!

I've read multiple times in this forum that Christmas is a bad time for hobbying in Cartagena (girls go home to be with family, etc) My question is, is the entire month of December no good? Just avoid the week of Christmas? Is early December still a good time to visit?

Thanks in advance.

The first 2 weeks can be good. If your lucky enough to spot a non pro mommy, looking for some money to buy Christmas presents. Once you get near Christmas it can get pretty slow. However, in this time of covid and an influx of Venezuelan chics who can't get home for the holidays it could be pretty good. BUT the beach is always good for the week between Christmas and New Year Colombians always like to hit the beach that week. Just look for a group of girls, not families LOL. Going on vacation. You might get lucky.

I flew in the day after Christmas last year and stayed until after the new year. I had a blast! I already know chicas who actually live there. There were enough on the beach and in centro. Certainly slower than usual, but enough.

About ten years ago I had the best damn grilled fish I have ever eaten at a restaurant right there on the El Laguito section of the beach. If you walked out of Hotel Dann and took a right and.

Follow Carrera 1 onto the beach it would be the last place on the left as you step onto the beach. It is listed as El Muelle now, looking at the photos I think it is either changed over or they just upped their game p0 when I ate their ten years ago, they came out with one of those large cooking sheets covered with freshly caught fish and said "this is the menu, pick one" - then they grilled it and served it with some coconut rice and a small pile of lettuce and tomatoes they called salad. They scaled it and gutted it but they left the head so that the fish was staring up at you as you eat it ! That was an awsome fish though.

Some of the best fish I've eaten was at Restaurant La Diana. Follow Calle 1 B all the way to the end and right before reaching the Hilton make the right and walk down to the make shift open tent. Some of the best Red Snapper I've eaten. They bring out the tray with all the fish on it and tell you the price for each one then fry them up. The only thing that sucks was no running water so when its time to wash your hands from eating the fish they bring a small container filled with soapy water. Also the flies, many flies so while we were are eating with one hand we were batting away files with the other jajajaja. Totally worth it though.

This photo was taken from my room at the Hotel Dann and the fisherman have large nets that they deploy offshore hundreds of feet with about twenty guys pulling the net towards shore which takes them awhile.

When they get the net to the beach it's typically filled with trash like plastic bottles, cans, and fish. Sometimes they may only catch a few dozen fish or a few hundred. Lot's of people come up to the boat when there transferring the caught fish from the nets to containers in the boat and some people are buying them right there. Doesn't get any fresher than this. It's hard to believe how incredible fresh fish can be as you described.

[Mojo Bandit]

I that fish locally caught?

Upon arriving at the Dann Hotel I walked over to my favorite restaurant one block away, confirmed the hours and checked on what fresh fish they had. They didn't have Sierra which is Spanish Mackerel but said they would get me one for dinner. I then hit EXITO across from the Hotel and stocked up on beverages and snacks and checked in at the Dann Hotel.

Sierra is nasty.

Spanish Mackerel is not like Tuna. Not at all, it's a mackerel, but not the stinky type. Actually more like a cross between halibut and swordfish. Also used in Sushi a lot.

[Kafka]

Sierra is nasty.

After years of fucking parsley and looking at pussy; you finally figured it out. LOL.

[GrownMan1]

Does a bear shit in the woods! Caught in a net right off the beach by the restaurant.

It's called Sierra which is Spanish Mackerel. A cross between halibut and swordfish.

And now a question for you.

Do you know the difference between parsley and pussy?

You don't eat parsley! LOL.

After years of fucking parsley and looking at pussy; you finally figured it out. LOL.

[Surfer500]

Is this Dann hotel girlfriendly? Did they charge you extra?

Don't know I just have my Chica with me and registered her in as I booked a room for two.

I'm the only old fart with a woman forty years younger with me in tow that I have noticed at least yet.
