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.
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.

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.

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!

Hey Fellas!
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.
Thanks in advance!

Posts: 2291In terms of the literature of our profession, the profession of hoaring, there are these great books, one of which I carry with me:
Jorge Amado, the double death of quincas water bray -- set in Bahia, middle class tax collector leaves his family at age of 50 calling them "serpents" and lives his life to 61 in the hoarhouses of Salvador until he dies and his 4 real friends steal his body, and bury him at sea eating a Moqueca, when his body is carried out to sea on a wave, the corporal having lead the procession in a patrol against marijuana smokers whom are outsmarted through an alliance with bus drivers.
FIM, by Torres, Fernanda. 5 friends in the period of 1969 and the two decades afterwards live their best lives as hoarmongers (though most of the sex is with non pros, it is a good depiction of the Rio culture).
Always a good report, and makes me want to go to Salvador. I will make a mental note to check this thread and to go find this girl, as your reports in 2013 of some good girls at Annes Massagems and the other Prive out in the same building as the auto body shop tigressa tijuca were a great guide to some good girls that I did duplas with.
I have a contact who lives in Brazil and who does a split each year of half the year in Porto Allegre and the other half in Bahia, a city near Salvador. This seems to be a good lifestyle.
I have been talking to a local contact here who is smart and well educated and who regularly gets gringoéthe. He visited Porto Alegre (POA), and he says he likes it more than Rio for the quality of the women, many from bloodlines from Germany and Italy in the big waves of immigration, 1898, post WW1, post WW2.
In theory, in Rio de Janeiro, there are many places like Leblon and Barra which are more like Rio Grande do Sul in the quality of the women, the education, the sophistication; and in Rio there are many places that are like Salvador -- zona norte, Niteroi, VM, to find the negra asses. So, this is why I stay in this megacity of 12 million souls. It is a pretty good öne and done" destination. But I need to get up to Salvador and down to POA this year to get acclimated to the full rainbow of Brazilian culture in this great country.
I would bet it much easier to just blend in to a semi permanent life in Brazil in less bureaucratic Bahia than in POA which is whiter, more Germanic, more organized, more fascistic, more nazi. Brazil a diplomat once told me is best lived in its states, like Londrina and Curitiba in Parana; in POA in Rio Grande do Sul; in Salvador, Bahia;.
Thanks for the report, a instant report of distinction as often. I believe that you are our best regular all time poster, and I nominate you for some kind of lifetime achievement reward, along with our evil saints, Bubba Boy, etc, like evilangel.com, our patron saints of Jazz Duro (who used to shoot some great boy girl porn before getting wifed up with Monica Santiago, who is too fucking old to be doing porn), John Stagliano, and Joey Silvera, all buttmen in their heyday, and if you can believe it, MamboPerv, who is the best living and current director of the great asses of Brazil, even now out at Praia Abrico and Praia Reserva and Barra Posto 1 if you see his most recent stuff.
Here in Rio, I had a regular negra over for a few hours yesterday, we fucked 3 times and I paid her 200 reais at my place at Barra P8, plus uber, plus 200 in ifood so CPF (cost per fuck) was about 100 r or 150 counting food. (xpost, Rio de Janeiro). I won't bore you with the details, but on my macbook pro M1 I played 4 different porno scenes, including kira noir getting dommed in a severefilms piece from kink.com my ATF site I actually pay for, and Noemie Bilas, speaking of negras, as I chatted up that negra at AVN, and she says her blood lines come from africa directly where her father was a US Marine, which I tried (unsuccessfully) to fake and make my approach, but the negra hoar said she already had friends, but here in Rio I was fucking as 21 year old negra for the 3 d time, and she tolerated all the simultaneous porno on my screen including mulatta kira noir getting spanked by a blond, which reaches deep into my pysch as I am sure that in a just world 50 years ago my german mother would and should have been serving me up the mulatta girls as sex toys, something ideally like Annette Schwartz bringing me perhaps a young Midori or monique or some such perversion, but we lived in a good Lutheran Catholic idyll, there in Lugano, Switzerland and Basel, Switzerland, my father having been a Lieutenant Colonel in the Swiss Navy Air Force, though just a finance officer, and my mother having been a nun, like Julie Andrews trekking from Austria. Such are the power of repeatedly watching films on our brains.
