Medellin Bobīs Cali Mansion openning soon, stand by gentlemen.
Aussie Greg.
If anybody can run a good place in Cali ... it'll be Roberto ... always runs a good show.
Be careful though in Cali guys ... it's a bit more "caliente" than Medellin these days ... and I'm not referring to the weather ... I'm talking the peligro (danger).
Suerte!
as much as I like Roberto and wish him well in whatever he does, I much lament the spread of monger establishments to Cali (not that I liked it happening in Medellin either, but Cali is special to me). I quite liked Colombia as it WAS, not how it is becoming. Guess it was inevitable ):
Yes, I agree I like Colombia the way it is. But with the Cali Mansion opening up it will definatley bring change. Im not cheap but its no secret this will definatly bring up prices across the board.Women Housing Food I have frequented Cali for the past three years and I have noticed prices going up every time I go back. I expect it to go up due to inflation but I have familiy there that have told me its because of all the gringos girls are asking for more and the quality has gone down more Robotic. I have noticed the influx of gringos each time I go. I by no means dont have a problem with it. But they usually dont know the going price and usually get charged double. I always mention to them "Dont over pay" I have in past have been informed by P4P and regular girls Gringos are easy meal tickets. With that said I know Robert is helping mongers but in a way hes hurting the regulars that have been around unescorted. Not to mention he is probably planining to take a cut of all the business that comes in. I dont blame him but this will definatley bring prices up for everyone if they stay at the manision or not. Change is inevitable but I like baby steps not warp drive.
Just my 2 cents.......
Luis The Great,

Bob/Aussie, you boys got the balls, ha, ha!! NOW, another mansion in Cali! I LOVE it!!! I will be flying (USA) into and out of Cali mid November and mid December. If there is anything I can do to help . . . please let me know.
What grand times us mongers had, I have many good memories from the Medellin Mansion. Just a couple more decades for me, and damn, all of this will probably just be another fun memory!! I have a bunch photos from the mansion I would like to post. Do you want me to run them by you first??
Thanks for all your efforts. You lucky dogs!!
The newly bilingual QBert, some dumb f*ck from NYC and I, hope to visit Cali soon and drive the prices up.
For the whiners...I guess Haiti is the next destination.
Hey is it common to get airfares from Miami to Cali RT for about $450??? I just made a reservation but I think it is going to be harder to get from Cali to Rio then I first thought. So I may have to rethink this and go to Rio first then make my way back up towards Colombia and eventually back to Miami.
Hey Surfer,
How are the beaches in the vicinity of Cali? I remeber reading some old posts of yours last year and you seemed to like it. Is it rockier and seemingly cleaner then say Cartegena, beaches (which were not that impressive anyway).
Have you ever flown from Cali to Lima? About how much would that cost one way?? THanks.
The major port serving Cali is Buenaventura. I would strongly suggest that you avoid it at all costs. Cali is the least safe of the major cities, and the surrounding countryside is less safe yet.
Humm good to know T33. Thanks
Z:
Never went because nobody that did had anything good to say about it. Screwedup and mahardjah went before I met them in Medellin (and posted a blurb here). Ladrilleros is the sandy beach, Bueneaventura is a muddy port.
Whole arera is dicey security wise, as is the road from Cali.
Cali is not the most dangerous city in Colombia at all. Barrancabermeja, in Santander Department on the Magdalena river, holds that ignominious distinction.
Only flight from Cali going South that I know is to the Ecuadorian border .
You'll have to go to BOG to get to Lima and flights within South America tend to bve pricey due to little competition. If you have Delta miles you can get an award on Avianca and on LAN if you have American miles (United's only partner in SA is Varig which is no help to you)
I see. Thanks surfer, I'll limit myself to Cali. Have you ever flown from Colombia to Rio or the other way around?
Z: For beaches why not fly to San Andres from Cali?
I have flown to Ecuador and Peru from Colombia, and to Brasil from Peru, but never direct. Varig had a flight from BOG to Sao Paolo but they are in BK and not sure flight is still operating. Another problem is there is a HORRIBLE schedule with a several hour layover in the middle of the night in Manaus.
My suggestion would be to use AA miles on LAN which has a nonstop from BOG to Lima, then another nonstop from Lima to GRU (Sao Paolo). An excellent airline IMHO. PERHAPS TAM, the #2 Brazilian carrier and another aa partner, has added Bogota service by now.
The LIM-BOG-LIM flight unfortunately has a half hour stop in Quito...but you donīt get off the plane. No business class either, have to ride in back with the riff raff. hahahaha
