Most people have a different take on these two cities. You can't go wrong with splitting your trip up because then you can experience both cities. But for me I could easily and have spent 10 days in Cartagena. I am not really into street walkers and strip clubs, definitely am not into casas. I prefer the way LDV and Elecktra along with other bars do it in Cartagena. I enjoy spending my days on the beach (Cartagena beach is nothing great but I still enjoy it) just being able to sit on a sandy beach and watch all the girls in there bikinis and drinking I can't get enouph of it. There are plenty of girls walking the beach if you want one for the afternoon. Usually after a day at the beach I feel pretty good and have had a nice amount of rum in me and I will head home and take a nice nap from say 6 pm to 11 pm and then I will get dressed and head out. I love that I can get a nice dinner all hours of the night and into the next morning here. I usually head up to Requisimo and eat or just head rite to LDV and get a table and a bottle of rum. From there I can relax and check out which girl I want for the night or just a couple hours. Because the party doesn't stop till 6 or 7 am or anytime before. I pretty much do this every day. Some nights I mix in the walled city and regular little bars (like a german bar in Getsemani (SP) but I neverr got bored and always mix up my days and nights. Its always an adventure. But I am a drinker and Party guy down there so it always flys by to fast. One other note its Colombia, not Columbia. Have a great trip and feel free to PM for any info I didn't answer.
[QUOTE=AlwaysHorny 2; 1344796]First, please guys don't flame me. I'm not a rookie, but I will be a Columbian rookie. I know the rules and I definitely RTFF. I have read about 50 pages each in the Medellin and Cartagena forums in preparation for my 10 night trip at the end of February. I'm wondering what the advantages of one over the other and whether I should split the time in the two locations or just stay in one location. I appreciate any feedback.
Thanks![/QUOTE]
