Salvador

I stayed in Barra on Princesa isabela for a week in 2003. trips to PLRNO were inexpensivevia taxi. About 3 to 10 reais around town on average. Journey to Casquini de Seri was a bit more expensive. Its about 15 minutes from the lighthouse. i met a young lady there who danced very well and to every song that was played. She was a little short on her tab and I picked it up. She only owed about 10 reais. She was extremely happy and asked to go to my apartment. As soon as we got in the taxi she shoved her tongue in my mouth. She couldnt wait to get to business in the room. The next morning we went to get breakfast. Upon her departure I asked if she needed anything for her "time". She said in Portuguese "No because I dont have a program." As it turns out she just really liked me and wanted to spend time. She came back to my apartment 3 times after that. She would come unannounced and when I asked her not to do so she got upset and left. I never saw her again but it was fun while it lasted.

I purchased my airline tickets online with Gol. The price was almost R$600. Reservations were made at the Barra Turismo Hotel for a 10 day stay @ R$60 per day.

Quite impressed upon arrival at Salvador. The airport was modern and well organized. When you exit into the lobby, there is a tourist information office where accomodations can be made. Also, there are many fine ladies working in the other lojas/stores.

Stepping out to the pick up area, you will see several car lanes. Very first lane is for radio taxis (all white cars). The next is for regular metered taxis. and the final lane, are for city buses. To Barra area, Radio taxis charge about R$50, regular taxis around R$35, and the city bus can be caught for around R$5.

Rented a taxi. Took approx. 30 minutes to get to the hotel. The accomodations were definately a two-star, very simple, however, would suffice. I almost want to give it an extra 1/2 star for having a new mattress. BTW, the building is situated in front of a popular beach. My room had an ocean view.

Cutting to the chase, Salvador was a disappointment for me. Like a smacked ass, I was all over the place, visiting those places recommended by fellow brother mongers. I left after 4 days. I tried to leave on my 3rd day, however, there were no flights available. Yes, I paid the extra tarifa to change my flight.

Casquini di Siri was a PITA as it was far out, and a taxi was a must. The talent were in the 5 and 6 range. Taxi costs from Barra are about R$30 each way.

Centro Historico aka Pelourinho was interesting. Most were street walkers around the center. Again, I did not see anything of interest. Just be aware of the ladrones/robbers in the side streets of the square. Don't go beyond the Policia Militar gates that are two to three blocks deep from the town center. These are the limits of PM protection for tourists. PM in Salvador wear brown uniforms BTW.

Free Night had a nice 18y/o for me. She was a 7 at most. Paid R$100. Went to a motel down the road via taxi. The motel was R$43 for 4 hours. After finishing up, I noticed some lipstick on my brand new white shirt I had bought from C&A. She offered to wash it for me, and she did. Quite impressed with her domestic skills. BTW, when you enter FN, all of the chicks rush to you. My advice is walk to the bar, make your selection as soon as possible, and leave. Entry is $R30, and exit is same. Price for the girl is between you and her.

Aeroclube is about as far out as Casquina. The club is popular with locals. If you go there too late, you will not get in. Did see some very nice regular ladies. There is program action around Bob's and Subway sandwiches. Most were between 5 and 6 at most.

Beaches a plenty. Many nice beaches for surfing near the Othon Hotel. Barra Praia has some program action. Like Copa, the seat/umbrella vendors try to hook you up. Avg. 5/6 on the beaches I visited.

Salvador's culture, history, and foods were interesting. Personally, I would not go back there again. After living in Rio for over a year, my tastes have changed. In addition, I am more selective when it comes to women. However, Salvador could be for you. The only way to find out is to visit.

Okay fellaz, time to brainstorm again.

I'm on my way to Brazil, for the 3rd time in 11.5 months, this time I'm going to Salvador Bahia.

I've read all 10 pages of info here, but I just wanted to tap some of your memories, to see if you had any FRESH information for me, or could recommend me a hot young brasileira who could make my acquaintance while in Bahia (pics would be nice also if you have them).

Bahia Boy, i'm gonna need to get a gang of information from you also.

We arrive on Jan. 31st, and I will be there until Feb. 14th. My boys leave on the 7th, but I am going to stay a week alone without them, so i'm going to need lots of things (and women) to do, to keep me busy.

ANY HELP FROM ANYONE WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED!

Thanks fellow mongerers. You all have done me right, I took you alls advice on Rio, and had a great fucking time, I took your advice on Fortaleza, and had a great time there also, let's see if Bahia will fare well for me.

I have left reports on both places I have already been, as I will leave a full report from Bahia also. I may even log on FROM Bahia to leave a few daily status reports, accompanied with pics.

Do me good fellaz. I board the plane on the 30th, that's just 24 days away.

Gents,

I'm heading to Salvador for Carnaval and I'm seeking some info.

I have a good basic knowledge of how the system works, and where I should be staying (anyone know a good hotel cheaper than the Othon?).

What I need to know is where to buy party shirts (both camarote and bloco). I've been told it's better (cheaper) to buy them before going down there. I just can't figure out how to make this purchase long-distance. I also want to do it in a way that I'm fairly sure I won't pay for the shirts...and never receive them.

I'd like to spend a couple of days doing the camarote thing, and maybe one day doing the bloco thing...then spend the rest floating around.

Finally, I've been told (and this makes sense) that some partys are better than others.

I'm hoping someone can offer guidance:
IMPORTANT:

A. What party (camarote and bloco) shirts are the best to buy (looking for friendly brasileiras).

B. What's the best way to pre-order them. I'd like all this to be set up before I arrive.

Less important:

C. If someone can recommend a better arrangement for accomodations than the Othon, please let me know.

I'm packing the digital camera (for in the hotel room) and some disposables (for on the streets) so I hope to post-up some good pic's for everyone to enjoy upon my return!

I was in Casquinha di Siri a night during my stay in Salvador and I knew a nice garota called Luciane who I invited to have dinner in a restaurant near of my hotel.Here I send the photo.I remember,that this girl love to wear sexy high heels and I adore women so.... :-)

The phone number of Luciana is 9942-0659 or perhaps 9942-0689.

It´s a cellular, but at present I don´t know if is working.

Greetings.

I actaully came back from Salvador a couple of weeks ago. I definitely enjoyed myself and would reccommend the destination to all who are looking for a good time. The mongering scene is a little weak. There are plenty of females available, but the quality is lacking. I think that Rio draws the prettiest girls from all over brazil so it is hard to compare rio to salvador. However, salvador has a lot more culture and "flaza" for those who know what that means. people and generally nice and if you speak portuguese you can probably kick it to regular girls. the prostitutes that we ran into were definitely not that good looking. anyway, the one thing that I would post here is that I was almost robbed in Pelirino. so just want people to know that you should be on your guard. most people that that offer you help want something or are going to try and get something from you so be alert.

Thanks

Hoya Boy, I hate to come off as nosey, but your unfortunate mishap comes as a lesson to those of us who have yet travelled those streets and I'd like to know more information on just how you almost got robbed, so that myself, and my friends, can avoid a dangerous mishap like yours...

Please detail what happened to you, and also what you did do/say to get yourself out of the situatuion.

Oh yeah, this being a mongerers forum, please do tell us more about the scene down there in Salvador, people always say its this or that, but they never break down where they landed quality, or what I should avoid at all cost. I do understand that nothing compares to Rio or Sao Paulo when it comes to mongering in Brazil, but would you even rate Bahia comparative to Fortaleza or Recife?

I'm not much of a daytime mongerer myself, I prefer to enjoy the serenity and beauty of my destination, its restaurants, bars, shops, and people. When the sun goes down is when I turn into the dreaded monger vampire that I am. I will only been on the hunt during the evening hours, and from what I've read from others and heard from actual ppl who have been, there's always some worthwhile pussy roaming the streets and clubs of to be had for a fraction of the cost of the pussy in Rio and/or Sao Paulo.

Give me a little more detailed info if you will.

Thanks!

Team,

I'm in tranist to Salvador as I write this--going to be in town for Carnaval! Anyone else going to be out here (I'm in town until the 12th)? I have a camarote rented with some friends on Saturday and Sunday and participating in blocos the remaining days. I'm up for some drinks and mongering anytime. Feel free to drop me a PM if you would like to get together. I'm in my late 20's from the States (Northeast).

Cheers

I went to Tche Night club. Showed up at around 8-9pm the day after the last day of Carnaval. For the most part, it was a waste of time. The quality ranged from 2.5-5.5 (mind you my rating may be skewed a bit since I've been looking at nothing but amazing eye candy during these days of debauchery). 95% of the girls at this dump were dark-skinned, heavier-set garotas-- personally, not my cup of tea. Entrance was free and they had a R10 drink minimum (a Skoal was R5). They do an all nude show with the girl dancing, minus the pole as it was missing for some reason. I had my two drinks and took off.

Once outside, I saw about 5-6 SW's and walked by one group of three, only to find out they were transsexuals. About-faced and walked to the opposite corner and came across a semi-cute (~6.5), petite, light-skinned gorata named, uhhh, I forget her name. She did have a reddish dress on, with flat red sandals and even her hair was tinted red. I asked her how much, where, etc -- she told me it would be R30 for programa completa, the hotel would cost R25, at which point I acted a bit wary--she immediately countered by saying she know a R5 hotel (for two hours) a few blocks away. Service was okay, she delivered as promised (completa!) including a BBBJ and CIM.

Again back outside, I decided to scope out whatever action was still around--but nothing except transsexuals! I would estimate there were around 15-20 in a five block radius. From what a cab driver told me, whatever action there is, all takes place on Rua Carlos Gomes (same street where Tche Night Club is located) and also on Avenida Sete (which runs parellel to Rua Carlos Gomes). I hopped in a cab and decided to head over to Eros (I think it is in Ondina, it is up the block from Free Night and right across the street from the beach).

Eros was a bit more pricer, but I really just wanted to see some quality so I didn't fuss over the R30 admission, and R4.50 waters (beer was R7.50). The quality here was admittedly better, but still much left to be desired. My main problem with this place was the attitude of the girls here STANK. They were all very lazy, just sitting around, watching the show or chatting with each other. Very few were trying to make eye contact or try to hook up. Now, I'm not a bad looking guy, and I'm kind of on the younger side (<30) and dress well--these girls were just not interested in anyone; personally I was offended =)

Anyway, I'm off to SP for a few weeks--I know I will be more than happy there. If anyone is interested, I did manage to get one number from the only girl at Eros who seemed like she really wanted to party--her name is Denize (pronounced D-neez-ee) 071-9142-0244. She is a golden-skinned morena, with a really nice body, but small chest. I didn't experiment with her, but I think she would be fun. Anyway, I think things are slow all around since everyone is resting after Carnaval.
Cheers!

Plan early, and book in advance! Budget between 400-1000R for your admission into the various events. There is basically one main site to get things done online, but it is in Portuguese: Central Do Carnaval ([url]http://www.centraldocarnaval.com.br/[/url]).

Bahia Online ([url]http://www.bahia-online.net/[/url]) is an excellent resource regarding the basics about Carnaval and about Bahia/Salvador in general. I participated in the blocos as well as the camarotes. Between the two, I had the most fun partying in the blocos (the cordorned off area around the truck where the band performs). The most popular blocos are Chiclete com Banana, Timbalada, Ivette, and Araketu. Me Ama had the best looking girls--not sure if this holds true every year. Both the blocos and camarotes are fairly pricey, but the camarotes I feel draw upon the more well-to-do crowd that doesn't wish to mix with all the local ruffians, even more so than the blocos. The camarote I was a part of was Axe Mix--this was held at the Casa D'Italia, on the Circuito Avenida (Centro). That means that it went up Av. Sete de Setembro and came down on Rua Carlos Gomes. You are basically partying above the crowd below with a nice view of all the blocos. This camarotes also had a pool, medical staff, three bars, food, etc. In my opinion, no matter where you party, you will have a good time--it's hard not to when the ratio almost always is 2-3:1 (girls/guys).

I personally was not robbed, but I was careful about my person and surroundings. I kept my digicam with me throughout the four days--my buddy, a local actually had his ID stolen by a pickpocket.

All in all, between the four days I must have made-out with 20+ girls without even trying very hard. The only problem was converting these mini make-out sessions into some actual bed action. The key here would be to make sure you keep a pen/paper handy and get every girls number that you can and try to set up some daytime action the following day (take them to the movies, the mall, lunch, etc.). Same night action, although possible, was tough for me because there were so many lovelies that I just wanted to butterfly around. Not to mention that my Portuguese is pretty weak.

I´m here long enough for the ladies to be rested after carnival.

I was in Sao Paulo for a week and had the time of my life. Every time got better and better. Made some good friends etc. I felt on a roll, so I decided to take a 3 day detour through Salvador to Rio. Be with my "people" a bit.

I gathered, "THE" place is Caskhina. Semi-outdoor...sorta like stadium design, but just 2 levels. The music is "ao vivo". The groups sucked in my opinion. An almost top 20-type music. Nothing with a beat or groove that got me "bumpin". I got there at 10 (a 15min. 30R ride from the Blue Tree Hotel).

Over the next 3 hours I saw nothing that made me want to take the Levitra I had with me. I came here because I wanted to see more of the beautiful darker girls I see in Sao Paulo and Rio. There was a range of color and sizes. Perhaps 300 people in the place.

The inner tables are generally for non-mongers and their famlies. Yes, I saw what I thought looked like family get togethers. Lots of couples and groups of tourists.

The outer tables are for the mongers. The girls enter down the ramp to the left. They do the "runway walk" around the mid-perimiter towards the bathrooms. One thing I noticed is a lot of young affected attitude, if you know what I mean. Again, I saw nothing above a 6. I´m pretty sure, because a 7 will usually give me the feeling like I would like to see what´s underneath the clothes. A six, for me, is a sort of "I can do that". I was so disappointed that I had no interest in the one 6 that wasn't taken.

There were a few 7's and 8's, but in the non-mongering areas. Not tourists, but GDP's ( Garotas de Programma) with the guys that found them.

I did have fun chatting with this cutie with a fat ass and saggy tits (for her age). Spoke lot's of portugese and learned a few things. I don't think there is a work-out culture here. Perhaps it's the relative poverty.

At 1, I took a cab to Tche. Sort of a strip joint (see Bonhead's very accurate discription below)...told Wilson the cabbie to wait outside for a while. Nothing but "chum" dentro do club . Bad attitude all around except for a couple friendly gals I chatted with a while.

I got back to the Blue Tree feeling totally defeated, tired and a bit drunk. Out on my balcony I could see and hear quite a 'barulho'. At the base of the hill the hotel sits on, is a large parking lot at the water's edge. Rows of plastic tables, 10 deep and perhaps 50 yards long. Food and drinks are sold from a row of tents.

Maybe 300, mostly younger, folks. I don't think this place is for the GDP's. I also only saw 3 or 4 7's. And I'm being generous. But the food looked so good, I'm eating there in an hour.

There are lot's of tourists here with famlies. It reminds me of the carribean.

I just over heard two older Brit's. ( please don't ask me what I mean by "older". Perhaps 20 yrs. older than me. I'm 44). They have spent lot's of time here and were talking about how Natal is so nice. Where lot's of brazilians retire. "Fortaleza isn't so nice because the prostitution is getting out of hand"...SWEET!!!

Well, I called the airlines and my hotel in Rio. I should be at Monte Carlo by 8.

There is a club called "Fashion Club" between the Blue Tree and Caskinhas. I'm told lot's of university students are there. And that fri. and sat. nights are hot. Sorry, but I've done my "research".

Tudo de bom pra voces!

I figure they will be drumming outside my window until4, so I'm just waitin' for my pill to kick-in. I leave for Rio at noon tomorrow. I'll be at the aeroporto by 10.

I had dinner down at the bottom of the hill. But across the street, as suggested by the stunning beauty at the front desk. All I could think of after talking to her was "where were your poor-ass cousins last night when I was at Caskinha?".

There were probably 75% families "passeando", having dinner. But some stunningly beautiful locals in the mix. That black/indio mix is something special. I actually got a sorta negative vibe being the only single man at the place.

The food was awesome. A sizzling fillet on the grill, on my table. The highlight of the trip was sharing my extra kibbes and fries with the little kids trying to sell peanuts to people with 12 oz. steaks and fish stew in front of them.

Back at the hotel, I was on my way up to my room in the elevator. This freaking FINE brazileira hops on and asks me my name. One floor up and she pops out saying how good my portugese is.

This girl made my heart thump two good ones.

She points to me as she walks down the hall, " so I'll see you around. My name is Alessandra, what's yours?"

Now I know it's just two phone calls away, but shit. I don't know what to do here. I've got surgery at 8 am mar.7th. and won't be having much sex again until august. I'm on a mongering furlow from fucking sex prision. Haven't had any in 2 days, and I'm not willing to change things again to meet her at the pool tomorrow with her boyfriend. Or is it only american women that would do such a thing?

Well, there was no drumming last night until 4. This dude set up his car with a ten trillion watt system in the trunk. I could hear the misic like it was on "8" in my room. I sorta liked it until I tried to sleep.

Non-stop until 7:30 am. I called the desk at 6. They did the deer in the headlights thing.

So, I´m just typing to stay awake until I hop into the cab. Not taking any chances with this flight.

Oh, and I did run into the hottie from the elevator. Having breakfast with her groom.

I think this hotel is a big honeymoon destination. Snuggling new couples everywhere.

Well, I´m off to do some "snuggling" of my own...
