Did you not see the Hilton ?
[QUOTE=Sweetlemon]I guess we got that sorted out.
I think I'm going to stand by the ATM complaint. From Laguito it's about a 20 to 30 mintue walk to an ATM in Boca Grande round trip which in my book is pretty inconvinient (though perhaps maditory walking is good for the health). The only ATM I can find in Laguito is the one near the frozen yogurt place which is down most of the time.
Anyway, the Colombian women are as gorgeous as any women anywhere on any measure, that much is certain.[/QUOTE]
There is a Hilton in Laguito, it has an ATM. I used it many times. A hop, skip, and jump from the Torre Centauro. Next time use that and stop wasting time going to Boca Grande.
Tom- I guess Sweetie would not understand why you are in CTG
Gee I wonder why you are still there. I would think you would rather be in The United States of America, where the women are pasty,fat and think you own them not just something, but everything. God I know the weather must be awful in CTG also, I mean you can be in Green Bay in Janurary and have better climate. I bet you would sacrifice the hot colombianas for an opportunity to hang out at the local Bowling alley.
All kidding aside, some people Tom do not have the ability to evaluate data in front of them and make a decision or have a mild discomfort in Cartagena and you would think all hell had broken loose. So an ATM does not work, BFD.....

Trip Report - Day 2-4 in Cartagena (11/25-11/28)
Warning: Long report with a lot of non-mongering info.
Day 2:
We left the hotel at 9am for a 11:30am flight to Cartagena. The checkin was smooth and security fairly relaxed. We arrive way early thinking it'd take us a while to get checked in and through security. The flight was uneventful and we had the A Foreign Affair guys send a taxi to pick us up. It cost 25USD which was definitely above market rate. I would take a taxi myself next time and save a few bucks to tip the girls.
The driver took us to Caribe Real where the building manager had the key waiting for us. While "checking in" we met Carlos from Puerto Rico who was glad to help us out. After we examined our apartment, I was a bit disappointed at the quality. For 80 a night for 2 bedrooms, I considered it pretty cheap but the quality wasn't as good as I wanted. Also, one of the windows lacked curtains exposing the entire room to the hotel next door. After calling A Foreign Affair, they couldn't send someone until Monday. We decided to just put up bed sheets for now. This trip is starting to suck. It was hot and humid and apartment wasn't great and I just felt uncomfortable.
The whole city is based off tourist money. Stupid tourists that buy stupid shit and EVERYONE asked for a tip for anything. It was here I saw something I've never seen before: mobile phones. Basically a woman carried a cell phone around and you whistled or called her over and she'd dial for you and charge you 900 pesos to make the call. I'd later find out that right next door in a regular shop, you can make calls for 300 pesos. Waste of a good 40c :P.
In the afternoon, we walked around the neighborhood checking out Laguito. We then took a cab to Plaza Santo Domingo for some food. I felt this was a rip off and the food wasn't great for the price. Also people would come around hawking all sorts of shit again and again and again. How many times do I have to say no. I swear I keep seeing the same guys come back with different things and even the same guys come back with the same things!
After lunch we took some pictures and walked along the old city walls taking a bunch of pictures. It really wasn't that interesting, just a lot of walking. For dinner, we took the advice of the CTG list and went to the "best" restaurant in town called San Pedro Claver. To our surprise, it was full. We had to make a reservation for the next night. We ended up with some Italian fast food in Laquito.
After dinner we decided enough is enough. We're going to Pleyboy and hailed a cab. The driver drove us way out of town and when we arrived he asked if we wanted him to wait. We got a price quote of 15k for the trip to and back and the wait which IMO, was a pretty good price. We arrived at around 10:30.
We headed in and it's a strip joint with few men and lots of girls. We pick a seat right infront of the shower and order up some beers. After a couple of mins, we notice the driver come in and sat next to us. We bought him a beer and chatted up for a bit. I then see this hot chica that was dancing next to us and I call her over. She was a lot of fun and energetic. We danced a bit in the club grinding and bumping. She excused herself for a bit and after 5 mins I was wondering WTF did she go. Then the lights dimmed and a stripper came out and yup, it was Karen.
She was a great dancer and stripper with a tight body. IMO, one of the best in the club. Even before that I had made up my mind to pull her for the night. After she was done, we left pretty much immediately. I paid the 300k and about 38k or so for the drinks. At the bar waiting for her to get dressed, I bump into a Colombiano that worked in Europe but lived half of the time in Colombia. We chatted up a bit about various places to hit and he mentioned Peirrar (sp?) and said the town is filled with beautiful women. He also mentioned Cali but we weren't planning on it this trip and I also explained my [url=http://isgprohibitedwords.info?CodeWord=CodeWord140][CodeWord140][/url] poor Spanish probably wouldn't fly there. We now had to find a girl for Ivan.
The driver took us to Venus but the quality was very bad. It was also full of guys which initially look intimidating but the light was so dim it really didn't matter. We left after 1 round of drinks and a bad strip show.
We then went to Casa Marina and there were only 5-6 girls chilling outside and no one inside. We shook our heads and Ivan decided that he would not take a chica home tonight. I had an excellent night with Karen whom was both young (18 yrs old) and fun. She'd be one of my best sessions in Colombia.
Day 3:
Next morning Karen got up quite early and I joined her on the balcony overlooking the ocean at around 8:30am. I got a great private Spanish lesson and talked for the next 3 hrs or so. She's from Medellin and described a lot of the city to me. At around 12, she leaves to join her sister and we leave to Riquisimo for lunch. We chill for a while and then went to castillo de San Felipe for a quick stroll. Being the gringo freaks that we are, we were approached by a random couple to pose for pictures with his wife/gf.
After the castle, we returned to change and shower and off we go to San Pedro Claver. This is a pretty nice restaurant and the hostest is pretty cute too. We made reservations for the next night since it was pretty much the only restaurant we'd consider good enough to enjoy dinner. We'd later find a few more restaurants in the area that was pretty decent but did not have a chance to try out.
At around 9:30, I called the driver from last night, Ever, to pick us up again tonight. He arrives and off we go chica hunting again. We hit casa Rocio first which was in the outskirts of the city in an average neighborhood. A few guys were sitting out on the steps infront of the house and it definitely felt weird pulling up to a place like this. We enter and there were a couple of chicas sitting to the left in a small lounge area and many many more in the backyard. This is just like a normal house except it's a brothel. A bunch of guys were already at the tables drinking and celebrating someone's birthday. We pull up a few chairs and began to examine the row of 15 girls all sitting in lawn chairs perfectly lined up against the wall.
My friend decides on a cute 20 yr old girl with BIG natural boobs. The normal price is 80k pesos for the house fine for the night and 200k for the girl. He manages to negociate it down to 100k for the girl even though his spanish is limited to numbers and some basic words. Good job! We then hit casa Marina and again the same 4 girls. I leave disappointed to Manila house. There were 4 girls and I call one over that looked petite and young but turns out she was approaching late 20s and did not look as cute close up. Her name was Sandra, blonde, and 27 yrs old. I had to reject her hard. Sorry, it's just business and you just don't do it for me.
Off we go to Chica Linda. This is definitely a place I would not feel comfortable by myself. It has the very ghetto feeling to it and not a big crowd nor a lot cute of girls. There were a decent number of girls, just that they weren't cute. The strip show was crappy but the driver knew the owner or something. Anyway, we had a drink and leave.
So not giving up, we went back to Casa Rocio AGAIN and it turned out to be a bad idea. At this time, all the girls are tired and few were milling around. She tried to hook me up with her friend but her friend was just too much of a typical bronx latina and I just didn't feel like flying 3000 miles to fuck a bronx latina. No pull tonight. So I'm here now, alone, on my bed and completely lost my voice writing in my journal. I think I caught a cold from one of the girls (kissing is bad! Bad!) and just talking too much for the last few days. Need rest, hope to regain voice and strength tomorrow.
Day 4:
Spent most of the day sleeping and resting. Sunbathed a little bit hoping to tan my pale face and chest. We had lunch at Riquisimo again. The steak is just not that good. I'm hoping Medellin would be much better. I took another nap in the afternoon and did not go out until the thunderstorm had passed in the late afternoon. It flooded AGAIN. Everyone said on the first day we got here that the streets were flooded b/c of some once in 10 year type of event but that was total bullshit. It rained and all the streets flooded again closing down half of the streets and making it a nightmare to drive through town. It took us nearly an hour to get from Laquito to Paseo Castellana. By the time we got to the mall, it was almost time to leave. We strolled around for an hour quite disappointed before going back to San Pedro Claver for dinner again. We noticed something odd. A very cute girl was having dinner by herself. No, we didn't try anything but probably should've. We thought we might have been able to proposition her as well but decided to behave.
Anyway, we hook up with Ever again and did the regular route again. We needed some money exchanged so he takes us to "El Coche" in Laguito that is open 24 hrs. The gates were down but a guy in there took our money through the little hole and came back with pesos. I don't mind black market cambios since I hate giving out passport and thumb prints for a few hundred bucks. Anyway, this time he offered up some girls for us and we took a look. We actually went to the place and it was just some regular home with family photos and the whole thing was really weird. Since these girls don't work in the clubs, they supposedly don't have as many customers and were "cleaner" than the pros. I guess these were semi-pros. I didn't take anyone because the whole thing just felt weird. In retrospect, it was dangerous for us to even go to such a place in the middle of the night in colombia out in the middle of no where. This apartment complex was like the projects in the Bronx and yet we went anyway.
Anyhow, went we to Casa Marina and it disappointed us yet again. 4 girls! WTF! We then went to a place called "Inter" which is a block away from Pleyboy and the place sucked. Even though there were 8 girls or so and some looked doable, they were not under the light. I did a chica interview but had to reject her as she looked old and busted under the light. We left to pleyboy once again. Here I found Veronica. A hot girl from Medellin that was probably the best looking girl I fucked for the whole trip. 19 yrs old, morena, tight body, great face, and confident composure. She is definitely my type of girl. I pulled her out for 300k. My #2 in Cartagena and both were from Medellin. I found that the best looking girls came from Medellin anyway so I was psyched to go to Medellin as our last leg of the trip. She is a very quiet girl but was decent in bed. I didn't care if she didn't say much. Her body was fuckin great! She later tell sme she has a kid that'd 3 years and there is no way in hell I'm believing that. That is one hell of a mom if she was telling me the truth. Anyway, she left around 10 the next morning.

Trip Report - Day 5 in Cartagena (11/28)
Day 5:
<snip>
That was really the last of it though. We got a quick drink and back down we drove. We decided to ask him to take us to Paseo de Castellana which is a local mall. We walked around a bit and saw a few more cute girls than last night when we were here briefly. We wandered around, bought some shirts (which btw, is pretty cheap at only 25-30 dollars for dress shirts) before heading out to dinner. We asked him to recommend something for us. Something with seafood because we knew that Cartagena beef was not good and it was a coastal town so seafood was generally pretty good.
We ended up in a place that we would've never found by ourselves. It's a small restaurant with a lot of tables but we were the only ones there. After some excellent fish filet, bananas, and fish, we were ready to head out. The original plan was to head out by ourselves tonight. Ever seemed to only know his side of town and didn't feel too comfortable downtown. I don't know if he really felt it was unsafe or because he was unfamiliar with it or he did not make commission from these places. Anyhow, he called a few places and hunted down a few girls for us. We drive deep in the hood way outside of the city center in the middle of an apartment complex. It looked like the projects. There, a fat old lady with two girls were waiting. My friend gets off to get a better look. I stay in the car. After some negociations, My friend decides that he will take one of them. But wait, mamasita has another girl! So we drive around for the next 20 mins finding this girl. We literally drive up to her house and she comes out to meet us. I'm sorry, this is just too fuckin weird for me. I declined asap. So now we drop mamasita off and we head towards our old stomping grounds.
We hit pleyclub ASAP as I didn't want to bother with the other clubs. They all sucked anyway. I go in and I see Veronica from last night. Cute girl but we didn't really click. I notice quite a few other girls there and we were one of two tables. Then the lights dim and the stripper comes out again. Yup, it was Karen again. Man oh man, she's hot. She's one of the best stripper's I've seen and only 18 so her body is fuckin tight. After she is done, dressed, and out for a rest, I immediately grab her. I already made up my mind who to take for the night. It'd be Karen. I test her to see if I could get away with taking both her and veronica for a night of lotta fun. She doesn't like girls she says. This is a bad sign for threesome so I scratch the idea and leave with my bounty. She mentions that she does know Veronica b/c they both worked in Lejano Orientes in Medellin.
We head back to the apartment for some early fun. It couldn't have been later than 10:30 or 11 and we'd have these girls all night. We pay Ever and give him the bad news: we're leaving tomorrow. We don't flat out tell him we're not coming back. He will send his coworker to drive us to the airport tomorrow. We pay him about 140k pesos and said our goodbyes.
So of course in the course of our conversation with Ever, Karen finds out we're going to Medellin next. She is bouncing off the walls and starts telling me everything about Medellin. She being from Medellin and our encounter a few nights earlier, must've thought she influenced us to go to Medellin. I show her some photos of our trip today and we talk for a bit. I really enjoy just spending time with her and talking. We get down to business and she is better this time than the first!
