Cartagena Reports

[QUOTE=FunLuvr;2117358]IMO, FastAndFun's has better nipples and the boobs are more symmetrical, but I like the complexion of your lady's nipples more.[/QUOTE]I love this technical discussion! :p

It seems you don't know what is the perspective effect given by a wide-angle lens. Trust me, the tits of my girl are perfectly symmetrical. I am sorry if I could not provide a 3D hologram here (HEY Jackson!! When will you modernize this forum??)

I agree with you that I could not choose between the two. Incomparable beauties. The real problem for me (I guess for the 99.9% of us, you included) is that the probability to be in such a pleasant opportunity to choose between two such pairs is extremely low on a day of our life time. Rare events happen seldom. TWO rare events at the same time, square seldom.

Already booking my trip back for Late January or early February.

Since the flight costs the same as Florida, why would I not go back there?

Going to be in Cartagena soon. What's the best place to exchange USD to Pesos? Thanks!

[QUOTE=Benargen;2120062]Going to be in Cartagena soon. What's the best place to exchange USD to Pesos? Thanks![/QUOTE]This topic comes up often. I've always used my ATM card. I always charge it in pesos so I get the best exchange rate from my bank. I have a number of free international withdrawals so no bank fees. I've seen people change money at the airport but I have no idea how good the rates are. I found in Bogota's airport it wasn't so bad (right before customs).

Interesting considering that Mde has so many casas and more night time options.

[QUOTE=YippieKayay;2107786]Great trip! By far Cartagena is my favorite city to monger in![/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=YippieKayay;2120100]This topic comes up often.[/QUOTE]Because people does not like to make a search for appropriate keywords before asking. Easier. That's why "RTFF" is a word that is as common as "ATM" in this thread.

Juan's great, but he only has one apartment available in Marin when I'm visiting with some friends and we need 4 bedrooms in the same building. Anybody know how I can find a second apartment to rent in that building? I think it has the best visitors policy, unless there's another building you think I should consider.

Thanks as always for the great advice!

[QUOTE=YippieKayay;2113065]Like someone else said: ask the driver around 11 pm to take you to the clocktower plaza (torre reloj). Any woman standing around without a guy next to her is a prostitute. They'll cat call you if you're clearly a foreigner. There will be touts who will offer to take you to Isis a "strip joint" which is really just an expensive hooker bar. 300 k fixed cost from Isis to a love hotel with any chica you see in there. Touts may even offer to take you to La Dulce Vida. This place doesn't get busy until after 11:30 pm and it's a hooker bar. Late night option is Elektra after 2 am.

That's all you need to know about night action for a start.[/QUOTE]What's the club on the strip in front of the beach where all the hookers from all over Colombia work?

Check with your bank I got hit with advance fees as well as ATM charges. I will be looking for a card that allows international charges Thank YippieKayay for the tip. The airport in CTG was the worst exchange of the three I used in the area.

[QUOTE=Vatore007;2121233]What's the club on the strip in front of the beach where all the hookers from all over Colombia work?[/QUOTE]But it moved from Laguito a couple of years ago. Maybe somewhere else I'm not familiar with?

[QUOTE=DaveCarrera;2121490]But it moved from Laguito a couple of years ago. Maybe somewhere else I'm not familiar with?[/QUOTE]1) "LA DOLCE VITA" (please note: not "La Dulce Vida") was never in front of the beach.

2) This is not Las Vegas, there is no strip, and I cannot recall any bar full of hookers on any large street.

3) Yes LDV moved to Centro, long time ago, and even changed name along the years.

4) Plenty of details available on this Thread. Anyone interested to learn about CTG's nightlife, PLEASE just read here.

Will be in Cartagena late January and it is more convenient for me to visit a brothel rather than the night clubs since I would be able to visit only during the day.

From all the reading of the posts all the brothels are situated more inland far from the Centro / Bocagrande / Laguito area. Does anyone know of any decent brothels inside these areas?

Thanks.

Hey everyone,

Long time lurker and former regular contributing member just getting back on this board after an 11 year hiatus. Had to change names as I couldn't remember my password and quit using that old email years ago. I'm looking into the Visa Travel Money card. (google it) It's a prepaid card available through AAA. I think it is a modern day version of traveller's checks and can be used in ATMs. I'll report more when I have completed my research (and purchased a card). I'm planning a trip to Cartagena and Barranquilla in March. If anyone else will be there at that time, maybe we can have a cerveza or 5 and swap stories.

Touched-down late afternoon, checked into our apartment in Bocagrande, and went to Playa Hollywood.

Back-story: Me. Mid 30's, 3rd time to Colombia, 2nd to Cartagena, passable Spanish, decent-looking, fit, white. My buddy: turning 30 this trip, 1st time in Colombia, no Spanish, Asian descent.

We went to Bar #4, towards the end, around 430 p. Had our server grab a couple girls. We had a few beers, chatted, they wanted to come back. I was quoted 150.000, but there was a problem. My buddy's girl didn't have a cedula (she is 22, mine 23). We fretted for awhile, but decided to chance it. Guard let her in for 30.000.

I told him to offer 120.000 and see what happens, but to be prepared to pay 150.000 (he has no clue about the conversion, etc, yet). I eventually convinced both girls to agree to 140.000. Both average faces (cute, but average) and tight little bodies. He popped once and ended up paying 200.000 (beginner's luck)! I paid 140.000 for two pops. My chica was a little enamored and tried to put on a show that she wants 200.000. I held firm, she threw the money into the kitchen and left. Then, the door buzzer and knocks ensued. I ended up giving her cute little pouty ass a regalito, and she was happy as a clam. We then went to the mercado for waters, beers, food, etc. The girls tagged-along, and helped. By helped, I mean, they tried to throw items in the cart. My buddy's chica flipped a switch when he didn't give her a gift, nor pay for her groceries (I told him to bring regalitos, but being his first time, he wasn't sure if I was messing around, or not). Fast forward, my chica wants to cook us dinner. His chica is on a rampage. I explain to her that not only did he pay an extra 60.000 but he paid 30.000 for her entry. She was having none of it. Pretty comical to watch her angry in Spanish, and him playing dumb in English. I got my chica to pull her amiga out, and we are off to Centro, shortly, for dinner and exploration.

Good start to the trip! I'll update with more details on the events and chicas involved, when I can. Next stop is MDE, Jan 2-8.

Cheers.
