Cartagena in Sept anyone.
Hello to you all,
Returning to Cartagena in Sept and would like to meet up with fellow mongers. Got quite a few girls lined up but wouldn't mind meeting anyone for a few beers.
Tom.
My maiden voyage to Cartagena
A few words about myself. I'm in my mid-50s, and I've mongered very little in the last decade, mostly in Brazil, DR and Peru. I stayed in CTG with a buddy who's not a monger, and who was actually in Cartagena for the history and the beaches. Be forewarned that I'm not capable of juicy, blow-for-blow reports that I enjoy reading from other members. My sexual preferences are simple and boring, and I don't want to invest time and money into this knowing-your-girl-better thing. I know that good things come to those who try harder, but I'm lazy and get tired easily. It's mostly plain vanilla to me. I fuck, I come, she goes. I'm not interested in cuddling and prefer sleeping alone.
So without further ado.
Writing this from Bogota. I had 5 encounters during my stay in Cartagena. All girls had 7-9 bodies. Most had small natural tits. Every single one of them made it a huge point promising a girlfriend experience. None have delivered on that front, but it was still good, no regrets. All but one insisted on a condom for BJ. Everyone tried to get it done with ASAP and switch to fucking to get it over with. All moan too much to the point that I had to tell them to stop, it doesn't help me at all.
Paula from the Clock Tower Plaza was a sweet petite girl who majors in engineering and doesn't like to wear panties under her jeans. A real sweetheart, even though it was all business, LOL. Damage was 150 K plus 20 K tip (taxi).
Bridgit, another Clock Tower pick up (who introduced herself as Maria), was a tall, thin girl with excellent ass and legs, but in a serious need of bigger tits. Giggly and flaky, but asked for money upfront, so after a short argument I put the money on the table and tell her she can get it when she's done. Now, my erection is a fragile thing, so the fucking wasn't as enjoyable as it could've been, as the chemistry was gone. Still, fucked her on the terrace, first with her against the rails then on the table. It was nice, but still too hot, even in the AM.
So after 30 minute of pounding, moved to the bedroom. Put her on her back and told her to squeeze her legs together otherwise wouldn't have cummed at all. That pattern repeated itself with most girls. Afterwards, she was in no rush to go, raided my fridge, then turned on the music and started dancing. Probably would've stayed the night, but, like I said, this isn't my MO. Sent her on her way with 200 K.
And or End (no, not making this up) was another Clock Tower recruit. This one had a nice pair of natural tits, but some minor cellulite down under. No initiative, but was complacent, although her BJ sucked and not in a good way. Still, she tried to please, no complaint there. 150 K.
Kiara from mileroticos the most business-minded girl of all of them. Also petite who promised the world, began with asking for money upfront, so I put it on the table. When we got out of the shower, she counted it and put it in her handbag. That was a real turn off, and I told her so, to which she just smiled. To be fair, she did everything I told her, and in multiple positions, but again, it was not very enjoyable. 150 K.
Karina from Mileroticos is half-Venezuelan with 5 for the face, but 9 for the body. Steamy hot, with a pair of nicely done tits, slender legs, and fantastic ass that I enjoyed pounding her from behind. Unfortunately, when I put her in missionary, got hit with a terrible pussy stink, so told her to squeeze her legs together to finish ASAP or I would've lost the erection. That's a shame, because she was the friendliest provider of them all, and I actually enjoyed talking to her. 120 K + 30 K sin condom (the add-on not worth it).
I also tried to obtain the services of Camilaa a Brazilian Lingum "therapista" highly recommended on the Mileroticos forum. She never responded to my messages, and when I called, said she didn't understand. OK, my Esponol is indeed mal, but I don't know how you "don't" understand massagen, mileroticos and Lingum. There are some serious customer service issues there, or perhaps she has enough clients not to give a shit.
Now, to compensate for these cut and dry report, here is some practical info for newbies that they might find useful. It was my maiden voyage to Cartagena, so hopefully, those who're planning their first visit will find it useful.
I stayed in the same apartment Linyjo did, Marinare 1004. For $90 a night it's worth it. It's not fancy, but has everything you need and then some.
The apartment.
Advantages:
- Liberal guest policy.
- Plenty of hot water.
- Wisper quiet air-conditioners in all rooms.
- Comfortable beds.
- 2 baths.
- Huge oceanfront balcony with a few bar tables and high chairs.
- Well-equipped: big fridge, microwave, coffee machine, toaster (no teapot).
- Washer / Dryer.
- Haven't seen a single roach.
Shortcomings:
- No blankets or hand towels.
- The filter in a coffee machine was not removed and the machine was not cleaned.
- A couple of small things, like a broken night-stand lamp and burn-out bulb.
- Pool is closed at 6 PM or sometimes earlier.
I totally agree with Linyjo that it would take a very little investment to turn it into an upscale apartment. But even as is, I wholeheartedly recommend the place. While there are plenty of upscale listings on Airbnb in this price range, there are also many reviews that state problems with guest policies, hot water, and roaches. Juan is a class act, and he fixed a few things that needed fixing. Besides, it fits my lifestyle ideally.
Centro Historico and Getsemani.
Beautiful! Loved both neighborhoods. Getsemani has more backpacker feel with lots of hostels and cheaper cafes and restaurants. Is Cartagena is a true world-class destination with the old charm. If you tend to get bored with mongering alone during your visit, this is a great place to enjoy different things.
Money.
The ATM near the building (BBBV) gives a great rate (2. 83 on 06.07) and, I believe, no commission. The problem is, it's only 300,000 limit, but it's not per day, so shouldn't be a problem. The rate in Olympico was only 1. 74 if you deduct the commission (my card reimburses for ATM fees).
I find the local money insane. They have 2 design versions for the same bills. I diligently tried to educate myself on fakes before leaving home but threw the caution out of window. It's hard enough to differentiate the money, let alone do counterfeit testings in this heat.
SIM Card.
Got one at supermercado Olympico. 55 mil for 70 minutes and 2 gigs of data. Olympico has a much better choice food-wise than Exito in Laquito. The cab was 5 mil there and 6 on the way back.
Taxis and Uber.
As it's been mentioned here, Uber and cabs charge almost the same, but the Uber's convenience is that you don't need cash. 19 mil from the airport to Laquito and 8 mil to the Centro. Contrary to my expectations, not a single cabby tried to rip us off (until I got to Bogota).
Weather.
It's a fucking sauna all the time. There is no relief even after the sun goes down. I thought Manaus was bad (and it was), but Cartagena is something else. If you are a sweating hog like me. Just be ready. Don't try to see everything in one day. It's just exhausting. The last two days were a tad better, though.
Touts.
Look, this shit is bad. Maybe I would buy more stuff if I didn't know that the moment I display the slightest interest they won't let go. It's not like all touts are like that. Most will leave you alone after one or two "no gracia" but there are enough bad actors to annoy the living hell out of you. But sometimes you see a couple going down the street and 4 or 5 touts are working them over. Jesus Christ!
On the second day we decided to take a boat to Punta Arenas. Walked out of the building, and they attach themselves to us almost immediately. We turned to the beach, 2 or 3 of them follow us. We turn right, then left, hoping to drop them, no dice. We got to the boat and started talking to the pilot. They interfere, I said stop it, I'm dealing with the boater. No way, he just looking at them and lets them negotiate. Paid 60 mil after a brief negotiation. Got to the other side, they are staying with us, walking next to us wherever we go. I feel like I'm going to blow up, but what the fuck do you do! We sat down at the table, the guy said take it for 5 mil, then the fucking leech got close and they start talking, next thing I know it's 50 mil for the fucking table and 2 chairs! Got to another area, the leech says it's free if you consume. Brings us the menu. 45 mil for the cheapest meal, 7 for Club Colombia, 4 for water. I told him, nice precio especial gringo, he just giggles, brought it down to 70 for both of us. The fish was good, though.
Beaches.
Never made it to Playa Hollywood because fuck the touts. We spent a day upstairs at LE Muelle, at the end of Laquito, and it's a good set up if you want a day on the beach in peace and quiet. I set up Tinder with a local phone number and had a lot of matches in the first few minutes but never used it. Didn't get to try Photoprepagos either. Between the Clock Tower and Mileroticos there are enough pussy to last for months.
