Cartagena Reports

[QUOTE=WorldTravel69;2531786]This video came out last month.

Last year at this time NOT social distancing with chicas was fun!

They are wearing masks in this one.

I got here 4 hours ago. I'm staying in old city near Clock Tower. So far not digging Cartegena. I can't walk 5 ft without being accosted by hawks. I've been all over Asia and never seen any thing close. It's extremely irritating. Also yet to see a single girl. It's early. 6 PM. But there is not a single punter at clock tower. Plus it's more expensive here than in the US. Sorry I don't see the appeal. I just left Bogota. I was in a great location between San Diego and Santa Fe. I was doing well there. Going back tomorrow unless things change drastically later. Santa Fe is almost as good as Asia hot spots Different vibe. A little more edgy. But there are some gems. I'm not getting the same experience here in Cartegena as some of the previous people have posted. Maybe after Santa Fe I was expecting too much.

[/QUOTE]LOL. That was my experience exactly. That is why one time in Cartagena was enough for me. Maybe if they had a great beach or something, but they don't even have that. You will get more for your money in Bogota or Medellin. Only drawback is Bogota is cold and does not remind you of being on vacation.

Yeah you're at the clock tower at 6:00 pm looking for punters? Guess you didn't bother reading any other posts on here..... Try going back about 10:00 p.m. plus it's a Monday....

S[/QUOTE]The only action before 10 pm (other than possibly some casas or strip joints) is on Playa Hollywood. What exactly is more expensive there than in the US? I pay $60 a night for an apartment that has a balcony over looking the ocean. I can find all varying prices of food at restaurants and if I really want save I can get groceries at Supermercado Olímpica dirt cheap. OR I can't east at an authentic Italian Trattoria ran by Italians that serves made from scratch entrees for around the price of a quarter pounder meal in the US. If I shop around and I'm not too awful picky and I consent to a condom even for a blow job than I can find a chica for around $40 which is probably not as cheap as you were paying in Bogota but for my money the quality is better in Cartagena, I realize that many guys have different taste, but there is no other place on the planet that has the concentration of hot chicas for sale in such a small area, but my point is where you going to pay $40 or even $60 in the US when its not some scabies ridden crack ho. So what exactly do you mean when you say more expensive than US?

Regarding the beaches, Cartagena does have turquoise blue beaches, only they are not those of Bocagrande, you need to take a boat or yacht and go to the Rosario Islands, check this out [URL]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v[/URL] = lV7 aiRnX9 iE.

[QUOTE=Kafka;2531877]Yeah you're at the clock tower at 6:00 pm looking for punters?[/QUOTE]OMG, that is too funny.

I would like to go to Colombia for a few weeks starting March 1 or so. I normally stay in Hiltons. Can someone summarize the current situation in terms of bringing girls into various hotels? I would like to stay somewhere nice but without hassles in bringing girls to my room. It seems the situation was hard before and worse now. What about 3 star hotels? What about apartments? Is Juan or Mery still in business? I wrote them both but neither has answered. I knew them from way back. Thanks for any help you can provide.

Which Italian restaurant?

Kafka looking for advice. I am coming for 5 nights in a few weeks Friday through Tuesday. I have a girl from last time I will check into my hotel for 2 nights but want to "play" the other 3 nights. Visiting casas, strip clubs and guess the Clock Tower late!

Should I play Friday Saturday Sunday or Sunday Monday Tuesday?

[QUOTE=Kafka;2532094]Which Italian restaurant?[/QUOTE]Di Silvio Trattoria in Getsemani. Its a little jewel if you appreciate made from scratch Italian. I have been to Italy and eaten at highly rated places and this is just as good. It is near the plaza that a lot of people hang at in front of the church: Iglesia de la Santsima Trinidad, the plaza is called Plaza de la Santsima Trinidad. It is one bloc west of this plaza. I will attach photos and directions. One photo is mine but the others are from Google maps. One image is the map, one image is the pasta dish section of their menu, one image is a Google street map image of standing at the plaza facing west and an arrow showing where the restaurant is and the other image is my last meal there.

Thanks. I know the plaza. The Russian you boat bar is near there as well. I am going to check it out
