Cartagena Reports

[QUOTE=StudBucket;2549293]Got it, thanks. Do you know if the alchohol ban means no alcohol sales at all anytime? If so, we may be postponing our trip. Darn. I wonder if the girls will start working earlier ?? My understanding the action barely got going at 9 pm or so in the city.[/QUOTE]I think it is just he public consumption that is prohibited, in Colombia often times people sit around outside the liquor / package stores drinking and congregating so I think that is what they do not want, I am sure that if nothing else you can still go into an Exito / Olimpica / Carulla and possibly liquor stores before curfew and take it to your apartment and drink, I think it mentions liquor stores is that in Colombia people tend to gather around liquor stores and drink outside and congregate.

Also it may be the case that the street walkers start spreading out to different places other than the plaza by the clock tower so that the information on their location would be of good use to know if anyone on the ground can ask around as to where they may go - there was a time they used to walk around the park across the street from the clock tower on the way to Getsemani
- Parque Del Centenario

Thanks Mojo. That wouldn't affect any of us really. So long as the bars keep serving it is good. But the 10 pm curfew is for sure a big damper.

Coming on the Apr. 13-20, but should I postpone till after the 21st? Are the beaches really open and the statement is just smoke and minor as someone suggested? Are the bars closed or just not serving alcohol? Can you still buy alcohol from liquor stores and drink it in your room? Can you drink on the beach if it's concealed and you're following the CDC guideline on preventive measures? Or is that prohibited? Our beach activities still running such as jetski, paddle boarding, and such? Are you still able to mong with these restrictions? Going with a group and so hoping to get the facts straight from someone on the ground right now.

[QUOTE=MojoBandit;2549240]Just to follow up on Kafka's earlier post and show a reference for people who want to see further validation.
[/QUOTE]Lemons. Lemonade. I can deal with missing the nightlife. I'll just entertain in my apartment. I just finished the booking for my 5 day and I have a cancellation in place if there's a need, but I'm going to deal with the restrictions. Should be less touts on the beach and in the streets?

I assume the chicas be willing to call it a night early on the weekdays and even the weekend. I enjoy hanging out in my apartment. I can pick them up for a ST and if it goes well, just let them hang around without me agreeing on anything extra. Plus, if I find a really nice one, I will repeat. I hope I can find 2 that I would want to repeat with.

Sooooo agree with this. Nightlife not needed. Bring that pussy to my Airbnb!

I message on SA, and they are at my place in no time.

Arrived in Cartagena two hours ago. Easy trip here and through immigration fast. Made it to super girl friendly Airbnb that I stayed at in February, same doorman, same tip up front. Just downstairs is Exito convenience store and packed plenty of Club Colombia's and a bottle of vodka for tonight's shenanigans in my basket, alcohol IS still for sale. Hottie coming over in two hours and another one set up three hours after that and then I'll check out Delirium Club later tonight, around 8-9 pm. My understanding is that they won't be selling alcohol at the club but the ladies will still be there sipping on whatever doesn't have alcohol, no worries because as soon as I take my pick we have a 3 minute walk back to my Airbnb with plenty to drink for the Friday night! Attached is a picture of my refrigerator with some refreshments and a pic of the girl flying in on Tuesday whom I'll spend two nights with on Isla de Tierra Bomba which is just off the coast of Cartagena. We have a bungalow reserved for two nights sitting right on the beach. So far so good! Agree with last post: Lemons to Lemonade!

Gal 1 showed up right on time. Poor thing didn't know what hit her. I had been eager for this trip for the last couple months and I took out every curfew law on her to get it out of my system! Kidding. But kind of not LOL. We had a great 2 hours, back to back sessions. What a cutie. Requested her to wear a cute skirt for me, and cute it was. Photos attached, doorman verified age and identification.

Here's the most updated curfew rules which my driver from the airport today sent me:

According to the Mayor's Office, the established norms, which will govern from April 9 to April 22, were taken according to the epidemiological behavior of the virus in the city, the occupation of the Intensive Care Units (ICU) and following the recommendations of the National Government.

Measures.

- Curfew.

Although there is currently a curfew in force in the city, with this new decree the measure will begin two hours earlier.

From Sunday to Thursday the measure will be in force from 10:00 pm To 5:00 am Each day, while from Friday to Saturday it will be from midnight (12 am) to 5:00 am Of everyday.

- Use of beaches.

In Decree 0406 the use of the beaches was limited to a single day, which will be from 8 am Until 2 pm Previously, the spas were open from 8 am At 12 pm And 2 pm At 6 pm.

Other measures.

- Prohibit the consumption of alcoholic or intoxicating beverages inside stores, refreshments, terraces, billiards, galleras, clubs and social corporations, tobacconists and / or liquor stores. The sale, distribution or sale of alcoholic beverages is not prohibited.

- Prohibit throughout Cartagena, especially in the North Zone and the Insular Zone, the realization of any type of public show and / or electronic party events and of any other type, on beaches and public spaces; Likewise, the use of Pick-up, or any other kind of sound amplification device that generates alterations to the tranquility and citizen coexistence is prohibited.

Controls.

The security agencies, District Government authorities and the National Police must carry out control operations to verify compliance with the measures. They will proceed to apply the corrective measures within their competence.

The Dau administration reminded locals and visitors not to lower their guard and maintain biosecurity measures, especially the use of a mask, avoid crowds and constant hand washing.

I would have left today to run into this whammy! Thank you for the share information.

You truly are making the most out of a bad situation, although I would have a little food in that refrigerator also LOL. If you can supply information about the situation on the ground during this curfew it would be most appreciated, there are guys with reservations and guys who are ready to pull the trigger but can't decide yet, so it would be helpful to them.

Some things to know would be: like you said.

A: Are the clubs open even thought they cannot serve alcohol?

Be: Are chicas still going to be able to gather at the clock tower at least until curfew time? (there is no specific guidance in the rules given out except it does say "the realization of any type of public spectacle. And public spaces" which the cops may use to break up any crowded place).

See: Is Rappi (or other deliveries of food and such) able to deliver after curfew hours?

The: Beaches? Seems to me that as of right now one needs to get on that app / website [URL]https://reservadeplayas.cartagena.gov.co/[/URL] and reserve a place on the beach and then will have to leave by 2 pm? If you can find this out it would be helpful. I noticed the article mentioned.

"It is noteworthy that the enabled biosecure beaches are located in the tourist sector of Bocagrande, which has 5 sections. In the sector of El Laguito, Castillogrande, and El Cabrero, each one has a section, and in Marbella there are 4 enabled sections. '.

I am wondering it the section they are calling "sector of El Laguito" is Playa Hollywood or if it is the section that faces or toward Tierra Bomba, and if they count Playa Hollywood in one of the sections of Bocagrande?

Anyway A, be, and see are probably most important I know you are having fun but any info would be appreciated by the guys who have plans.

I believe the biosecure beaches have different restrictions as far as time because Tony says everything is normal.

[QUOTE=GrownMan1;2549621]Wow I am so glad I canceled my trip. I would have left today to run into this whammy! Thank you for the share information.[/QUOTE]Why not try to just postpone the trip? My friends and I were scheduled to go at the end of this month and we are now looking at going around mid May. Its just not worth going with all these restrictions when you can just go a few weeks, or a month later.

Clubs wide open and packed with girls.

Clocktower wide open and packed with girls, more than I've seen before on two previous trips.

The ONLY place they aren't serving alcohol is at the clubs. Every other establishment is all you can drink. Sat at a table at the Clocktower Pub overlooking the square drinking cervesas for at least an hour. What a great place to pick out your favorites down on the square. Made my way down and got a few WhatsApp #'s and was struck by a delightful young lady who had curves in all the right places. Back to mi casa where many beers and other things were consumed. Danced, laughed, and played music into the night as we had our fun and I taught her how to play Uno. Ironic she didn't know LOL.

Sorry I can't report on the beaches, it's just my first day and I can only cover so much ground.

I've been to Cartagena twice before and it's as good as ever. Couldn't have asked for more fun on my first day.

Don't cancel your plans, SO glad I didn't. This isn't Medellin right now.

[QUOTE=Kafka;2549633]I believe the biosecure beaches have different restrictions as far as time because Tony says everything is normal.[/QUOTE]If normal is having to leave the beach at 2 pm, then your correct, my conversation with tony is it's not normal.

I went out beaches after 3 PM last night, Laguito beaches were closed, EL Muelle the two story bar facing Tierra Bomba was open, rounded the corner to playa Hollywood beach closed tarpas closed. Kiosko 3 had 6 or 8 decent looking working girls. People were sitting behind Kiosko 3 in chairs drinking on and there were about a dozen gringos or more in the Palms in front of Hotel Dann between Kiosko 3 and 4. I stopped and had 3 beers at Kiosko 4 as the other gringos must have already been run off by police. Talked to beach touts the say today Saturday beach open until 3 PM and Sunday all day, there is a power outage all day Sunday. Tierra bomba the beaches supposed to be open till 4 each day and Playa Blanca no time limit, had 6 different answers from 6 different people I asked so information is sketchy, I have newspaper information also but that isn't correct either. Caribe resteraunt (Paellas) across Caribe Hotel on beach was open even after police ran me off at 5 PM, Bonys closed, the licre store new one across Bonys closed at 2 PM also. Police ran gringos hiding in Palms off about 430 PM. Beach vendors are protesting 9 AM Monday and going to block traffic all way to Centro.

Mirador del Laguito, Marinare, Playa Mar chica friendly, Torres Del Lago no with undocumented Venezualans.
