Current Information On What Is Open
I had originally posted this under the lists section, but in talking to a number of folks they never even scroll down that far so I am going to see if the Admin will let me post under trip reports hoping that more people read this section and will respond.
With COVID continually impacting what is open I was hoping for some up to date information since I will be in CTG Tomorrow for 4 nights. We have stayed within the Old City on our past 2 trips, but are looking to find some local venues. If anyone could provide current information on what casas, strip clubs, and massage parlors are open and any recommendations on spots not to miss it would be greatly appreciated. Also, we would love to know about any bars beyond Space, Vita and Delirium in the Old City or Getsemani with free lancers that are open or have any action at this point. Thanks.
Cartagena looks promising again.
Anybody planning a trip anywhere in the world, might find this useful: [URL]https://www.skyscanner.ie/travel-restrictions/colombia/29475425[/URL] It lists by colour code the level of restritions in most countries with "green" being the easiest to enter. To use it, you will need to change your country of origin in the drop-down menu.
A word of warning, I needed to use it to check the rules on returning from Japan. My wife is currently there visiting her family. According to this site, she will have to go into hotel quarantine on her return later this week, but looking at Irish gov sites, Japan has no restrictions for those returning to Ireland. I'd suggest that the real benefit of this site is assessing which countries are easiest to enter, and that you should rely on sites in your own countries to confirm what restrictions there are on returning home.
Anyway, I was on this forum looking at Cartagena a few weeks back, and suddenly there was a rapid spike in infections, just about the same time as it was announced that Phuket would be reopening. I booked a ticket with Qatar Airways. I'd recommend them if you can use them because their cancellation policy is they will give you a full cash refund if you cancel up to three hours before scheduled take-off. I have since cancelled. They have cancelled all flights transiting through the UK, which made my plans difficult but not impossible. However the real deal-breaker is that the Gov of Phuket are not allowing the bars to reopen. One did reopen on the first day, but it was closed the following day because of concerns over social distancing. It had about 40 customers. I have to ask, what did they expect if there was only one girly bar open. I should add that I am more barfly than beach bum. There was no way I could see myself having fun in a place that looks like Riyadh on a Friday morning during Ramadhan.
So now I am back looking at CTG again. Things are looking better in terms of infections. The active cases have decreased by 40 % in the past 4 weeks. If it carries on like this, I expect to arrive in four weeks.
Smaller groups are the key
[QUOTE=Orgasmico;2584488]I was in downtown Medellin the other day and after a fabulous session with a Venezolana, I was chilling and to my surprise I saw a group of about 20 big dudes that look like they were part of football team. They had a local tour guide showing them around. I know a lot more crews are coming to Colombia but this was the biggest group of dudes I've seen. Kinda interesting seeing dudes that big surrounded by the mostly slim and shorter Colombians who many look like they only eat 1 meal a day.
The pic captured a few of the Americans.[/QUOTE]I'm happy to see more brothers travelling and experiencing things besides what we have to accept as normal in America but I wish they would leave the whole "Squad" mentality back home. They don't need a whole team with them, just one or two friends and that's it.
When run into these type of groups in the club I usually have to make it clear to the chicas that I'm not part of that group so I don't get pulled into the stigma those guys put off.
Cartagena never disappoints!
I arrives in Cartagena Saturday. Spent the first two days in Laguito. Had an amiga come by the first night. Good as always. Centro was lit! Way more chicas than dudes LDV had hotter chicas than delirium. It varies night to night. Had a good time but didn't do a second pull. Day 2 hit Hollywood beach. Not many chicas, 2 groups of trannys. It was weird. Moved away from them down the beach and chilled. That night bar hoped centro with some America dudes I met. Pulled a smoking Venezuelan out of LDV, we had good chemistry immediately, may have helped that I was decently dressed, dunno. I'm cities like Cartagena, Medellíand, Panama etc, I try to where pants downtown at night. Anyway, I just offered 300 k, sexo con condom pero tubme chupas sin condom. She accepted. Straight GFE! A very nice experience.
Day 3 had to move to Bocagrande. I'm familiar with Laguito but not Bocagrande. Wandered around a but. Ended back on playa hollywood. This time alot of hot women. Got a number from a cute Venezuelan, buy ended up leaving with a hotter colombiana, dark skin, amazing body. Made the same offer, but by now I had bought her and her friend beers, no big.
Gie. Nice BBBJ, then she attacked my stick like she hadn't had sex in years! Lmao! Crazy! We Straight fu#the! Didn't go to centro last night. Old man had to rest! We'll see what tonight brings! Cartagena is lit!
It's cool to know people!
