I recently returned from a month of travel in beautiful Colombia (July, 2002). Starting off with a couple of weeks in Cartagena (with a quick weekend trip to Barranquilla), I jumped over to Medellin for a week and a half. This report will be divided into three parts for easy reference: Part 1 will deal with Cartagena, Part 2 with Barranquilla, and Part 3 with Medellin.
Special thanks to Hunter (Xtreme, TSM, CH) for letting me shack up at his Cartagena apartamento at a good rate. It was a pleasure to hang out with Hunter, BonVvnt, UWPhoto, Billfromreading (CH guys) and others. Also, thanks to Gator (Xtreme, TSM, CH) and others for Medellin info.
Having a month to kill for my July, 2002 vacation, I was torn between Cartagena and Medellin. Cartagena was a known quantity to me where I had contacts, I felt very comfortable, and I knew I would have a good time; kind of like an ex-girlfriend I keep going back to. Medellin represented the thrill of the unknown and had so much potential upside that I was almost obsessed at the thought of what I might experience there. It was a tough call and after flip-flopping several times, I surmised that it would be “safer” for me to hit Cartagena again because of the recent events with Uribe, FARC, etc.
However, after about 2 ½ weeks in Cartagena (and a quick weekend in Barranquilla), I became restless. I took off for Medellin for 10 days and it was a good decision. I hope this report will shed some light on this much discussed, but rarely documented (at least in terms of potential chica opportunities) city. For specific Medellin info. look for Part 3 of my report in about a week.
For those of you who have never read any of my reports- even though I fully enjoy and participate in P4P opportunities, I usually make an effort to meet non-pros as well while exploring a new place/city. Thus, I will write about both pro and non-pro interactions (most non-pro interactions happened in Medellin), along with anything else of cultural or interesting significance to me. I have taken a few pictures, however, I find the endless pursuit of pictures to be, quite frankly, a pain in the ass.
I flew into Cartagena eager to check into Hotel Las Velas and head out to La Dolce Vita to see if my “old” favorita is still around. A lot has been said about HLV and what a dump it is but for my money, it is the best value in Cartagena at 90,000 pesos a night (something like US $32). The first room they gave me had shitty aircon (a common complaint concerning this hotel), so I simply returned to the lobby, explained my concern, and they immediately moved me with no problems to another room with much better aircon.
I did check out the Charlotte Hotel again just to get prices (I stayed there for a few days last December) and they now charge 130,000 which I don’t think is worth it, personally. Add to the fact that the night manager on duty had an attitude and acted like a complete DICK when I tried to negotiate (and he wouldn’t budge- surprising considering Cartagena was empty of tourists during July), I was happy not to patronize the Charlotte. My biggest problems with the Charlotte, as I have said before, are the “looks” you get as you leave the hotel in the morning. It is such a small hotel that you and your chica are quite conspicuous walking down that stairs into the lobby. But, hey, I know many that prefer Hotel Charlotte so to each, their own.
Anyway, Cartagena has been pretty well documented and the only thing I can really add is that during this latest trip the quantity and quality of chicas were noticeably down (compared to my trips in Dec. 2001 and March 2002). I stayed a couple of days at Las Velas before switching to Hunter’s apartment after BonVvnt (CH) left.
It seemed to me that only the most hardened of chicas have stuck around and I rarely came across a chica who was new in town (which was relatively common my first couple of trips). I hit all the usual places (La Dolce Vita, La Garita, etc.) and hung out at the beach in the day. I didn’t get a sense that there were a lot of college students in town on vacation (or tourists in general) which I was hoping for non-pro opportunities. The “normal” bars such as Mr. Babillas, Barbar, and to an extent Tu Candela were pretty much all (in general) disappointments. Babillas and the bars in that area were absolutely DEAD any night besides Saturday. Tu Candela would get busy late Wed-Sat, however, my observations are that there were a mix normal couples and mediocre (at best) pros.
Though disappointed overall with the “state” of chica-ness during this third trip, I still enjoyed the ambience of the old city and hanging out at the beach, the casinos, and with a few people a have befriended there over my 3 trips. The atmosphere of Cartagena is so unique and special that I know I will be going back there regularly. And I still found a couple of chicas with whom to spend some time (more on them later).
I ran into an old “favorita” (Alexandra- former LDV girl) in Casino La Perla early in my trip with whom I had spent a good deal of time during my first two trips. Previous to me running into her, I had heard from a friend that Alexandra was now “unavailable” because she now had a “novio” in Miami who was sending her (what must be) a shit-load of money (at least for Cartagena). Because of her new-found fortune, anytime someone runs into Alexandra, she tells them that she is leaving Cartagena for her hometown of Barranquilla soon. But, interestingly enough, she never does. She seems to pass her time now by plopping herself in front of the roulette wheel at La Perla at about 10pm and playing until closing time, 4-5 times a week! We talked a couple of times at the casino and she was cordial, yet somewhat cold to me- basically making it extremely obvious that she wasn’t available any longer. How fortunes change! I just hope for her sake I don’t return to Cartagena in a year or two and she is back working at La Dolce Vita after this latest “novio” gets tired of her.
I met one chica at La Garita named Geraldine with whom I spent a few days and with whom I had a pleasant time. She has been in Cartagena for a while, however, I have never gone with her (or even met her) before this trip. She was sweet and nice and I took her out, I think, four separate times since, quite frankly, I couldn’t find anything better. Here are some pics of Geraldine:
Funny story concerning Geraldine- The second time I took her out, we were crashed in Hunter’s apartment. Well, Hunter happened to walk by my bed (he wasn’t aware I had brought a chica back the previous night) to see a topless, sleeping Geraldine sprawled out. Fast forward a couple of hours and Geraldine is gone and Hunter says he “fancies” her (to get the full affect you have to say “fancies” with a THICK English accent). So he asks me (the gentleman that he is) if he could “have a go at her sometime”. Now I think I have a very healthy, realistic take on the whole professional scene in Cartagena in that I don’t believe it is my “right” to “claim” a girl or whatever. In my opinion, this is her job and who I am to say “No, you can’t go with her. She’s mine!” Especially, if I did not have any intention of taking out Geraldine every night of my trip (I am more of an “every other day” type of guy). So I basically tell him it’s not my place to answer that question. Well, I returned from Barranquilla a few days later and Hunter tells me that the previous night he had a wonderful time with Geraldine! Shit, I didn’t think he would move that quick. So I’m like, shit, now I have to find someone else since I certainly don’t want her now after Hunter had her (I’m sort of odd that way- I would much rather go with a pro that hasn’t been with someone I know).
I then see Geraldine at LDV a couple of days later and she approaches me immediately. I inform her that I wouldn’t be going with her because of this “policy” I have. But we can still be friends and I feel bad so I buy her a drink. She starts flirting with me and getting touchy/feely. I look around for anything better or even of similar quality but there was nothing (as I said quality was way down). So I gave in and ended up with her 2 more days and Hunter got a good laugh out of the whole situation (since I had explained to him earlier that I was positively, absolutely done with her).
You have been warned. Another girl I met in La Garita was an absolute tiger in bed- I think her name was Isabell (I believe she is pretty well known commodity in Cartagena). The only thing I really have to say about her is that during my evening with her, she said that she wanted to give me a “regalo” and pointed to her very nice ass. Now, I have experienced anal sex a few times in my life and thought, “Cool, let’s go.” So she is on-top of me doing her thing and appears to be really into it (apparently she prefers this type of sex over “regular” sex). She obviously has an orgasm (or faked it real well, all the same to me) and I was a bit disappointed because I wasn’t finished. Too bad because she is finished and she tries to take me out of her without losing the condom up her nether region. Well, apparently this move loosened some things up because as I slipped out of her I was SHOCKED and HORRIFIED to see that the condom on my manhood was actually LAYERED with a thick coating of doody. And, the smell was beyond words (I am talking BAD)! When Isabella realized what had happened, she was HORRIBLY embarrassed and immediately brought me to the shower to clean me off. Although I had heard of this phenomenon happening to other guys, it had never happened to me. I was actually laughing about it to try and cheer her up about it since she was clearly humiliated.
One night I took off with a couple of friends to a Colombian discoteca out towards the mall called “Carumba”. There were some real possibilities in there for “normal” Cartagena chicas. I didn’t see any 9 or 10’s, however, there were a few 7’s and 7.5’s who did not appear to be pros. I was (and would continue to be) a little edgy about venturing out into that part of Cartagena with the increased FARC/ELN activity, however, it was nice to go to a place with different options.
