This was a series of reports by me and my amigo BigBob about my second trip to Cartagena in 2001..

Cartagena Update: April 18 to May 10- Tony almost killed by TSMer; Wild Party at Las Velas and new Dolce Vita Sucks!

Arrived in Cartagena on April 16, after getting coldest A/C in Las Velas (room 1705), immediately went to the casas. First stop was Casa Rocio, none of the cuties from Xmas were there,in fact the girls were ugly. After taking inventory I left, asked the taxi driver why Rocio went downhill ? He informed me that Casa Rocio cut back on its commission to taxi drivers so the tourists were being driven elsewhere, girls income went down and they left for greener pastures (logical - domino effect). Went to the Casa Marino - what a hustle joint, everyone from doorman, girls and mamasan asking for tips. Had some nice girls but their attitude was too hardcore for my tastes. Hit La Casa de La Muneca (Doll House) and we hit paydirt- they have a nice size disco, dance floor and tons of beatiful girls- took home a blonde petite sexpot who danced on my coffe table, sucked her tits and penetrated herself with my wine bottle.

On my second day, I met up with Treeshark and Webster from Seattle - my stay was made alot more fun with these brothers. I cannot overstate how much I enjoyed their comraderie - Treeshark acquired a "wife" (again) thru a chica I had with me - told hin to ditch her for the sake of variety but he being a "Cave Rat" (as he was dubbed by his own chica) he hardly felt the need for fresh meat.

Webster, a large Nordic surfer from Seattle, was a blast - he is the only "white boy with the heart of a Latino" - he speaks Spanish, has a large collection of Colombian music, including Champeta, and dances like a buffalo in heat. He was the most generous and honorable monger brother I ever met. On the first night we got to know each other, we went on the Chiva ride, he had a large bottle of Jose Cuervo Tequila and I had an 18 yr old nympho. Since he is young. tall, blonde and handsome, my chica started to hit on him. I was getting angry at her, she was flirting and all over him. I told her she was with me and should show some respect, but being a whore what could I expect? It was Webster who advised us (Treeshark, myself & 2 chicas) he was getting off the Chiva ride. I asked why? He advised that he was being offered pussy by my chica and didn't wish to offend me- I was impressed by his sense of honor. I then told him and my chica they could go fuck with my blessings, but Webster refused. He became my best friend at that moment- we partied all the time.

A short aside - our famous beach tout Tony has become worse- either as a result of his TSM fame or increased cocaine addiction. He is now intolerable. I offered to cut his dick off with the assistance of a switchblade I carry. He robbed Webster of money when he sat on the beach, unfortunately he was drunk and none of the other 4 monger brothers were present. Our new beach guy for chicas, food & drinks is Pablo, in the kiosk in front of Las Velas (he shows you receipts and keeps honest tabs, doesn't ask for beers or tips)saw the theft and called the police. Tony and his partner who actually put his hand in Webster's tote bag, but Webster was too drunk and refused to press charges. The next day Treeshark, Steve and myself were on the beach, I explained to Webster that it wasn't a question of the amount stolen, it was about "HONOR". In Colombia, honor is very important, and if you do not stand up for yourself all of the other beach touts, whores, etc., will feel you are an easy mark, ready for the picking. The chicas with us also confirmed our statements, Webster might just as well get out the vaseline for Tony & Co. Webster understood and stayed with Pablo. Steve & I were in the Las Velas pool with chicas when we saw Tony being chased by the blonde giant Webster. Steve & I ran after them, I picked up a large rock, fearing a brawl between Americans and the beach touts who rallied to defend Tony. Tony had fallen, Webster had Tony by his torn shirt and his right fist was a large white chair, held aloft like a mighty club ready to strike down the malignant beachroach "Tony". Treeshark was jumping up and down screaming "bandido, bandido !!" Webster was shaking Tony like a rag doll demanding "Explicate, explicate !" Tony's eyeballs were popping out of his head and he was screaming he did not do it. I ran up with my large rock and poked Tony's chest telling him he robbed a monger brother and had now become piece of scum. The Police arrived in force, pushing through the large crowd which surrounded us, the girls were leaving the beach in fear of a riot and everyone now knew that Tony was dead as far as TSM was concerned. He had gained a certain degree of respect among the beach touts but now he is blackballed by them. Aside from confronting Treeshark and cursing at him, Tony avoided the monger brethern. Thank God.

Later an update on the wild pool party at Las Velas and the new Dolce Vita's drug whores and watered down liquor (I like Aldo very much and this is not a slam on him personally).

Cartagena: New Dolce Vita & Wild Party

Posted By: BigBob

First, I need to clarify we did not patronize Tony at all - anytime a monger ventured onto the beach (or anyone looking like an American) Tony would run him down and begin his pestering. It was so bad he would stand at the gate to the Las Velas pool and shout our names & offer women. He just refused to go away until Treeshark & myself held a mini-conference with all the beach touts (and some unidentified Italian who owned the kiosks) - we explained that mongers were tired of the rip-offs and haraassment by Tony. The next day Webster was robbed by Tony and an accomplice. After the brawl Tony was blackballed by the touts, but I doubt he will disappear since the beach hustle is his livelihood.

The new Dolce Vita retained its old name, it is a beautiful disco adjacent to the Caribe Casino across the street from Las Velas. Aldo manages the Casino & La Dolce Vita, one of the nicest people you'll meet in this line of work. The disco opens early but really doesn't get hot until 11:30 pm to 2:00 am (this is prime time). On my 2d night I met a lovely honey blonde with green eyes (my weakness)who stayed with me for several days. However, I was upset because after a couple of hours I was given a bar tab of 279,000 COP (close to $140 US). I could not believe it, I wasn't even buzzed, much less drunk, so I complained. I had been telling the barmaid the drinks were weak, please put vodka in mine, etc., and I bought a couple of drinks for some chicas, but not to the extent to justify 279,000 COP. In the US I would be drunk after spending $140, and I patronize some of the classiest strip clubs in Florida where liquor is costly. Aldo's drinks were 8,900 COP (and up) which is high for Colombia but I paid the tab. I feel this was not an isolated incident because Webster and Steve went into La Dolce Vita and exited with huge tab with no apparent explanation of how it occurred. Perhaps the best bet is to pay for your drinks one at a time and if watered down complain immediately. There is someone else behind Aldo who really owns the operation and he may be the one making these changes.

The girls: many were in the bathroom exchanging drugs - drug of choice is ectasy & cocaine. I verified this through visual observation and confirmation by several girls. I asked my blonde to procure a girlfriend for a business associate staying in El Almirante, he is from Paris and a professional, so I needed a nice girl. She spoke to some chicas in La Dolce Vita and next night we went to an elegant restaurant - the chica was all drugged up, she passed out on the table. I was shamed. Told my girl to find another girl for a trip to Boquilla to eat lobster with the Frenchman - this was an early afternoon date, she got another Dolce Vita girl whom I had personally met and appeared hot & sweet. When we picked her up it was apparent she was also on drugs- my friend rejected her immediately. I asked my girl (who rarely drank and hates drugs) what the hell is going on and she advised that the girls who work late tend to do alot more drugs. She expalined that drugs are actually sold in the girl's bathroom. This kind of stuff is hard to control, all Aldo can do is take down the girls' ID data, some references and a photo - hopefully this prevents the customer from being robbed, but it doesn't insure a sober chica. Let the buyer beware.

Onto more fun stories: The monger brothers decided to host a poolside party for a whole day. We spoke to the Las Velas mgmt. and got their blessings. We chipped in and purchased large bottles of rum, aguardiente, Tequila, beer, soda and champagne. Steve and I took a taxi to Olympica supermarket, got candy, chips, and other munchies. We purchased a large plastic tub and lots of ice bags. The hotel staff set up tables by the pool and put all the beer & booze on ice. We ordered large platters of diced steak & chicken, trays of empanadas stuffed with meat/chicken/cheese. We then ordered 10 chicas for 4 guys - bathing suits was mandatory - we got all sizes, some blonde, some mulatta, some latinas. My chica (green eyes) had called her friend from La Casa de Muneca (Doll House) and we did not have to pay an exit fee because during the day it is their own time. Our new beach tout, Pablo, had offered to get the chicas but it would have cost us an exit fee.

The first thing wrong: the chicas claimed that the organizer had not told them to bring bathing suits. Webster was furious because he wanted bikinis all over the pool. We had paid for several taxis so we told them to go home and get their suits- some got angry and left. The main problem is that these girls all lived in different homes and our party would be delayed. We had a monger conference and decided to buy them all new bathing suits, we gave each chica money and sent them shopping. Webster & Steve then hit the beach in search of more girls, they hustled up 3 more and one joined the party who had been standing outside of Las Velas and overheard the plans. She begged the bellboys to ask us if could join the party- being generous and noting she was tall & pretty we agreed (Treeshark fucked her and a hot blonde he photographed for hours). The girls returned, to our surprise (we thought they would take the bikini money and run) and Webster's giant boom box was blasting and the waiters took care of everyone (we tipped them well). Not one complaint from the Las Velas mgmt.- we had girls spilling out of their bikinis and lots of groping. I took one slim burnette to my room and to my amazement she had a 2 inch clitoris and a small heart shaped pussy with a bright pink color. I normally do not muff dive hookers but this one was delicious. I just had to indulge. I ate to my heart's content. I guess I lost track of the time and my steady chica begins pounding on the door. I jump out of bed and she is standing there with another girl. Noting her angry look I quickly answer that she had given me the OK to fuck another girl. She responds: "Yeah, I wanted you to have fun but not this long !" I cannot figure out the logic to this reasoning but I am humbled by her generosity.

Funny part: Treeshark, who is noted for his love of toys, had bought wigs, creams, lotions, vibrators, and bunny ears. The girls loved the toys, the guys wore blue ears and the girls pink ears - the Las Velas staff was in an uproar- the horny boy rabbits chased the pink rabbits and the rule was if the horny rabbit caught a chica then she got fucked. Do not underestimate the value of a toy- girls were willing to fuck Treeshark just for a toy he purchased in the US for $6. It was uncanny watching the girls react to the toys.

I must say that the monger brothers are a great bunch. Steve from California was in Cartagena looking for a wife and was amazed to discover the comraderie - he stated: "This is a great bunch of guys who are educated, intelligent men dedicated to the pursuit of pleasure". AMEN. Webster from Seattle is a pure party animal with a heart of gold, sold on the value of the affectionate Latin female. Treeshark is a perplexing contradiction, half stable married man (he gets a wife on every trip) and half slut. The joke was that Treeshark had to sneak out on his chica when she fell asleep at their apt. to go get another hooker to fuck over in Las Velas- new thing: "CHEATING ON YOUR WHORE".

BigBob has not done another post on this trip.. Now my post..

Treeshark continues to hunt for the perfect esposa... a bit about my last Cartagena trip

Posted By: treeshark

Just a bit about about my last trip to cartagena from April 24 to May 3..

Having been in the US for about month after the Cartagena Superbowl trip, I decide that I am in the mood to go back again. Miss those sweet Colombian chicas..
I put in my form at work and get the OK. Do some price checking on the net and find $450 round trip from Miami to cartagena direct on Avianca. And $220 round trip from Richmond to Miami on Delta.. However my partner at work is having kittens about poor old shark running off again. And I just do not have a good feeling about going, so I put off booking the trip.. he is upset because I will be gone when our yearly inventory is scheduled.. Inventory gets put off for 3 weeks so he calms down a bit but is still upset because I am going on yet another vacation.. The two of us are exact opposites.. I try to explain that since I refuse to have anything to do with American women , I need these trips to continue my hunt for the perfect wife, but the message falls on deaf ears.. I end up not saying anything at all. Why waste my time. My vacation starts at 6 Pm sunday when i get off work but it is that friday morning before I finally wake up and have that feeling that says GO TO CARTAGENA.. check the internet.. Still $450 for Avianca but now it is $650 for Delta.. I check the local airports and find a couple of trips thru Us Air for $320 or so. so I head down to the local triple A to book.
When I tell them I want to go to Colombia, the girl who booked my first trip to Colombia remembers me even though it has been over a year. guss not that many people go there.. Get a deal with Avianca with them. only $351.60 round trip. Will use them for next trip..
Instead of leaving on Monday , I decide to go on Tuesday, Will give me a chance to rest a bit and get all packed.. No way, I put off packing until Monday night and end up with no sleep as usual.. Maybe next trip, I will actually get ready early,. Fly from the local airport to Philly then off to Miami. Arive at Miami about 11:15 after leaving at 7 AM.. Get my stuff and check in at Avianca. No line at all, fastest check in with them ever. Then roam the airport and chica watch and dream of the Colombian chicas that I will soon be with.. Arrive at Cartagena at 6PM..
Now after you go thru imigration at the Cartagena airport, I find it best to change the money that i will need for my first night there. After you pass thru imigration there is a wall in front of you. to the right on that wall is a window where you exchange the money. I knew that the rate on internet was 2370 pesos per dollar. I only received 2,020 there which made me a bit upset, they usually offer a good rate, however it turned out that no one was giving a good rate on cash. The going rate was 2,020.. Even at banks the rate was between 2,040 and 2,180.. I am getting ATM card for next trip. BigBob was getting 2370 using the ATM machines.. If you do use a bank, Banco Union Colombiano seems to give the best rates, but they do $300 cash max and $500 travelers checks.
After getting ripped off at the money exchange, I hire one of the porters to help with luggage, Only costs 2,00 pesos(one dollar) and have had them get me thru customs without being checked or waiting, Not this time !!!!! I get checked and the guy is upset about my polaroid film, he did not know what it was. Other people in line explained to him that it was just film so finally i get thru customs too. Get a taxi to take me to Las velas or 8,000 pesos ($4).. (Ok just figure the exchange rate at 2,000 pesos per dollar)... I get in the cab and start sweating a bit from the heat and humidity but I am happy because I finally feel that I am home again.. At Las Velas, some of the workers remember me and I get the TSM treatment.. I leave the room and ask the front doorman about La Dolce Vita. he tells me that it is open but does not open until 7 PM.
So I wander down to the internet cafe and answer a couple of people who had e-mailed before I left asking that I found out if it is open. Stock up on some food and drink on my way back to Las Velas and see this American.. I decide that this must be BigBob.. The front doorman cofirms my guess, he also tells me mucha chicas.. yes indeed a monger brother. He looks busy so I decide to introduce my self later. That was an error. I should have hooked up with BB then. Go upstairs and shower and change and get ready for the night.. I had planned to go to Carbon de Palo and off to the strip bar/casa to see if I could find me a tall thin chica that might look like an old girlfriend. But I am not hungry so decide to check out La Dolce Vita (LDV). Takes all of about 3 minutes to get there from las Velas. I am the only customer there at 7:30.. It is really nice.. I decide that I like this new LDV Just did not realy like the old one, for some reason did not feel comfortable there. I get a pina colida, my first drink since my last vacation. cost $5 or so as I remember and it did taste good, but did not seem to have any effect on me.. After months of no alcohol, even one drink will affect me. I leave when I finish and try to decide what to do. Not hungry so forget Carbon de Palo. Why go if you do not want to eat.. So either i head on to the casas or check out downtown. I flip a coin and head downtown.. Now before I leave , I am standing in front of Las Velas and see one of the staff there tallking to real cute chica.. he comes over to talk to me and asks if I would like to meet his friend. Although she looks real nice , a little voice tells me to pass on this one.. It turns out that is the chica that BB had been with that night!!!!Walk Avenida San Martin and just do not see any chicas. big suprise for me since back in January there were chicas everywhere.I end up down by Noches Americans and remember that some of the guys from the Superbowl trip liked the place, take out fee was $25 then and $50 for chica. I decide to check it out.. I liked the place.. try to get another Pina colida but bartender did not know what i wanted so I get a Cuba libre..It cost $6. I sit at a table about half way between the bar and the entrance and just looked. I was the only customer there.. Was about 6 or 7 chicas there.. all looked nice except one who was a bit overweight.. None of them came over to me.. When I ordered a second drink, she brought it over to me and I decide that she might be fun after all. I am just sitting there trying to figure out which one I wanted. Could not make up my mind !!! Not a bad problem,, During my third drink and these had alcohol in them, a new chica that I had not seen before, comes over to me from behind me and asks to sit down. Typical latina chica with real long hair.. Sure why not ?/ She knows some english and we talk a bit.. I ask about prices. Now it is $30 take out fee and she wants $100.. Another error on my part. When she said that I should have told her to leave or I should have just left the casa.. Instead of the smart thing, I "bargain" . I tell her that the chicas from other casas only want $40 to $50 for all night and take out fee is $25... After 2 and 1/2 cuba libres at this place, I am drunk anyway, so i offer $75.. Really dumb on my part.. Better to decide what price you are willing to pay when you are sober and refuse to budge.. And if they start at $100 , tell the chica to forget it and look for another.. But I was drunk, she seemed nice, and we were getting along real well, so I figured that it was worth the extra $25-30 not to have to go somewhere else and start all over again. Well, it always seems that my first night in Cartagena does not turn out well, so why should this trip be different..
I pay and we go back to Las Velas. After the last trip, I decide that I will get a picture of every chica with clothes on just as soon as we get back to the room so I can remember them better.. I take out my polaroid to get a picture and this one jumps up on top of the table and starts to take her clothes off and is posing for me.. I take a couple of pictues and then I tell her to stop and put her clothes back on so I can take a picture of her, Am I drunk or what ??? Then I allow her to take her clothes off, she was not anything special in bed. After we finsh, we decide that we are both hungry and go out to eat, First a stop at LDV for a drink.. I wanted to see what the action was like. About 20 chicas and rather nice looking ones too.. We go down to that restaurant next to the internet cafe, but the cook has decided to get drunk and will not fix food.. He finds someone who will fix us somethng. a place heading to Las Velas that has 2 pool tables, The chica and I play pool with a broken stick until the food is ready, then back to las velas and some sleep. She wakes me up the next morning at 7AM !!!! because she wants to leave and wants $100.. I had a notebook with me that i wrote the prices down in and show that to her. I am a bit mad at this point and then I find out that she is not from Colombia but from Panama !!!!! I pay her what I had said that I would and I am quite happy to see her leave. Yes, you pay them to GO!!!!!
As usual my first night in Cartagena was less then great...
Juan Ventura had called me the night before. We had agreed to meet at Las Velas at 11 AM to look at apartments.. He shows me 2 places in this one apartment building. A one bedroom for $55 and a two bedroom for $63 a night. I pick the 2 bedroom, looks nice to me and I like have having a place bigger then a hotel room to stay at.. It is a bit before noon when I return to las Velas.. When I get on the elevator to go uptairs, guess who gets on with me?? BigBob and a real cute chica.. On the way up , he says something in spanish to me and I tell him that I do not speak spanish. I then tell him that I am a monger brother and I bet that he is BigBob.. His eyes got all big and for the only time that trip , he was speachless..
He invites me back to his room for a beer and we talk. after the second beer, i am semi-drunk and just follow him around.. He does show me his chica's breasts and offers her to me if I want her since his "esposa" is now in medellin and will be back the next day... he calls the everready bunny bcause she just keeps going and going.. I decide to pass on that but suggest that if she happens to have a friend,??? Well she does and makes a phone call.. Her friend will be most happy to meet me.. However it turns out that the friend is in Baranquilla and will have to take the bus to las velas. so we hang out at the pool and have a pleasant time until the friend arrives,.. and I meet my "esposa" for this trip..
Now BigBob is simply a great fellow.. My trip was just great becaue of him.. I just can not thank him enough for all the help that he was for me.. Bb knows a lot of people in cartagena and has some most interesting friends.. However I will not talk about the activities with BB. And yes my ribs STILL hurt from that one night that I would like to forget..
because i was spending so much time with Bb and the other monger brothers there, I ended up keeping my Las Velas room . So I had an apartment and a Las Velas room. Turned out to be real useful..
The beachroach was arrested by the police. Members of the beach mafia saw the theft and turned him in to the police, but mateo would not press charges so they had to let him go. Beachroach has also stolen money from me too.. So if you are one of those people who think that beachroach is such a fine person, then you are hanging with someone who has stolen from two of your monger brothers.. That says something about the beachroach and if you think about it, it also says something about you too. I like to be with a monger brother who will guard my back, not stick a knife in it.. Best advice is to avoid the beachroach like so many people do.
Pablo is a member of the beach mafia who i am willing to use. He will take care of you and seems to be a decent person. But I guess time will tell..
I had given up on buying emeralds in cartagena but have found a place that I do trust.. It is called "Esmeralpe". It is in the old city.
If you are at Plaza Santo Domingo follow carrara 3 that is the one that carbon de palo is on. you will see a speedo place on a corner on the right side, Esmeralpe in on the left just a little bit farther on. You will not get a $1,000 emerald here for $100, but they will not sell you a $100 emerald for $1,000 either.
I am starting to enjoy staying at Las Velas. yes, there is a lot of things here that could be better, but the staff will make up for a lot.. At this point, it seems like they all know me and I can do whatever I want.. And it has a real nice pool..
I like the new LDV. I feel right at home there.. Mixed drinks could use a bit more alcohol, but there is always beer or bring a little bottle of your own and make a stronger drink.
I am looking forward to my next trip to Cartagena. It always seems like there is something new to discover and new friends to make..
Remember how BB told about the chica that attended our pool party that was just walking by on the street.. I did get her phone number.I asked Juan ventura if hwe would do me a favor and get hold of her for me. after 3 weeks he finally managed to talk to her. I have a date for my first night in Cartagena and perhaps this time my first night will be special..

treeshark

Great post!

I wish I had read BB's report earlier. Amandine78, GeneBoy & I had a long evening of drinks at La Dulce Vita with Webster/Mateo last trip.

I need to send him an email before I leave Monday.

Great report Treeshark. Wish I could have joined you but had to reschedule for early Jan.

Where does Daryl dance?

If you can make it back down Jan 5th-13th come join our party on Fri 11th.

No idea where Daryl might dance if she does now.. She never said anything about it to me.. The other esposas were the ones who called her a stripper..
She told me a bit of her life as a working chica at first when I was still just a client.. When I became her popi all of that talk stopped..
There are only two strip places in Cartagena that I know of so if she still dances, it would be one of those two,, I have never seen the chicas dance at Noches Americana but have only been there twice and think that I just missed the shows.. Have seen them dance at Casa Marino and whew boy.. Have wanted to go back there just to watch the chicas dance.. I remember one chica who had on a cowgirl outfit, when she finished her dance, she just had on boots and the hat..
Wish could be there for your party but looks like it will be Jan 28th before I can return..

Blonde sexpot at Muneca? May I ask which blonde (name). I connected with Maribel but missed out on another named Leana.

Sorry Yoosin but I do not remember whatever fake name she was using that day.. Was about 5 two and had a 6 month baby at that time so rather large breasts.. Was Ok in the room but I really enjoyed taking pictures of her.. She looked much better in the pictures then in person.. When I get my new computer will see if i can not send you a picture of her.. actually I wanted about six of them that day..
will be in Cartagena in a month and will try to talk my buddy BigBob into going to Muneca and Marino one night with me.. He is there now until
Feb.. I have a grand time with him but only one problem. I am a cheap drunk and he thinks that I am more fun when I am drunk. Last time he almost got me killed and/or crippled for life.. At least it is not boring when we get together..

Fello TSM Brothers...

I enjoy reading your reports greatly. Should you ever need advice on Buenos Aiores, let me know. Indeed you will find Latinas that look European with blond hair and green eyes with the passion that only a latina can give..I'm planning my very first trip to Columbia. I trust that Cartagena is the spot to be..or is it Cali??? Anyway, I plan on going Mid February...I am fluent in Spanish and I am on the younger side of the Monger Brothers....27...any help/advise on Columbia would be appreciated..I guess the Cahrleston hotle is the best pick so far...

Cartagena, hands down. I just spent another week in Cartagena AND a week in Cali.

Cali is great, and if I didn't know about Cartagena I'd be in love with the place.

That said, I'm going back to Cartagena in Late Jan, or early Feb.

Thanks Bonvvnt..I guess Cartagena it is, and hopefully I can get to Cali..I already read another posting on a great hotel in Cali. However, I guess Las Velas is the place when staying in Cartagena. It looks like we'll be there around the same time..let me know if we can meet there. What dates are you going? I wish Treeshark and BB would join us as well, I will definitely be having a pool party with 50 chicas if possible..I party "Celebrity" style..(~wink) and I wil bring the "cheap toys" the chicas seem to go so crazy over too...!!

Ok, I will be in Cartagena from Jan 29 to Feb 8th. BB is there now and is planning to leave on Feb7th.. My dates are written in stone and can not be changed....
