Ok - I am terrible at rembering names, you will have to be understanding. Also I don't do the photo thing to often. This is the first time I have ever posted more than a general comment, but its cloudy, so here go nothing.

Got to my apartment about 9:45 and got a few things together and header to MC. I tend to like MC because the facilities really are the nicest (IMO). I alway figure if I am paying the entrance fee might as well enjoy the other facilities, too. If the woman are to my liking I will often spend a lot of time there. However, this night I was quite disappointed. My favorita there had told me she would be on vacation in May, but was hoping maybe her plans had changed. It seems that all the girls I have enjoyed there in the past are gone and the ones I don't like are still there. That and I was not too impressed with the new talent. I really prefer baixa to alto so I went with this tiny girl with braces. The braces turn my off but I was tired and just wanted to do the deed. All in all it took care of things but nothing to write about.

Next day it was off to good old Lúomo. This always seems a good place to be on the weekends. Started out with this very tight small black girl (agian name lost in translation). The very pert brazillian bunda, but not too big. Rock solid throughout. Quite a fun romp and worth the price of admision but nothing I would go back to. I will point out that I saw something Saturday I never thought possible. - A guy who could not get laid in a Terma. This guy was so loaded none of the woman would let him get too close. I figure to each there own, but a Terma seems an odd place to put on that kind of buzz.

After a relax in the steam it was back to the boate. Next hooked up with this redhead (not real). Not the greatest looker in the world but something about her realy caught my fancy. Glad it did because she was definately a 3* plus experience. around the world and obviously a student of the fine arts.

Ended up at Lúomo the next day. I seem to recall reading good things about Suzy here. I have gone there in the past and was not very impressed. But I figured what the hell maybe it was a bad day and gave it another shot. Still not impressed. I would recomend the little stripper that starts off in the cut-off blue jeans. Not going to go into details, but just watch the way she moves those hips when she dances - and you do the math.

So

you missed the best part of luoma.....jacqueline....the best massage i have ever had anywhere in the world...worth every penny.

i actually went to luomo's 4 times my last trip, just for the massage.....ok...maybe a few other things.

this is a NORMAL massage, no extras (you would not want them anyway, she is not the cutest), but what a massage.

i met don's nephew and one of his friends at luomos....what a life.. i need to quit having so much fun at work and take some time off to re-visit.

I'm headed back down next week, and am wondering about your comparative view of the quality of looks and services between L'uomo and MC, since they're both around the corner from the Mariott.

I think I am going to head back to MC tonight to see how things have shaped up. But my curent recomendation between the two is Lúomo without a doubt. But Solarium is only a $R10 to R$15 taxi from the Marriot so no reason to just stick with MC or Lúomo

If you are going to Solarium, you can sometimes negotiate the taxi ride for free since they receive a commission......

Also keep in mind that you'll walk by the Siqueira Campos metro station as you walk to L'uomo, so you can hop on the metro and be at 4X4, 65, and all the Centro termas large and small in a few minutes.

If you take a taxi to Solarium you should NEVER pay for a taxi. Same for Monte Carlo actually. Tell the taxi driver before hand and they will agree. They go in and collect R$20 per person so they hardly deserve the taxi fare too.

Many thanks for the suggestions. Solarium is definitely part of the itinerary for this trip. Had a great time at L'uomo in March and will no doubt make it back to see a couple that I didn't get around sampling last time.

I prefer Luomo over MC. Had good experiences in both though. I like the Centro ones too 4X4 is a great value before 5PM and not too crowded.

do i have to pick only one.....i like luomo because of the massage, i like 4x4 for the variety and love solarium (had the best session/sessions)

sog is correct, never pay for the taxi.

call max(coacabana express) cell:9175-5115, he picked me up at the marriot, no charge to any terma or strip club.
