Brazil - One man's winter tour

[Guest Jake]

A tale of three Bruno's, two cities, one World's Cup and a dozen or so other meaningful - and not so meaningful - relationships.

 

First let's get the context. Although I had been to Brazil before, in the past year I've started going every three months or so with a fair business excuse to do so. I'm a very oral top (bi, but less so with every passing year - and trip to Brazil), in shape and well endowed (so you're going to get particulars in real dimensions, not escort inches). I'm working at Portugese and have made friends with a variety of English-speaking Portugese friends and Portugese-speaking American friends.

 

I arrive first in Sao Paulo on June 28th, staying in a first class hotel where I have a favorable business rate ($100 US with breakfast). My first call was to "Personal trainer Bruno" referenced in an earlier Trilingual thread and where I also left some comments.

As noted there, he is attractive but more 35 than 25, great slim and muscular body but more 7 1/2" than 9 and, while very willing, more efficient than spontaneous. I topped him while he got off. OK but I wouldn't hire again (and if you do, just take extra precautions with your valuables).

 

The weather was maybe 70 and clear during most of this first week in SP, dropping to 60-or-so at night.

 

That afternoon I went to my - and most people's - favorite sauna, Lagoa, first looking for my favorites as I always do. In this case that includes Claudio (say Clawgio) a classically handsome smooth Brazillian, maybe 25, well-built 6' 190, dark hair and eyes, small nipples (especially for a Brazillian and big nipples are one of my "things" on men) and a strong 8 1/2 X 6" tool. Claudio is an excellent interactive and versatile partner who bottoms like a champ.

 

Let me interject here that I find the majority of men working in the saunas will bottom even when then don't admit it outside the cabines.

 

Claudio wasn't there and I wasn't to catch up with him the first week.

But Marco was. Marco is a slightly edgy "street punk" looking guy with very short black hair, big tattoos on his back and the backs of his calves, mostly smooth upper with great soccer (futbol) ass and thighs and a very suckable 8 x 6 1/2" cock. Marco IS strictly a top but doesn't mind you playing with his ass. He is also one of the true exceptions I pay extra to cum -$R100, about $37 - IF it is earlier in his "shift". The great majority cum, and I always assume they are going to, for the standard $R50 (for $Reals say Hay-I's). More on this topic and its exceptions later.

 

As I have mentioned elsewhere, my own personal pay standard is $R50 for an ordinary encounter plus a $R10 tip if it is extra good and $R20 if it is outstanding. I know for fact that some (most?) of my Brazilian friends pay as little as $R30, but don't necessarily expect an orgasm. There has been some discussion in this forum on this subject and I can assure you the guys are generally VERY happy to get $R50 and usually there is no mention of it beforehand.

 

Well, it's getting too late so I will resume tomorrow.....

 

To be continued....

Jake, I am anxious to read more. ...quite, quite interesting and helpful in my preparation for my trip later this year.

[Guest Jake]

O.K., here's chapter two but fair warning that this is an installment excercise as there's so much to tell (and so little time).

So here I am in Termas Lagoa having had my first encounter of the trip with Marco, and not finding my other favorites which also include Rogeiro - called Rog - an outstanding bottom who LOVES to service, is a great, friendly and handsome guy who speaks excellent english as a result of living in southern California for a couple of years as a kid. Rog has sandy, crew cut hair and blue eyes (a little germanic looking), a couple of tattoos, well built with a strong 7 incher. He is from Rio but now spends the "off" non-tourist season in Sao Paulo. Will be there through September then taking October off to visit his mother before returning to Rio where he works at Estacao. Rog is a great guy to take a spin with - and to befriend, buying a sandwich or drink and chatting. He knows his way around and, in fact introduced me to THE TWINS in Rio (much more on that later). I did catch up with Rog on my return trip to SP after Rio.

 

Also not to be found was Reinaldo (say Haynaldo) who is not unlike Marco, a strict top with a big thick piece - 8 x 6 1/2 - but not quite as edgy. Brown crewcut, smooth upper, hairy lower about 5'10"

165, usually wears a cord necklace with a small pendant on it.

 

By-the-by, unless I say otherwise all are uncut and the fee without tip is $R50.

 

This was a Friday night and the place was pretty active with both "boys" - and I am still a little uncomfortable using that term as it feels a little demeaning to me - and clients, maybe 50 or 60 of each. A beautiful young man walked in about this time - 20 years old, classically Brazilian handsome, 6' tall, 180 boy muscular with about a 44" chest and 29" waist who seemed a little standoffish but who really attracted me. His sauna name turned out to be Fernando and he turned out to be just shy, having only done the sauna gig for two weeks and only planning to do it for two months to buy a better car.

 

At this juncture I will tell you that the great majority use their own names and are "programma boys" as a lifestyle and there are occasionally boys who do programmas for a short while for specific objectives.

 

I say this to set the stage for the suggestion that it is sometimes easy to "fall in love" in Brazil and Fernando was to be the newest heartthrob. That first night was just a wonderful interactive experience, the second night when we saw each other it was magic and I ended up with a double cabine charge for the extended time we spent just making out. From that point, all my dynamics in SP changed and though I certainly have a lot more to say about SP saunas, including Fragata and Alterossas, and some hot sexual experiences, romantic dinners, evenings and nighttimes became more the norm.

 

To be continued.....

[Guest Jake]

Sorry guys - My internet connection took a dive on Monday with the WorldCom/MCI debacle and I just got a new connection. It's too late to resume the serial tonight but definitely will tomorrow.

[Guest Jake]

So there I was - still in Sao Paulo - and in love for the second time in the last year in Brazil. But that doesn't mean I still didn't wan't to sample the full variety of Brazilian manhood. Not wanting to bump into Fernando (at least vertically and outside of my hotel), I started somewhat avoiding Lagoa.

 

This took me back to Fragata which I had tried one Sunday night on a previous visit without much success. While it might be in a better section of town, it's getting a little tired around the edges and the quality and quantity just isn't up to that of Lagoa. BUT, there were two experiences this time, one OK and one outstanding (and a new addition to the favorites list). The first was a very handsome black guy with a great, slightly hairy body. His name was something like Joamar, strictly a top, and a boxer by profession. Maybe 25,6', 200lbs

and nice to play with but with a surprisingly small dick - maybe 5 plus - considering the rest of the package.

 

And then there was Walder (say Valger) a short-haired, smooth-bodied blonde guy, 5' 10", 185lbs, tattoo on one shoulder and rather germanic looking although he says Spanish and Italian (northern, maybe?). Anyway, well built with just a very slight huskiness and a VERY husky dick, probably 8"x6 1/2". Very versatile, affectionate and bottoms like a champ. So far the only reason for me to go back to Fragata - which I did several times.

 

On a slightly different note, one of my new english-speaking Brazilian friends took me out to the big downtown gay club area. Sorry, I didn't make notes on the exact location but it was nearby the big plaza Se' metro station. Club after club, crowded sidewalks and street hustlers abound. Many shows - and Brazilians LOVE their drag queens. My friend was assuring me that I could have virually anyone in these clubs for a very modest fee. I'm not much of a club goer and even after a number of trips to Brazil I took what he said with a grain of salt. And then we went to another club, further away, that was having a "Mr. Copa" contest (and, yes, this was still Sao Paulo). The place was packed with people dancing and four very hot go-go boys were dancing on elevated pedestals. One in particular caught my eye and we maneuvered over near him where periodically people were groping and fondling him. I didn't participate but just made eye contact a few times and then, when the opportunity presented itself, ran one finger lightly down his front from chest to belly button and smiled at him. A short while later, the go-go boys were on stage and they were each handing out one free admission ticket to another event. He went to some trouble to reach way over the front couple of rows, avoid the reaching hands, and give his ticket to me. almost certainly the only American (non-Brazilian?) in the place. Then they had the contest with ten other guys who all did turns and stripped. We had sort of picked the top two and sure enough they won (a couple of pretty nice bikes) AND WE PICKED UP ONE OF THEM afterwards, put his new bike in the trunk of the cab and off we went.

ABSOLUTELY FUCKING AMAZING, even for someone with a little experience in Brazil.

 

Past my bedtime guys - another chapter tomorrow and I promise to finish with a lot more this weekend.

[Guest Jake]

So here I was, about 2:30 or so on a Sunday morning in a taxi with a Brazilian friend and this hot guy by the name of Alex who had just won this "Mr. Copa" contest at a club - and his new bicycle prize in the trunk. Obviously, I wasn't going to get him and his bicycle into my hotel at that hour and it was too far past my bedtime to take him to a sex motel. I settled for his name and number, got out at my hotel, and sent him on his way with my friend - to a sex motel it turns out. The next afternoon I caught up with him and he came to my hotel.

 

I'll mention here that this is a four star hotel - The Crowne Plaza -

and, while they certainly always announced my guests, there was never a question or a problem, even when new love Fernando came for overnights (although at breakfast - say "cafe a manha" - which was included in my rate, they quietly brought me a check for my guest). In fact they never checked nor picked up anyone's identification.

 

Anyway, back to the main point of interest, Alex. Sandy colored curly hair, 22 years old, 5'10", smooth and slim/muscular with a nice 8"x average dick, very handsome and works as a gogo dancer and stripper. It's amazing how many of the hot ones do. Affectionate, interactive and versatile, he wanted to charge me $R200 but settled for $R100. My brazilian friend paid $R50. Once again, though, the conclusion that I usually come to - the chances of an outstanding encounter are definitely higher in the saunas, and for less money. (There are several notable exceptions: Ernani, Leo and - maybe- Bruno Gaucho in Rio. But more on that later.)

 

My last several days on my first round in Sao Paulo were filled, sexually anyway, with late afternoons with Walder at Fragata, Marco plus a couple other big-dicked forgetables at Lagoa. Evenings and nighttimes were with Fernando.

 

On July 4th I flew to Rio in anticipation of seeing some old friends and sexual favorites, hooking up with Bruno Gaucho and, hopefully some new favorites and meeting CTDick who was arriving a couple of days later. (We had met on this site, then face-to-face when I was in New York, for the purpose of partnering in Rio as I had done in Sao Paulo with SFTraveler on a previous visit. This really adds something to the fun - especially off-sauna-hours and when you want to do SOMETHING besides fucking your brains out 24/7. Especially, also when you get the fun of helping to introduce "newbees" to the joys of Brazil - AND they are somewhat fluent in spanish and can help with communications.

 

Enough for tonight. Tomorrow I have a LOT more to tell, including one man's experience with Bruno Gaucho plus THE TWINS complete with mind-blowing pictures if I can get the attachment to transfer. Till then.

[Guest Jake]

First, let me go back to my third day in Sao Paulo and an experience I would be remiss in not relaying. It was Sunday, the morning Brazil won the World's Cup, which is played every four years. Most of you know that it is about soccer - the real "futbol" to most of the world - and Brazil is arguably the most fanatical and accomplished country in the sport. You could literally take our enthusiasm for the NFL and the Super Bowl and multiply it by four to get an idea. Immediately following the game I went up the block to Paulista, one of many main roads leading to "Centro" - the middle of town in this city of 17 million. The road and sidewalks were jammed with people, motorcycles, cars, trucks, bicycles - all full. And these tens and tens of thousands of people were all moving toward Centro - Or, rather, they were singing and dancing and tooting and hollering and flag waving their way toward it. And when they finally had passed several hours later, you wouldn't have known they were there. I don't know how Centro looked after what was, at all odds, the biggest party the world has ever seen - three-to-four million people - but where I was there was no litter, no destruction, no nothing. A truly amazing celebration by an amazing people. It was a joy to experience.

(My Carioca friends -residents, by the way, of Rio as opposed to Paulistas from S.P. - then told me that World Cup Sunday had coincided with Gay Pride day in Rio and the two wild celebrations melded without a hitch. Only in Brazil, my friends, only in Brazil!)

 

Now, on to Rio.

 

Upon arrival I checked into the Hotel Astoria Copacabana (THE apartment not being available this time) which has been mentioned in this forum before by Tri and others. While I had booked a deluxe single, they didn't have one ready yet that morning and offered me one of the two room suites with rooftop hot tub and sauna at the very special rate of $67 US. While it was ok and an interesting idea, it was a little tired around the edges so the following day I opted for one of the very sharp and modern, though small, singles. The hotel was quite nice and services excellent, but - even before an incident I'll relate later - I did feel a little observed and restricted in the tight walk through lobby and probably wouldn't stay there again in spite of its convenience.

 

I immediately called Bruno Gaucho on the two telephone numbers he had given me and left messages. It turned out he was out of town and I did not catch up with him until the following Wednesday, the night before I returned to Sao Paulo. I want to say that I was surprised, and I don't necessarily mean in a bad way. I was expecting a stud and instead found him to be adorable, a little smaller in stature than expected (I hadn't done conversions on his published stats), quite cute and an engaging personality, and the dick is indeed a very healthy 8xmaybe6 hanging on a very fair and smooth muscular body. As I might have guessed, he also is a go go dancer and stripper at four different clubs. By this, I don't want to imply any hard edges as he was charming, absolutely affectionate and very hot to play with. I was a little let down on two fronts - after meeting him I wanted to fuck his brains out and, while he was very willing, he couldn't handle my thickness (but promised to try even harder in our next meeting), That being the case, my second greatest pleasure would have been to suck each other off. However, he said he stlll had another job to do, this being about 9:00, so couldn't cum. Will I give it another shot on my next visit? Absolutely! Our first round just didn't quite meet my expectations.

 

Although I promised to finish this novella by tonight, I'm having some difficulties with some attachments and am going to continue tomorrow night.

[Guest Jake]

But Bruno Gaucho was the last night, let me go back to the first night...

 

I had arranged to meet "The Twins" at Estacao. To put them into complete perspective, I submitted a regular review on them last night with a picture attachment I couldn't figure out how to get into this forum as they have no website or pictures online. Hopefully, that will post in the next couple of days and it tells the full story. Don't miss it as these guys, Rodney (say "Hodgeny") and Rodrigo (say "Hodgrigo") are truly extraordinary. My first impression was of a little sterness that immediately evaporated with these totally hunky, charming, interested and affectionate hunks. A brief synopsis is that they are about 5'10", 180, brown wavey hair and eyes, smooth bodied with yummy nipples and asses, hung 8-plus. Absolutely identical except Rodney has tattoos on his shoulders and is strictly a top, Rodrigo is versatile. And, amazingly, both have identical curves in their dicks - only one curves right, the other left! Though they do not play with each other, they are amazing together in totally spontaneous, oral affection and all manner of variations within their proclivities. Although a total top, I even bottomed - for the third time in my life - in the middle of one of our nightly sessions. Yes, nightly, no matter what or who else I was doing or where else I might be going, I just had to take advantage of this experience while I had the opportunity. I left Rio feeling as though they are close friends and I really care about them (but not in the same way as Fernando!) As mentioned in the review, they were delighted to get $R60 each (including a $R10 tip) - a total for the two of about $40 US.

 

My other favorites at Estacao, as mentioned in another thread, include Kevin, the All-Ameican-looking high school quarterback you always wish you had. Square of jaw, wavey sandy brown hair, hung maybe 7", versatile, charming in a hustlerish sort of way and usually a lot of fun but try to get him before it gets too late as, unlike most, he parties a bit and he can start getting a little carried away. He's completely affectionate and interactive.

 

Then there's Forest, a black guy about 5'10, maybe 165, compact and smooth slim/muscular with what I describe as sort of a bullet head - and a nuclear dick, probably a true 9" x 7", beautifully shaped and great to play with. Strictly a top.

 

One of my most favorite pure bottoms is Eric. He's adorable - yes, another one of those, like Bruno Gaucho - smooth and muscular, dark haired with a handsome cuteness about him on a compact maybe 5'8" body with a few tattoos, most notably some oriental characters down the left side of his abdomen and a beautiful close-to-8" piece hanging between his legs. Did I mention a fabulous melon ass and I DID fuck his brains out?

 

It's probably also worth saying, in a further difficult attempt to impart the dramatic, intrinsic differences in sexual attitudes that you can't quite grasp until you've experienced Brazil for awhile, that every single guy I'm mentioning on this entire thread is fundamentally STRAIGHT, with girlfriends, wives, babies, the whole package. Eric is the only fully gay one (although I don't know Bruno Gaucho well enough yet to comment on him).

 

I am breaking my promise to get this wrapped up. I've just got too much to tell yet and it's getting late, so I'm going to leave the Rio sexual adventures at Estacao for the evening.

 

So long until tomorrow.

 

Before I say

[Guest Jake]

Two days after I got to Rio, CTDick arrived with his Brazil innocence - no matter how much you read about it, you just can't get it until you do it - and his great linguistic skills. It was a really fun five days before I went back to Sao Paulo and he hooked up with his scheduled tour. I was able to introduce him to Copacabana, the saunas and my favorites, with which - after intensive personal research - he seemed to agree (but I'll let him tell his own stories as he certainly did some amount of original research as well). So as not to be branded complete sexual tourists, and because we truthfully do enjoy a FEW other interests, we did some neat Brazilian things such as a day trip to Pedropolis - the town and summer palace of the last Brazilian emperor up in the mountains nearby Rio. It was Gray Line, very well done, being picked up at the hotel about 10 AM and deposited back at 6:30. I highly recommend it - for the scenery, the beautiful and interesting palace and, maybe most of all, for the perspective it gives you on the brazilian people and their history.

Earlier, on Sunday, we had also gone to the "Hippie Market" at Ipanema, a weekly event that's a sort of flea market with a very interesting mix of art, accomplished crafts, good looking and well made apparel items (I bought several very stylish belts and a rather sophisticated hand painted and high quality T-shirt, all for about $35) and interesting people.

 

As an aside, afterwards we were meeting my good friend Ernani for a late lunch. (And, by the way guys, I HAVE taken both the "insiders" tour and the sexual tour of Rio with Ernani on previous visits. I highly recommend them - and him - to you as a tour guide, an exceptional sexual experience, a contact for the fabulous mulatto Leo

and as a friend. He's real, and the real article.) Anyway, here are Dick and I sitting at an outside table of a cafe in Ipanema waiting for Ernani in the early afternoon and he puts my on a "stud alert" for a sensational looking guy in a Speedo with a BIG basket coming past from my back. He passes us, just glancing back as I look up at him and, without looking at us again stops up against the building just past the cafe, opens up his cel phone, talks for a while, fiddles just a little too much and I say to Dick that I think he might be doable. Sure enough, he glances our way, still on the phone, and I just casually lift my thumb alongside my face, he smiles and walks right over. Only in Brazil, my friends. Unfortunately, we had plans and it would have been too complicated, so we bought him a sandwich and went on our way. With all the beautiful men so readily available, you can get a little blase'.

 

Let's see, we've covered Estacao pretty well, and as I mentioned in another thread, the only real reason I go to Roger's any more is to see Yan who is now about 24, looks younger, 5'11", slender, smooth and with wide shoulders counterbalanced by a fairly thick 9" cock in the front and a great fuckable ass in the back. Sensational. Nice guy, very affectionate and multi-orgasmic. I've taken him home very safely on previous visits by-the-by. And, by-the-by, he's married with child and wife is completely tuned in and OK with the whole deal!

 

Well, here I am, past midnight (EST, I'm not sure where the posting times come from) and I've got to be up early as I'm going to New York for a few days on honest-to-god business. I will let you know also about any interesting monkey business I just might stumble into, but it means I'm breaking my word on getting this opus wrapped up. I'll be back on line next Tuesday with many more experiences - and reccomendations - from Rio, Club 117 and my return trip to Sao Paulo.

 

Until then.

[Guest Jake]

Guys, I'm sorry as hell I've been so remiss in finishing the story of my magical mystery tour, but between horrendous connection problems and some other necessary travel I just have not been able to get it done yet - and I'm working all weekend but will try to get at least another installment in AND GET MY FUCKING CONNECTION STRAIGHTENED OUT (and, for a change, I'm talking about email). Speaking of which, I put in the review of the Rio twins over a week ago but don't know if it went through, or if Hoo didn't go with it because he couldn't get through to me or ??? I'm sure it'll all work out soon.

[sf traveler]

Jake, I'm on the edge of my seat waiting for the grand finale. All this excitement is getting me steamed up for our possible October visit to Rio and SP. And since my emails to your old personal email account have been bouncing back, please send me a private email so we can get in contact. SF Traveler

[sf traveler]

Jake, what happened? I'm on the edge of my seat waiting for the "climax" to this particular tale of two cities. Please please finish this off, and let us know when you're going back to Brazil since I'd like to go in October and you were such a fine companion last time. SF Traveler

[IamI2002]

Girl, show some composure! Did we raise you to be an anxious little strumpet out of control for flea-bag hustling joints? The man will finish when he can finish.

 

And wipe that drool from your chin!! NOW !!!

[Guest Jake]

I apologize for not finishing yet, I've had my roller skates on business-wise and have been out of town a lot, just back from Las Vegas and Phoenix as a matter of fact, and hope to finish up this weekend. My e connection continues to be screwed with everything apparently jamming up in the server of my new provider and I'm also hoping to fix that in the next couple of days. Yes, I'm planning a trip for both SP and Rio for October - no dates yet.

[Guest Jake]

O.K., here we go with sincere apologies for all the delays mostly caused by lots of travels (sans laptop) and for the fact that my email continues to be totally screwed up which apparently is the reason my review of the twins, with pictures graciously scanned for me by CTDick (and now available on the BrazilNut thread through his efforts) never got published as Hoo can't do his e confirm with me at this point. It's been a mess!

 

I'm bouncing around a little here on timeline as I have been covering more by establishment, but now about my adventures surrounding Club 117 - and it is an easy Metro ride from Copacabana, so don't be afraid of it. I've seen all the buzz on Anderson but, to my knowledge, I've never met him. I'll make a point of it on my next trip and take him out for a test drive. My reigning favorite, however, is Bruno (NOT Gaucho!) a fun-crazy, edgy and multi-orgasmic guy with very short black hair, smooth torso and furry (great) legs and ass and a beautiful big thick slab of meat hanging in between - a true 8 1/2-9"x7". He's 20, about 5'10", 165, nice looking but not classically handsome, very straight but very affectionate and OK with playing with his ass but not getting fucked (damn!). He does, however, bring out the oral in me and he always cums at least twice and sometimes three times - IN A ROW, NONSTOP, and I don't mean a dribble! Yes, for $R50 and I give him a $R10 or $R20 tip.

 

I've wanted to tag-team a hot young chick with him - sorry, guys, but it's still one of my favorite things although not top-of-the-list anymore - just to see him in action as he is sooo intense. For you power bottoms out there, THIS IS THE ONE, I'm sure, if you like younger guys. Anyway, he knows this and is very up for it, so this trip he tells me about the lovely Linda who is not too far away, so a new Brazilian adventure begins.

 

Off we go, together with his buddy, Marcos, who I will touch on later, to Mimosa, the common man's red light district in Rio. Let me tell you that it's right out of Fellini's best, most bizarre scene. It's a street about three blocks long with house-type structures lining both sides that are combination sort of open air clubs/whorehouses. The streets are lined with food vendors, the stairs, balconies and entrances are crowded with the damndest assortment of mostly butt-ugly women you've ever seen (remembering that the good looking ones are all working for agencies for less than the $R50 we think is so cheap for the guys), and the "good" girls or girlfriends, I should say, are mostly all in the latina madonna mode saving themselves for marriage. That leaves all the horny young men of Rio without a lot of money to spend, cramming this street in search of some kind of sexual encounter. These women would take the rest of the bi out of my sexual in a heartbeat - and the lovely Linda, when we locate her, ain't much better. In fact it sort of underscored the young Brazilian stud dilemma. Here's Bruno who's a grade A young fucker who thinks this chick is something special. Maybe on this street, but nowhere else you or I go! So I tell him nicely that she's not my type and we can do better.

 

As an aside, we're walking around in this mob of people and in-and-out of these crowded and seedy clubs and both Bruno and Marcos are being totally protective of me. Not that I ever felt threatened in any way, but I would NEVER go into this kind of an area or situation if I didn't know and trust Bruno well enough.

 

About this time, Marcos hooks up with a girl he knows so Bruno and I move on and I see this one standout beautiful, classy looking and petite young girl with long brown hair, a sarong-type wrap skirt and halter who didn't look like she belonged but was the perfect candidate. We go up the steps to talk to her and Bruno pulls me aside laughing to tell me that it's a guy. Now Brazilians have a particular thing for drag queens and pre-ops that I don't share. Give me a real girl or a real guy, I'm not really interested in effeminate men sexually. BUT, this chick is fantastic and sexy and, so help me god, REAL. The voice, the movement, the nuances are all

there to the extent I'm ready to go for it and so is Bruno. So we jump in a cab and head back to the Astoria Copacabana Hotel where I'm still in the suite with the rooftop hot tub and sauna.

 

Alas, it wasn't to be. I got totally shot down by the desk clerk on getting them to my room although, I promise you, they were both totally presentable in polite company. At that point it's about two in the morning (four on my body's timeclock) and I'm just past the point of going onward and upward to a sex motel. So I give them $R50 and send them on their way in a cab. Next trip, though, next trip.

 

Enough for this chapter. I WILL finish the narrative of the trip this weekend, though, as I'm sticking close to home after all my travels. If I'm lucky, I'll even have email again by Tuesday!

 

And to all a good night.
