Fifth and Last Stop - Salvador - A Taxi Finale

Recommended Posts

When I was done in Planetario during my first visit on Thursday, I asked the receptionist to call a taxi for me. Turned out there was no need to call, since there was an in-house guy who freelanced as a no-sign though accredited taxi driver (taxista). On the way he told me he works also as a garoto. Since he was nice looking, I said it was a pity he wasn’t inside as I was making my rounds. He – Afriano - liked the compliment.

More importantly, I asked him how much it would cost me for him to take me to the airport on Sunday morning. He said 60 $R. That’s a great price, since my hotel offers transportation at 90 $R and the accredited office at the airport charges 99 $R! I gladly took his card, and called him on Sunday morning. I’ll include his details in a list of tips I’m planning to post.

We talked on the way to the airport. Turned out I didn’t see him in Planetario the previous night because he works also in Sauna Fox, which he claims is better. One thing led to another, and I asked him how to say en Portugese “crazy” (twirling my hand beside my head). I don’t remember the word he said (it sounded clinical rather than jargon), but I told him I have a crazy question: how about a short programa on the way to the airport? He was nonplussed; said there’s a motel 5 minutes from the airport! I said I didn’t have the time for that, and I meant something really short in the car at a secluded place. He laughed; said at night he would have had no problem, but not in broad daylight. So on we drove, passing by the motel which really was close by.

Since I was – as almost always – cautiously early, when we got to the airport I asked him to wait till I finish with the check-in. The stars were smiling upon me; I was the only one there. Having 50 minutes left to boarding time, I hopped back in the taxi and we drove to the motel. It ws a nice roll in the sack, nothing spectacular, and his face turned out to be the best part of his body. However, as I told Afriano: sex depois check-in con taxista – so en Brazil = sex after check-in with a taxi driver – only in Brazil!!!

Can’t imagine a better way to bid farewell to the country…..and then again, perhaps a flight attendant?

Skewerpole, I have not read or head from you since the FESTA in Rio back in the early 2000s. Damn, it is wonderful to see that you are still amongst us at one of our two sites! Send me a pvt. if you desire; it would be great hearing from you!

And, I, too, am in need of all of 12is12's vital information for my impending trip in October to Rio de janeiro as well as to Bahia. I will NOT stay in the two hotels in Bahia whose names I've forgotten. They were in a great location--right across the street from the beach in Barra area, but one I didn't like the ambience; the other had NO English speaking personnel, and I freaked as well as struggled.

I stayed at a hotel called Studio do Carmo, located one minute from the Pelourinho in Cidade Alta. It's defined as a 3 stars hotel, but I'd rate it higher. Only 9 rooms, which I was surprised to find are actually two rooms suits. Great staff and service; breakfast served in-room.

The problem is the price: 240 $R per night. I'm not sure whether I was paying a peak season rate, since I was there a week after the carnival. I was willing to pay the price because location is important to me; I like to stay within walking distance of the area in which I'll wander. I couldn't find online any other 3 stars hotel in the vicinity, and I wasn't ready to downgrade to 2 stars.
