tsalnukt 1 #1 August 8, 2008 Anyone know of any really nice, not so "touristy", safe, cheap, beautiful, beachy places to go for a month or 2? we're basicly looking for somewhere to just sit on a beach, sip cheap drinks, and chill for a while. Any ideas???? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lippy 775 #2 August 8, 2008 Cartagena Colombia. The beaches aren't the most beautiful but they're nice. There's a lot of history there, really beautiful buildings and a cool old Spanish castle that's like nothing you've ever seen. Lots of little islands around there and boat rentals are easy to come by. Aside from the touristy sight-seeing stuff, there's lots of nice clubs with a good mix of Colombians and gringos in the evenings, some really chilled out cafes, the place is paradise. It's growing in popularity, but the stereotype that Colombia's nothing but guerrillas and coke has kept it from becoming super-touristy like Aruba. You could probably rent an apartment in the old side for a few months for less than $1K, or if you want to save $$$ there are plenty of hostels. Do some research on the place and feel free to shoot me a PM for more info.I got nuthin Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
peregrinerose 0 #3 August 8, 2008 We just got back from the best vacation ever... Stayed at Davis' country cabins in Hammond NY. For $500/week we got a boat and HUGE cabin on the lake, for another $150 we got a motor and all the gas we could use. It's 1/2 hr to the thousand islands region too, which is more touristy and upscale. Not so beachy, but definitely water, and there's nothing as relaxing as taking a nap on a boat with a fishing pole in hand, not giving a shit if you catch anything or not We're going back there every year I think as it was just so much fun.
