That sounds good, thanks for the answering!

Since you mentioned the safety issue in Salvador, when looking on Google Maps the area around Clube 11 seems sketchy (and the sauna doesn’t even come up, I need to enter the actual address). I’m guessing it’s still pretty safe to go there if the Uber drops you off right at the door and you go inside immediately (not stay out on the street)? Also, what time do you recommend going (is 6pm a good time to arrive like some other GP saunas elsewhere in Brazil)?

+1 for the Iguazu Falls recommendation. Not the best place to hookup but definitely worth the trip! Salvador might be another suggestion for a mix of beach and saunas (although it’s in the opposite direction if you go to Iguazu Falls). Florianopolis also has beaches but I’m not sure about saunas. Others here might know more.

Ok great, thanks for the reply! I’ll definitely look into the Iberotel. Good to know about the Hapi Hotel in Aswan, I’ll avoid that one specifically but I’ll try to find another hotel in the same area.

I’ll be in Egypt later this year and I’m wondering if anyone has recommendations for hotels in Aswan and Luxor? The Old Cataract and Winter Palace seem to have the best reviews, although both are quite expensive (especially the Old Cataract in Aswan). I’m guessing it’s better to stay on the mainland (East side of the Nile) in both places?

Ok great, thanks!

Thanks for the trip reports on India! In general, did you prefer Delhi or Mumbai?

Uber probably “learned” from all the tourists visiting lol.

Thanks for sharing that article

FWIW, Koh Samui has a few nice temples (Wat Plai Laem being one of them)

*good* cheap food

Such a hidden gem for cheap food!

Wow beautiful scenes, thanks for sharing!

Iguaçu is also an easy side trip. Probably not much sexual fun around there, but good sightseeing.

Floripa is another great place to visit during an extended time in Brazil. Doesn't seem like there's much of a sauna scene, but many hot surfer-type guys around the beaches.
