Another Point of View

I have been going to Amsterdam two or three times a year since 2011. I went three times in 2016. My most recent trip was December 2 through December 12. My wife had planned a trip to New Orleans December 13 through December 18. So, I got home around 9:00 on the 12th and the next morning I got on a p...

Re: Picasso

Long story why I ended here, but I did. In probably close to 50 visits to Amsterdam, I have never encountered more rude staff.

Third Trip of the year is happening

I visited Amsterdam in February and August this year. I had also booked a flight for December 2-12. But shortly after I booked it, we learned that my wife has a heart issue that will eventually require open heart surgery. The doc wanted to do another test in October to see whether the issue was gett...

Re: Noordermarkt

dwarf, I am with you. It was even on my list of must does during my August trip, but I was very lazy on that trip. I will be back in December and it will be on my must do list.

Re: My August Trip is Underway

Monday August 22 For breakfast, I went somewhere that has been on my breakfast and dinner lists for sometime, but I have never made it before: The Lobby Bar. It was very good. Between the Lobby Bar and Mandarjn, I may have decided to relocated my home base to the other end of Damrak. I had dinner at...

Re: FIRST month-long EuroTrip experience starting in Amsterdam!! 30 August 2016

You have the right attitude calling it your first month long trip. I would prioritize Berlin, and from there, Prague is a quick train ride. Prague is my second favorite city on earth.

Re: My August Trip is Underway

Sunday August 21 I thought I should scale back my weed buying, since I have plenty for the remainder of my trip. I made bowls of the White Walker and the Caramello and maintained my buzz. I had off sworn getting high for about ten days before this trip. It made a big difference for the first few day...

Re: My August Trip is Underway

Saturday August 20 Since I had a big dinner the night before I decided to go for croissants at Sugar and Spice Bakery. After breakfast, I decide to cut over to Utopia. Utopia yields White Walker two grams for €32 and gram of Caramello for €10. I got my first menu picture at Utopia. http://i1259.phot...

Re: My August Trip is Underway

Friday August 19 Woke up early enough to get to De Bakkerswinkel by 8:30. Had the French toast and bacon. After breakfast, I went to Hunters for a cappuccino and a vape. I tried the liberty haze from Amnesia sandwiching the rest of the ground zero hash from Nobodies Place. From there, I started wond...

Re: My August Trip is Underway

Wednesday August 17 I over slept this morning, but no harm no foul. Set my alarm too early and so didn't get up, and fell back to sleep until 8:12. My train was leaving at 8:49. Ok, skip the free breakfast and get a jump on it. I made it. And when I got to Amsterdam, I had a ready made excuse for a ...

Re: My August Trip is Underway

Tuesday August 16 2016 Sometimes a plan simply works perfectly, but back to that later. I am in Venlo at the Hotel Wilhelmina. My first stop was Coffeeshop Nobody's Place. I asked the bud tender for a strong Sativa and for some hash to sandwich into it. He sold me Bling Haze flowers at €25 for 1.7 g...

Re: Hello. This place is epic!

Thirtieth birthday or some other thirtieth? I ask because while you may think the thirtieth birthday is significant, I can testify that the first significant birthday is 60 :-). And keep in mind that I am now fueled by 4 hours of sipping jack and ginger in the airport lounge.
