Re: Trip 4 - 25th to 27th May

Resumed conciousness at 7 Am - last day already! Pop out for a morning smoke, roll a few more for walking around, grab breakfast and pack bag. Out by 10.30 for a long slow walk to the station. Weather still cool grey and windy and threatening rain :( First stop was Kadinsky (just off Spui) where I p...

Re: Trip 4 - 25th to 27th May

Woke around 4.30, TV still going, rolled a couple and wandered outside for a morning constitutional. After a sojourn back in the room, did a bit of admin (top up chipkaart, changed up some cash) and headed into the dam. First stop Barentz - well not quite having got fairly stoned before the train, i...

Re: Trip 4 - 25th to 27th May

Jst a short trip this time, would have liked an extra day, but couldn't find a single roon and the double meant I had to spend one less night there. Arrived in Haarlem on the 25th, fine and sunny, not too hot, not too cold. Had a couple of hours to kill before checkin so I wander north from the stat...

Trip 4 - 25th to 27th May

Well I know it's a bit late, but I find that trying to recall details
is difficult (usually I piece together my movements from the date
stamps on my photos), and logging on here makes me want to go
straight back to NL for another trip!

Anyhoos, here's a brief account of the fun and games...

Re: Barentsz

Visited Barentz based on the above write-ups. It is a bit out of the way but worth the 10 min bus ride. Got Bubblegum, Royal Cream and SuperSimle. Lady serving was v. nice and brought my coffee through to me. I had the smoking room to myself, and it is really nicely decorated, with very comfortable ...

Re: Birdy (Haarlem)

Visited Birdy on my last trip - somehow I managed to miss it on the previous few. This is a very nice shop, with very good smokes. Got some Knetter, no idea what genetics it is, but it fairly comprehensively messed me up. Also got Tempel Polm which was some excellent hash. They do deals too - stuff ...

Re: May 28 - June 4

Thanks for your answer :D It's possible to reach dam square from vondelpark walking ? How far away is ? Sure, don't know how far, but Amsterdam is a small place. You can figure it out here: http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF8&hl=en&oe=UTF8&start=400&num=200&msa=0&msid=108...

Get an OV-chipkaart. Pay-as-yougo type.
You have to top up with cash (at the Centraal Station).

Trip 4 - 25th to 27th May

After my last trip was a bit of a disaster - hit by snow/freeze and then flu, I decided it's safe to try again.
Will be in de Pijp on 26th, and Jordaan/Centrum 27th.
Can't wait.

Right, back in the land of the living. What I thought was a cold that started on my trip turned out to be a good dose of flu (swine or seasonal - I'm not sure, or care). I'm just coming through the other side of it now, so can finish up my trip report. So, set off Saturday, braving the snow and the ...

Midwinter madness

So today is the day - I need my head read even thinking about going to the corner shop, let alone the Netherlands, but too late to cancel now. Had some snow yesterday, and a six hour power cut :twisted: . When I got up today, no disruptions were reported, but we have had a couple more inches of snow...
