Yet Another Dam Trip. 6th - 12th August
Posted: Mon 24th Aug 2009 12:24 am
I rarely book more than 2weeks in advance, not because i dont know when im free more the fact im like a child waiting for christmas & waiting to go dam is like wishing your life away. Anyways about 4weeks ago i had a good win at the casino, my first thought was go to dam. couple days later my trip was booked for 10days time. This time round my cousin(my usual dam partner in crime) couldn't make it so i was going solo, but hey not the 1st time &definatly not the last.
6th August: As always i got the 6:25am flight out of gatwick, got chatting to some proper safe geezer from harlesdon called Ali, he was also travelling solo but was meeting his pals from brum at schipol, (for those that know London, Harlesdon is less than 2miles from heathrow, but it actually worked out cheaper for him to get a cab to gatwick &back than to fly from heathrow, how crazy's that) landed at schipol & went got some food, by then his pals had come out, i couldn't check into my apartment until 1pm so i was in no rush. got to central st & yep you guessed it they wanted to go barneys, i weren't feeling that, neither was Ali so while they went & bought grinspoon 3of us went to damkring (on harlemstraat) i got the caramello & they got SSH & jack herer.The caramello was really fresh & sticky, then went barneys lounge & chilled for bout an hour then went our seperate ways. by now my room was ready. my apartment was in the building behind goa cs on newmarket.
It was expensive, especialy as i was solo, but who cares i weren't paying for it, the baracuda club on baker street was
went down to albert heijn got some supplies &headed off too basjoes (1 block down from my apartment) got chattin to james, proper safe geezer, id never really got talking to him before because its always so busy at the counter, got myself a gram of bas special & headed back to my flat. the bud was quite damp & i found a couple of seeds in it, i thought this weren't a good sign but wow, as soon as it was lit, it absolutely stunk, (more than any bud i would consume over the next week) the sweetest taste & super strong head stoned, after smoking the j & finishing my heine i went to kip for a couple hours, which weren't hard considering i hadn't slept for more than 24hours.
after couple hours kip, headed back down to basjoes for some royal hash, for 10e a gram, it was really nice fresh & had a really sweet taste
smoked a j in basjoes then walked down to newmarket for a couple beers & another hash j. at this point i was happily stoned, so headed back to flat for another j of bas special.
7th August: got a message on my phone from Ali seeing what i was up 2, rang him back & told him 2meet me in basjoes, he said he wouldn't be around for a couple of hours, at this point my phone credit ran out, which meant i couldn't even recieve calls or texts (fucking roaming charges), thought id go for a stroll first to give them time to meet up, headed to basjoes got some more royal hash & chilled for bout an hour and half, they didn;t show so i thought fuck it & went to albert heijns for some more beers.
at 7pm went & met gapie at 420, i was about 15mins late & gapie was waiting outside. got some caramello & chilled at the window seats, after 45mins no-one else had shown up so we headed to nes for a beer, DC weren't there, after a leffe we headed down to basjoes, i got some more royal hash & a gram of amnesia haze, that amnesia was one of the nicest weeds of the trip, it was easily over a gram & gapie agreed.
8th August: at 3pm went to m&g at basjoes, gapie was there & soulrider happened to be there, got some royal hash & sat out front in the sunshine,this is the life. no-one else turned up for the meet, i think? unfortunatley we didnt know what anyone else looked like.
heres a couple of pics of some grass soulrider purchased
after that we went our separate ways & on soulriders advise i headed to old amsterdam for some blueberry, 1st time in this shop, went up 2 counter & asked guy if he was marco, he looked at me like you would look at a bailif, i said andy sent me to try out some blueberry, he smiled & pulled out a huge bag of bud for me to smell, i asked for a 12e deal 1.4grams, he pulled out 1big bud &put on scales, it weighed exactly 1.4, he smiled & said it was fate.as i was leaving i asked for a couple of papers, he said 'as andy sent you' & handed me a pack, really nice guy, definatly gonna go back.
bad pic i know. seriously strong, very heavy stoned feeling,it felt like there was a bus parked on my head.
in the evening i headed down to 420 & bought some caramello, &watched the world go by in the window seats
9th August: i really cant remember much of this day, my smoke list says noor 1 gram 14e & black widow haze 1 gram 13e both from Tweed De Kamer, the noor was nice but nothing special, the caramello from damkring on the first day was nicer at 11e a gram, but they were sold out ¬ expecting anymore that night (the damkring/tweed chain were selling super tbizla & caramello, depending where you bought it, but the guy in tweed told me it was the same hash) no matter what it was called it was top grade hash. the black widow haze was lovely, fat buds, really chrystally & a almost citrusy taste & a up high.
10th August: went to stix got some caramello & temple balls, 1st time to this shop, only 1 other person in there, considering its in the centre of the city it really is a quiet location, smoked a ready rolled noor j & headed to 420 for a smoke, after about an hour in there at the window seat went to leave, took my empty cup to the counter & noticed soulrider was in there, dont know how i didnt see him when i entered, anyways arranged to meet up the following evening for a smoke in basjoes. on way to flat popped into greenhouse & got some silver pearl, then detoured to albert heijn got some beers &food & went back to the flat to smoke up the hashes from stix. they were both really nice but id have to say the caramello wasn't up to the standards of the damkring or 420 (420caramello was not as nice as it was over the 420 meet), the temple balls was really soft & had a musty black hash taste, i made sure to save half of it for a wake up spliff the next day (in my opinion the best way to enjoy the buzz of hand rubbed hash) the silver pearl was a strong smoke but cant remember anything else about it.
in the evening headed back down to basjoes, after about half hour in there guess who i saw standing at the counter, soulrider, how the hell did he walk in without me seeing him, twice in 1day. i felt like denzil in 'to hull & back' you know the one, wherever he goes he can see del boy & starts to think hes going mad, we smoked a couple of j's & i left to get a beer.
11th August: went to central cs & got some sahara, 1.5g for 12.5e, good morocan at a really good price, rolled up inside & headed towards hgf, got some shiva 1g, 9e, bit of a piss take considering few months back i got 1.4g for 10e, but anyway it was at its best. got a tea &sat outside, as i was sparking up my sahara joint a homeless guy came & asked me for some change for a burger, he opened his hand to reveal 30-40c in 5c pieces, usually i would have ignored him but for some reason i felt for this guy &handed him a euro in change that i had. he did something iv'e NEVER seen a homeless guy do, he counted the money & gave me back 20c, he really did just want enough for a burger, i left it on the table for the next guy whos down on his luck. i think this act of kindness on my behalf would be repaid to me at a later date.(usually im not someone who believes in superstition & stuff. ive always believed in making your own luck in life).
at 8pm headed to basjoes to meet soulrider for a smoke, got some more of the amnesia haze, after about 45mins i realised soulrider weren't gonna show so i headed off into the RLD for a couple of beers & a final stroll. considering im a huge football fan how the hell did i not remember england were playing holland the next day. it was crazy, drunken idiots everywhere, there was even british cops outside the old sailor. it was a good atmosphere though once you got away from the very centre of the RL, anyways had a few beers & headed back to the flat.
12th August: This is it the moment i hate the most, my flight leaves in 4hours, i pack & tidy up the place a bit, roll a fat amnezia haze joint & head towards 420. get an apple juice & smoke up the j. god im gonna miss it (i dont smoke at home only in the dam). heavily stoned i head towards central st. why is it as soon as that train leaves it already feels like youv'e left the dam. check in my bags & still have half an hour until boarding so head to the casino. i had 50e left so i headed straight to the blackjack table. got up to about 90e & they took it all back. as i placed my last 10e chip some indonesian looking guy came & joined the table , with that last 10e chip 10mins later i had 250e, i looked at the clock & realized my plane had started boarding already, i took the money & headed for the plane,the casino is in the opposite side of the airport to the easyjet gate so it was about 15mins walk, the holding pen was empty & they were waiting for me, i was the last person on the plane & i was getting some dirty looks, but who cares how many of them had just had lady luck smile on them, or maybe that homeless guy was lady luck
oh well its over until next time, not too long though, especially as i already have 250e spending money sitting there.
