Day1
Well I am here and the first day has been as crazy as it could be. The flight over was pretty quick and arrived 15mins early. After the usual storing of my bag in the train station locker routine, I set off in search of my first
stop of the day. Arrive at HGF at just after 10am and after a quick look over the menu I decided that I needed the Cheese.
The Tender showed me the TUB and it stank, infact it had a stink I have never smelt before EVER and I had to have a couple of grams. Grab a strawberry LOOZA and the little table by the window and start to roll a nice big fatty. One thing that is instantly noticeable is the resin left on your fingers after touching the stuff, it also has a slightly different look to what it has had on previous trips. Anyway on we go, I chong away on this
spliff for a while thinking to myself that it hasn't done anything so start making another one up.
This Cheese hits slow and hard, so hard that I have never been as stoned as I was off this shit. After the second spliff I needed help
so a quick look at the very blurred menu (VERY) and decided on some Amnesia Haze 11euro a gram. The Amnesia was okay but I
have had better but it added something different to the Cheese stone which was now taking me on a serious trip.
Around 11:30am I decided to go and grab some food with the intention of returning, but I was so fucked I just got some munch and trekked round for a while taking in the sights and all that (VERY FUCKED!!)
After sorting my head out a bit I hit up Grey area for some bud but as norm the queue was mega so I sat around the corner waiting for it to calm down. After an HOUR of waiting the shop was clear so I made some purchases of E.C.S.D, Yumboldt, and Wobble. Turned around to go out and the queue behind me was out the door and round the corner LMAO. I quickly find a bench and roll a yumboldt spliff
which I noticed was WET, yes WET fucking weed from the GA, which fucked up that spliff. So on to the ECSD which I rolled up next, this was dry at least with a nice taste but it did have a slight plastic taste in there which for me spoilt it so overall not good from the GA on these two. Not smoked the wobbler yet so that one will have to wait.
It was now 2pm and time to get sorted and collect the apartment keys, by the way I am still fucked and slightly tripping of the HGF cheese.
I go and get a tram pass. They are now these Chip card things which are easier to use than purchase
. Now time to get tram No. 4, the tram line on the Utrechstraat is being repaired so the tram goes past Mellow Yellow and left at the bottom putting me at a different stop on Fredericksplein to what I needed to be at for the apartment owner to meet me. After 30mins he manages to find me and show me to my pad for the next few days, nice place TBH with all I will need to get me by. After the landlord leaves I hit the road again for a meet up with Gapie at Basjoe which I arrived
at well late but he was still waiting. In Basjoe we both grabbed the Bas special coz there's NO TERMINATOR some drinks and get
some spliffs on the burn. I say NO TERMINATOR but Gapie had a bit with him so proceeded to smear it on the Js which was a nice
addition to the spliff and got hold of my cheese stone for a while. After telling Gapie about the current batch at HGF he decided he wanted some so off we went to grab some more. At this point I dropped into Bagherra to grab some of the UK EXODUS CHEESE
of which I got 2 grams then off to HGF. At HGF we both grab some Cheese and Gapie rolled up a HGF cheese spliff. I rolled the Bagherra Cheese splif, we sat outside and smoked up into what was becoming a nice evening (WEATHER wise). After a couple of spliffs I decided to get back ready for my Meet and Greet, Plan: jump on tram 4 to
back, grab a shower then off to Old Amsterdam. This is where everything went wrong, my tram could go no further than Rembrandtplein due to a car crash with a motorbike. After 15mins stuck on a tram we were kicked off to walk to our destination. I didn't know where the hell my apartment was, I had been only once, let alone walk to it, I had no map on me oh fuck. For the walk to where ever the fuck I was going I grabbed a Wok 2 Walk and rolled a quick fatty . After walking around for around 45min I found somewhere I recognised, the Apartment and guess what all the walking around and it is 5 mins from Rembrandtplein 
. Jump in the shower and get changed whilst sparking up another fatty of cheese for a pick me up. I awake at 11pm, yes thats right, 11pm!Before the Cheese spliff I was going out after it I was in bed. Fuck knows how I got there but I was there in bed and had been for the last 4.5 hours. Which meant I had missed my own Meet and greet with mini crawl oh fucking hell this cheese is just crazy, CRAZY, shit . Decided to go out anyway so grabbed my coat and hit the road, heading after a look on the map to Rembrandt plein.
Could not see any1 in Old Amsterdam, that I recognised from descriptions, so off to The Saint CS round the corner. Not been here for a long time as it was a dog hole before with crap weed, after a quick look at the menu I grab the Killer Kush which was expensive but nice, I'll give it a good visit next trip.
After a while Idecided a trek up to Dampkring 2 for Hot Chocolate. The CS was pretty empty but it was like well late by now.
I grabbed some white Choco, which was a bargain at 7 euro and a very nice budget strain, sat down and rolled a pure Bas special with White Choco
topping, mmmmmmmm nice very nice and set me up nice for the walk back to the apartment. Armed with a cheese spliff I make my way back to the apartment which I find in no time, slap the television on and start to write this up which i have now been doing for the last 2 hours and I would say that this is the end of a CRAZY Day 1.
The Pics from that day
Day 2
Today started as usual with a couple of spliffs, thought I would give the wobbler a go which is a very nice strain and one I would purchase everytime if it was on the menu. I decided to do something different today so I get showered, changed and head for the tram stop. Soon I am at Centraal station with a plan... I am off to a place called Hoorn. Now I am not heading for a CS crawl just for a look TBH, but I have the Cs mapped just incase . After a 30min train ride I arrive at my destination.
Armed with a good ten spliffs I head off on a stoned sightseeing adventure during which I took many pics.
As you can see from the pics this place is well quiet and a good place to bring the missus for a non CS day, there are plenty of bars, restaurants and seafood places to eat/drink but the CS scene is pretty dead. Out of the three CSs I had mapped I only found one, one was an empty building, and the other I could not find.
This is the one I found but it doesn't open until later.
So I will not get to go into this one this trip. After another little walk round I decided to grab a quick munch and head back to the Dam.
In no time at all I am back at Central station and planning my next CS to hit. Decide to go off to La Tertulia for a toastie, OJ and some Cake for later. On arriving and looking at the menu I grab some Kushadelic,Ketama, Toastie, OJ, and a weed brownie. Munched my food down and off I went back to the apartment for a shower ready for the evening ahead. After a little sleep for a couple of hours I shower, change and head off into the night in search of a CS to chill in.
First stop was Hagen Das for this:
Yes that is my weed brownie and it was fucking lovely, the Weed brownie got me stoned infact quite fucked for a few hours which made a very enjoyable evening which involved alot of just walking and toking. After a while I head off to Dampkring 2 for a hot Choc and some white choco (AGAIN). Unfortunately the white choco was a box of what looked like ground up bits so I grab a cheese skunk aswell incase it was cock. The white choco was okay but not as good as the batch yesterday which was buds, the cheese Skunk is also a very nice strain and both where so cheap at 7euro IMO. After a hot choc and a couple of spliffs I head off to grab
some food. Off to the Burger Bar which I have never been to, get there and order a small burger just to check it out. OMFG these things are awesome and after finishing it I vowed never to have a trip to the Dam without visiting The Burger Bar. I also promised myself to return 2moz for a big beast. After being stuffed by my burger I decide to head back to the apartment, so armed again with a HGF Cheese spliff I slowly walk back to the apartment. (By the way i have decided only to smoke HGF cheese before bed due to it being so potent at the moment).
So thats the end of Day 2, not many purchases but I still have loads over from day 1 and TBH I have had a really good day today.

Day 3
Today the weather is pretty crappy and after a check on the computer and sending a few PMs I decided to hit the tourist trail again. I had not had a spliff as yet so decided to stick to the near 2 grams of Bagherra cheese I had and sat pre rolling all of that for my little trip. After the usual Shower and change, I hit the street and decide to walk over to Leidseplein to get
the tram, the 15min walk turned into 30mins due to having the most torrential downpour and having to take cover. I hid under some
scaffolding and sparked up my first spliff of the Day in the form of the so called UK Exodus cheese, TBH I was pretty pissed coz it tasted pretty nasty but i continued toking as it was all I had pre rolled for the trip. I arrived at the tram stop and in no time at all I was at the terminus and stop for Molen van Sloten. By now the rain had stopped so I sparked up another cheesy for the walk, by the way it is a good 20min walk so if you want to go take the bus it drops you outside .
On the walk I snapped a few pics and on arriving at the mill took a few more.
Never went in the mill as I decided it was something I would prefer to do with my family on our next visit.
Due to the crap weather I headed back into the Dam and within 40mins I was at central station and on my way to Siberie where I had the biggest cup off coffee to date in the Dam and some mightey whitey which was okay for
the euros. After a few spliffs and a couple of massive coffees I head off back to my apartment ready for the Meet and greet
with Scully at Barneys Lounge.
Quickly get changed out of my wet clothes, shower and head out the door to Barneys, I arrived slightly late , but not to late, grabbed a looza and some Blue Cheese. It was pretty busy in there so I sat near the door and rolled a blue cheese up, this weed was really bad and i was honestly thinking WTF has happened to this place? After 10mins I had a text off
Scully saying they had left as one of his lot was not feeling too good. After drinking my Looza I do one back to the apartment to get ready for the evening ahead. After a little rest I decide to grab some more HGF cheese and head to Betty Boop for a while.
Here I purchased their Power Plant and a picture of the menu for the menu site. Spent an hour smoking the Power plant and drinkinga couple of Loozas, have to say this was the friendliest tender this trip so far.
Anyway I decide next stop is the Dampkring 2 for the normal hot choc and a few joints. Did not purchase any weed at the Dampkring, just sat stinking the place out with HGF cheese.
After a few hours of toking (Well fucked) it was again Burger Time. Off I head in search of the beast, as I walk past Blues Brothers a women asked for a light, so I pass her my lighter and she asks can she have it whilst showing me a crack pipe. Of course after she had touched it i decided she could keep it and quickly headed back on track. After another 10 meters I am stopped again by a French guy asking if I was Dutch, after a sort of crazy conversation where he speaks very little English, and I speak no french I realised
he wanted a CS and with his inability to really understand my Brummie English I decide to show him. I take him to the Rokerij on the
Singel. He then asks me to come in, at this time I am thinking I want my fucking burger. Anyway I give in and go in, we both grab
some Laughing Buddah and drinks and the table near the counter. You have to understand that this lads English is as bad as my French so I am trying to explain the No tobacco rule and how out of sight is required with tobacco, also he wants beer with his spliff so then have to explain about the No booze in CS. Just one crazy conversation that had me holding my head many times. But eventually after a couple of spliffs and a crazy conversation I was at last off for dinner at the Burger Bar. On arrival it was busy so decided
to head back to the apartment to eat. TBH apart from a bit of toking at the apartment and a mooch on the ACD site this was the end of my last evening in the Dam but it had been fun.

Day 4
Last day today so after checking I've packed all my stuff and grabbed a shower, I head off to enjoy my final day in the Dam.
After grabbing the tram to Central station and sticking my bag in a locker I head off out into a very nice day considering the crap weather this trip.
After a few hours roaming and taking pics I decide to head back to La Tertulia to try something I spotted earlier in the week, on
arrival it is empty so I grab the usual toastie, and OJ and some Hash Plant Haze (Soz no pic) I down my munch and roll a couple
of joints to continue my roaming with. On my way out I grab a quick pic of the menu which is pretty crap but here it is anyway.
I leave here and spark up a HP Haze which although dont taste the greatest actually kicked my face in. Not like the HGF cheese it's more energising but still gives me blurred vision. I must say I was impressed and will try and get this strain again next time if it is in stock. Anyway after a blurry afternoon I find myself back where I started earlier in the week. My final stop was
HGF for some Cheese to keep me high until I get home. After a nice coffee and a cheesy I head off to the train station, I decide to smoke my last spliff near the station instead of the normal airport spliff just incase I am fucked like day 1 and I was. I took these pics whilst toking away which became the final snaps of what was a pretty good trip.
Well I am here and the first day has been as crazy as it could be. The flight over was pretty quick and arrived 15mins early. After the usual storing of my bag in the train station locker routine, I set off in search of my first
