Not feeling 100% so having a slow one, started in Carmona (apologies for not following the poll) needed to just get to the nearest coffeeshop which is Yoyo's but they dont open till 12 so we went to Carmona, grabbed 2 grams of the hawaiaan haze, ok and about it's moneys worth, smokin room doesn't have any ventilation so it was proper tobacco smokey in there, music was typical mtv rap or crap as it sounds to me, probably wont be back - although the dutch chick did have a little flirt with me which was good.

Got the tram up to muntplein to grab some frites, again being monday they dont open till12 so we mooched around the shopping centre for a bit, frites nice as usual.

Walked around a bit before getting the tram back down to yoyo's, grabbed a gram of the dame blanche, wasn't that impressed at first due to there being about 8 seeds in half the gram but then after smoking a j (that was a game due to not having a lighter and yoyo not having one either, so I had to light it off the stove :lol:) ) then I was hypnotised by the patterns on the table, I'm going to grow those seeds out now hahaha.

Came back to the hotel and put my head down for an hour or so then we're heading up Centrum to grab something to eat, probably cafe de klos for ribs/meat.
SEEDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! oh no

Soundtrack: Dream Warriors - Wash Your Face In My Sink (dont ask) :lol:

Fuck me I'm so full.

"ribs please"

"are you sure?"

"no, I'd eat everything on the menu"

and so it went on, brilliant banter as usual at Klos, when we were ordering the beers the Mrs asked for a large Palm to which I mentioned about the glass to her, the barman said "I'd put it in a pint glass, I dont give a shit" - the funny thing is if someone said that to you in the UK you'd probably walk out. :lol:

After several beers and a munch we popped down to Happy Feelings (used to be Global Chillage) which is actually a new coffeeshop for me as I near enough always go to Dolphins, nice clean coffeeshop, decent looking menu, I looked at the La Conf (€11.00 a gram I think) and the Lemon Skunk @ €9.50 a gram which smelt of old socks (classic skunk smell to me) with a hint of citrus, yeah I'll grab a gram of that, they have verdaampners on every table but I just wanted a j, nice classic skunk flavour with a hint of lemon running through it, classic half shut eyes after the j.

We decide to have an early night, so we grab some beers and munchies from AH (the beer I had is Wieckse Rose, only 4% but well fruity and refreshing, I've also got some tins of Bavaria Pilsners.

I'm going to hang out the window and smoke a joint of something in a bit, laters.

Pauli, we used lastminute.com, the room is a small double and was on some offer on there.

I think we paid about €3.60 for 6 tins of the Bavaria, we drank them in the hotel, no fridge but the window ledge was cool enough to keep them at a decent temp, heading down for brekkie in a bit then I'm thinking maybe Paradox if we get the tram or somewhere like Little if we decide to get a bike today, I'm still not 100% so I dont know exactly where/what I'm going to do today.

check out the turkish @paradox, it was fresh in jan & had a lovely organic taste which The Gardener rightly titled it 'potato hash', be warned though its tightly pressed & takes ages to put into joint

Brekkie at the hotel was alright, usual meats, cheese, eggs (scrambled/hard boiled), toaster, juices coffee & tea.

I guess the brekkie tasted nice as I've literally got no taste.

Got €5 Chocolope, alright I suppose but it burnt with a bit of black in the ash, also got €5 bag of LA Conf and the Manali Jungle but I haven't tried either.

Had a really nice walk round the Joordaan taking a few snaps and generally just enjoying being there.

Amsterdam seems to be even more expensive than last April, yeah the exchane rate is rubbish but everything seems to have increased in price so it's a bit of a double whammy.

Popped into coffeeshop Balou and they had Chocolope & Big Buddahs Cheese the cheese didn't look very good so I grabbed the smallest bag of the chocolope, exactly the same as Paradox as far as I can tell, about the same money as well.

The mrs wanted to do some shopping so yeah we did some :lol: .

I then decided to accidentaly walk up to Basjoe so I did, usual greeting from James who when asked how's things he replied "good, real slow" I think the Bas Special has some Diesel running through it just because of the bud formation, nice looking buds and yeah I'm nice and stoned after but I'm now getting zero taste from anything I'm smoking, oh well I'll persevere.

Got the tram down to Albert Cuyp as we had to find a new rucksack as mine split sometime during the travelling, found a laptop one for €15, he wouldn't shift on the price.

Wasn't really feeling like smoking so we grabbed a vietnamese loempia, I reckon it would of been well tasty :lol:

Chilling back at the hotel for a bit before heading put for a munch, maybe just grab a wok to wlak tonight or a chinese.
