Amsterdam Coffeeshop Directory Forums

ok people tease me on these trips about never making a trip report. Of course it wont be as good as some but here goes.

I have been to tons of shops already so i wll hit on some that left memories. Voygers is like a 2 min walk from our apartment. Highly blessed is a great person and got some good smoke from there. The greenplace is like 2 mins the other way and bas joe down the same street about 7 min walk. OUr apartment is awesome. I will write up with pics in the hotel place later, I will mention we have a human skull as one of the many wild decorations. We love it,being dead heads and all. First bad experience. The DOlphins. We went in there I was the first to order. I ask about a particular hash and she said it was good but that I should try the white dolphin. I said cool give me it.(more in a min about that). Before the rest ordered she informed all of us that we have to buy some drinks to stay and smoke there. Of course I grabeed my hash off the counter because our friend was like we are out of here. Not good hospitality esp if we planned on spending money there. Oh yeah back to the hash. We went into the waterhole a bar, got some beers (I got a wine cooler type thingie) and started in on the hash from rude dolphins. We were all like....wow at least we scored some good shit from there. Of course met the group at the nes later and had fun. More happened that day but I cant remember them all right now.
day two....... I cant remember...............oh yeah I remember....uhhhhhhhhh no I dont. hehehe. It will eventually come to me. (did I mention I just woke up).

good smoke so far(that I remember)

greenplace- blueberry is great.
dolphins- white dolphin hash (although Im not happy with them right now)
voygers- Shoot if could remember, I wish I would of taken pics of the menus at least) LOL. Either way I was happy with the pot and the service.
I have bought a bunch more but cant remember it all. As I remember I will post it.

ok so I will post as I go alongHope you guys can enjoy my venture.. smiles and hugs to all at home. Wish you were here.

the boat ride will be a story in its own.. hehe

Day3.........the imfamous boat ride. (I know IM out of order please bear with me, LOL)
So we wake up early finally because in 4 trips I have never made a canal boat cruise so IM going for this one! (and after all voygers is only 2mins from us)LOL. I tell DH we can make this surely and we did. after all we have missed most of the crawls. Also was the day my old buddy Res is coming in town. He used to be an active poster and also has his own board but not alot of activity on there lately. So we agree to meet at the Prix D'ami since its 2 mins from central station. They got some good smoke and were very stoned when we got there so we had to catch up. We talk abit and get stoned and then decide to get breakfast. The food thing is new and it was great. so as we are sitting there some punk comes in and sits right with us. He looks at me and I look at his abdomen area and it looks like he has a gun on me. So everyones quiet a minute, he asks for us to give him some pot and then I said sure lets finish this joint. well I knew he would have to pull out his hand to grab the joint and sure as shit it was a
lighter and not a gun. I called his bluff. So when the joint came back to me. I grabbed my weed and stood up and said we had to get going. Told rez the iteneerary for the day and got going. When I grabbed my weed, he looked at me and said, your not going to leave me your weed and I said NO this is my weed and you cant have it. SO he starts in on rez and his mate. I took off down stairs and went straight to the counter, and they were on that like hotcakes. Needless to say he got away. So I chalk it up as a punk fucker. My trauma nursing experience has me crossing paths with many people like him.
On to voyagers for our imfamous boat ride.
So the crowd is gathering buying smoke and waiting for all to arrive. As I sit out in the sunshine enjoying people watching, quess who walks up with his girlfriend. Punkman I call him now. We get eye contract. I do not take my eyes off him, he walks into the shop, says something to his girl, they both turn around at the same time, look at me, Im still staring and they hurry out. My eyes never leave him and as he walks by I say YOU TWO HAVE A NICE DAY(very loud) and they both looked back without stopping and said you too and thank you. I should of busted his ass but IM hoping he learned his lesson that people in the coffeeshops watch out for each other. More about the D,Ami later. On to the boat.
Theres lots of ACDer milling around and so the planning begins. SOme of us walk down and look at the boats. There are 3. Some of the more skittish and more handicap decide right away to not go. I being the adventurous one will go. We still need two groups. So the first of us go, we divide into boats, and 4 seater boat was filled with 6 of us and a high energy dog. Notice I say say high energy. he was cute though. We meet the pilot and he has a big beard and a heavy accent to where you can barely understand him. SO the adventure begins. AKlaker started in the standing position between these two box things (this boat is like the version of a speed boat from the 60s, my dad hadone similar in the 60s). SOback to the pirate. I cant understand what he is saying so I am winging it. A short way into the ride I switch places with AZ, he sits and I stand . I look down and realize we are taking on water... I am smoking and stoned again and bust out laughing. Well then I realize I could sit up on one of these box things, had a great view and the dog had room to run his laps around the boat. Lem got the worst of this because he and J were in the front seat and the dog use them as a spring board. We laughed. The ride, when arggggggggggh our pilot was watching the canal. He would take his eyes off the water to mumble to us. I am starting to sort of understand him. He asks me if I can swim. I told him sure and I know about boats too and we are taking on water.......... ROFL. I told him yes I can swim well. He nods his head and we cntinue on. The dog was runing laps around the boat rim the whole time. and the boat would llist to the side the dog was on. We would all just sway the opposite way and come upright again. SO I decide to look around for life preservers. in the US, it is illegal to be in a boat without life preservers. There are none. In my mind Im thinking who am I going to have to save if they cant swim. ROFL. I am still laughing about this boat trip. Its a gorgous day and I take off my jacket to get some sun. I am enjoying the trip alot, but like I said, this boat trip in not for the ones leary of regular boats. You will not enjoy this. I did.we went by the artis zoo and seen some animals. Lots of beautifl scenes but I cant understand the pirate so I just nod and smile. We go gas up and then pawn the cute dog on another boat,which only has 3 people in it. (did I mention the other two boats were John boats which is like little fishing boat. Guess what, they caught up with us and the dog jumped back into our boats. We all laughed and I told them as they were drifting away, WE love OUR dog.. ROFL. Rest of the trip nothing spectacular happened. Thanks Trad for organizing this and highlyblessed for being our gracious host. will say some more later. Hope you guys dont mind me jumping around. Oh and by the way, we had dinner with AZ and his wife at the Prix. I feel very safe in there. Not going to let some punk ruin it for me. The dinner food was good but sandwich type. Im sure they will expand thier menu when the food thing catches on there. Gonna go get ready for more adventures. ttfn

Nice one Catt, I love your style, writing and punk dunking . I wont say it's as good as being there cos it couldn't be but it's close, a great vibe thanks.

Awesome read Catt... Am I to get this right you got HIGH WITH REZ??.. How the heck is he doing??.. I missed talking to my old friends.. Cant wait to read the rest with a fatty in tow

WTF, nobody carries a gat in Amsterdam, at least no one you are gonna see in a coffeeshop 99/100 times. Want to hear more of this story, my experience is make it clear you will not take any shit and they slink away. Why you go to sleep so early last night???

I agree totally Marco. I felt he was bluffing so I call him out on it. Sometimes in my city shit like that happens also. I actually live out of the city but work in it : ,.. Last night welllllll my husband was hung over bad from the night before. I almost walked back, its like 10 minswalk but thought I better stay in. We will be around tonight.

@bigg....... It sort of look like him but I cant be sure. Either way I hope he learned his lesson.

great read Catt...hope all is well for you and DC

thanks peeps. I havent seen any bubble gum yet come to think of it. I will keep an eye out for it. We are well Code, thanks for asking.

day 6 Imagine film festival. We managed to get 14 people up and to the show by 1150 am. 6 of us that all are staying near the green place cs went in there to meet. I forgot the strain I bought but it was good. I think the budtenders feelings were a little hurt because he didnt come in first. they did come in 2nd. I told him I thought the smoke was better at his place also but that when you try and get stoners to do something like vote for cs well you know how it goes. SO we decide to walk. Its a gorgous day and we all say to go for it. It was about 40 min walk but we took our time. We had wolfdangler in our group but some people met us there. Wolf got us all in and gave us two ddrinks afterwards. The movie was suprisingly good with a plot and it was hillarious. Definately a stoners fun movie to see. I wont tell you about it because I dont want to ruin it for you if you want to go see it. After the drinks we decide to go check out the Het balloje <sp> which is one block down. Alot of people were pleased with the smoke they got from there. cheaper prices too. Nice friendly staff. If you can get there its good. Everyone is so tired from the weeks events. TOmmorrow being easter we are going to hestia house for dinner. But otherwise its a chill day. and then we begin week two.

On a side and sad note, that missing person that someone posted the pic on here saying he was missing in amsterdam. They found him in peices in the canal. The tour boats tear bodies up and not even know they are there. Its really sad. been lots of divers looking for him.

hope everyone is well and I will post some more again soon. cheers

Wow... after this start...

lol, just kidding. it was a great read...I was hoping to hear all about the boat trip and it sounded like a grand time!

Hey Cat,
It was a real pleasure to meet you and the Mr. I look forward to seeing the both of you again...
Nice to read about a couple of the things that I missed, and sorry to read that someone bothered you, especially with the grab and go incident that happened only a short while later at/near Voyagers.

I look forward to reading some more, especially now that I'm back home.

Happy high...
