June 24-27

Hey people,

I am off to the fantastic Amsterdam on the 24th for the 2nd time. Me and my girl are there for 3 nights. I had read up on here and a few other places about apartments and have one booked. The place was referred to me when I emailed Funky Chicken apartments and they were booked. I got an email from Lazy Monkeys with pics of an apartment that is available and was the same price as the Funky Chicken one. It is on Geldersekade near Neiuwmarkt. Have any of you stayed here or heard of Lazy Monkey. Seems all good and have booked the place. It is smoking friendly and have utensils apparently.

When we were last there the weather was crap and I was not feeling too well. This time being summer I am hoping for some good weather as we want to do a canal tour and also hire a bike and ride around. I have read through a bunch of threads here and have gotten loads of information about things to do and how to do it (thanks heaps to all those who unknowingly helped me out). I have a couple of questions though regarding canal tours. I have read that the best ones are the english speaking ones not the pre recorded ones. Which ones are the spoken ones and are there any recommendations? We just want a one maybe 2 hour cruise.

Also I am looking at the bike options. I have recycled rentals and Mikes bikes as options so far. Do you have to book these in advance. We don't really want to hire if its raining and will just make the call on the day. Are there any other rental places worth looking at?

Also I am looking to buy a few 5g deals as well to stretch things out a bit. I am pretty keen on Blueberry and know that Mellow Yellow do 4g deals for around 25E and 420 do some for 38 for 5E or thereabouts. Is the Mellow Yellow one usually good? I know they also do S5 haze which I am keen on as a potential haze or Mexican haze from Katsu. Also looking at maybe Grey Berry, what do you guys reckon of this strain? It sounds really interesting as I love Bubblegum and Blueberry.

I will be picking up a few 1g and half g bits as well but want a couple of good priced bulk deals. I have also considered HSB special. That seems to have good reviews. I will buy a small bit first to check it. It is right near our apartment so will be able to nab a bit if it is good. I also am looking for a decent Maroc 5g deal. I have been smoking a lot of Maroc so I am fairly fussy at the moment. Caramello would be good or something stronger.

I also intend to use vaporisers as much as possible. I am really keen to try the Verdampers. I only tried a Volcano on the last day we were there and it was awesome. I am keen to pick up some well fruity strains and crank them in vapes. The Blue Cheese I had last time from Barney's Lounge was the most flavoursome weed I have ever had. The bag smelt like Blueberry pancakes! I want to get some chocolope and some Lemon Larry. Any other wicked flavours I should vape?

Any advice is appreciated. And again thanks for the information you have already supplied by posting here. I am sure there are loads of others who never post or even join that benefit from this site.

You have been posted on the June Whos In Town page.

You can see who else may be in town during your stay.

Watch for Toke & Talks, I post them up to the last minute.
Or post one of your own. All I need is a date, time, and coffeeshop to post it.
While you are in town, Amsterdam Roots Festival and a Toke & Talk is planned.

By default I link your posting to your profile page here on ACD.

https://www.coffeeshopdirect.com/forum/membe ... le&u=57979

I can change it to a web link ( myspace, facebook, personal page )
or an email address if you want.

You can do a little practice shopping on the Coffeeshop Menus page.

Hey Muphy, that sounds pretty good to me. We also like Barney's uptown and were intending to head there at some stage anyway. Perhaps Saturday afternoon would be good since you aren't leaving that day and it will be our first full day there. I want to be able to have a pint or two while I smoke also. How does that sound?

Hey Muphy,

Saturday sounds good to me, I was there at around that time in Feb for my birthday. It is a great place to chill smoke and eat. I will aim to be there at 4.20pm. I was intending to head there anyway. See you then.

Did you manage to sort a canal tour at all? I am curious to know if you have who it is with. I have an email Addy for voyages if you want to email them to ask.
