You have been posted on the July 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.

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

https://www.coffeeshopdirect.com/forum/membe ... le&u=42535

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.
Any with arrows are less than six months old.

Hi.

I will be there too from next wednesday for a week. This is my forth visit there in the last three months.

The beach is still under construction, but you can spend a few pleasurable hours there. You'll encounter a lot of kite surfers there.

The nearest coffeeshop I found was approx 1.5 miles away. https://www.coffeeshopdirect.com/Trefpunt2.html

There is a great park under a mile away. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flevopark

It's quite a quiet area, but very large and ideal for bike rides.

When exiting the campsite and walking up the stairs of the bridge, you can take a right and get the 26 tram to Ijburg and Central, or take a left for the 7 & 14 trams to Central / Vondelpark / Leidseplein.

Walking from Central to Camping Zeeburg usually takes 1 hour.

If you have any more questions, I will be happy to help.

Hi Densha we should meet up for a smoke

Have you tried the bikes for rent at zeeburg? Any good? I cant decide whether to rent a bike in centrum or the camping bike shop.

im bringing my air mattress do you think they got a pump i can use?

Ironically I brought my air mattress and battery operated pump a few weeks ago, but the pump was broke. I had to manually blow it up (nearly fainted from all the blowing). I didn't even think they might have one available.

Unfortunately I've never hired a bike.

Would be good to meet for a smoke. I won't be hard to find. Just look for a one man green tent with "vango banshee" written on it.

I'll be wearing this t-shirt on the wednesday I arrive....

Yeah it's the brand.

I never bought anything from Trefpunkt. I wll be getting 5 grams of Jack Herer at some point this next visit though. Very cheap place.

Good price for Jack Herer

Can you sit down and have a smoke or just buy and fly?

I read somewhere on this forum that it's just buy n' fly. Not sure if it's still the case. I personally never stay in coffeeshops. Much rather smoke outdoors.
