“Kermit!?!”

“KERRRRRRRRRRRRRRMIT!!!! Where are you???”

The last time we saw him, he was a bit pissed off that his favorite stomping ground is closed… We talk about breaking into Kermit-search teams. We’ll do a grid search…searching every bit of the wagon wheel until we find him…lol…

I write that we smoke Shoreline bong hits. I also write “Katsu session: Very good except NO KERMIT…where IS that frog?” We decide that we are pretty high and maybe we’ll go frog hunting. When we are getting ready to get ready, who walks in but Kermit and True Playa!!! We stop getting ready to leave and stay for an extended smoke out. NIZZLE contributes a spliff of Tahoe OG with Spoon from Bong…joints being rolled to the left…joints being rolled to the right…it’s another smoke-a-thon!! We get so stoned that I have no notes until Basjoe!! LMFAO!!

Kermit got lost in Amsterdam due to a new PAY and Go phone that needed topping up and he did not know how too , I missed the lads as i was talking to Danny on Arrival day and he sorted me some Kosher and i got paint all over my hands from the work they was doing PMSL, so was a bit longer than needed and the lads got itchy feet and left Betty Boops on me before i got there, I had already told True Playa i was going to be there first (Dont like leaving people sitting on there own) so instead of catch up i waited for him but he never came either Let this be a lesson to anyone taking a new phone, top it up before you go Or use yer brain and go use the machine in the Voda shop

Anyway after a few hours (YES At least 2) waiting for TP or the lads to look in i decided to go collecting some cup entrys

But yeah we made it to Katsu for a few biffs, a bit late but managed it, and yes i was well gutted Voyagers was shut, like having my heart pulled out, and so expensive Amsterdam gets when you have to smoke all the shit weed from other shops when your hotel has all you need.
Although i did not like having the door slammed in my face whilst trying to pay my hotel bill i mean cmon its pissing down who the fuck walks the dam in winter and rain in a T-shirt and jog bottoms??? surely any normal person would realise i was from the hotel and at least give the chance for me to open my mouth. Still pisses me off now that one

Great Trip report .

TICK TOCK

What is happening?
for 2 months, I've been looking forward to reading the continuation of the saga ..
hope there is nothing wrong ..

us are fine...she is mental busy..i am mental

Day 11 / November 26, 2011 / Part 1

…oh yeah…oh yeah…yes…yes…yesyesyesyes! …oh my god…

This wonderful morning finds VOYAGERS OPEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeehaw! Otis and James are already inside when we step through the doors. Sellvegas is also here and we all share some bong hits of the Birthday Bud that is still left. Then Bong smokes some “Moroccan shit” from Sellvegas. I think he just means it is from Morocco…not that it’s shit! (…or was it…?)

Word spreads fast about Voyagers…HPDrifte(r) comes in…the Japanese smoking crew comes in…Matty, Twichaldinho, Scully and Kermit are all here eventually.

Kermit, in fact, shares a very tasty spliff that contains a nice mix of OG-18 from Voyagers + Guchi + Silver Bubble + bubble hash. Now THAT is one TASTY joint! Talk moves in the direction of making Spoon and the question about what is the best butane is raised. Bong uses Vector here in the U.S. Kermit tells us the best in the U.K. is Newport Butane. Got it. If I’m ever in the U.K. and I need some good quality butane, now I have the answer! Lol…

Talk now turns to today’s field trip: NOV. 26TH NAIL HITS BY THE NORTH SEA!!! Yay! Since all the nonsense happened with the Cup and all, we decide we will NOT bring a nail to the sea and to just roll massive amounts of joints and slather them with Spoon.

Doesn’t take long for the table to look like this:



These two are ready to be Spooned…



Spoon is on the INSIDE of this one!



Not sure what this strain is, but it looks TASTY!



Preparing the papers for a giant joint!

]

Filling the papers…



Now THAT is a BIG joint!



As all this construction continues, the coffeeshop continues to fill with ACDers for the field trip. NIZZLE, Cisco, Strawberry Soul, Balou, Dagger and Omnibuzz all end up in the shop. We giggle and talk about the events we experienced the night before. Strawberry Soul cracks me up when she admits using the note she scribbled in ink on her hand last night. I don’t remember what it said…maybe it was directions to her hotel? Maybe it was a reminder of the field trip today??? I don’t recall, but LOL!

Yes, Hide is here…who else drinks Cherry Coke in the morning?!?



I mill around the room saying good morning to everyone and I get “accosted” with some sort of THC delivery system…joints, bongs, pipes…not that I’m complaining…lol… I’m standing over by the wall tables with the tall stools, when in walks Freewheelin’ Frank and his new Mrs. We’ve not seen much of them this trip. (It IS their honeymoon, after all… ) Hellos and hugs are exchanged and they stay for a short time. Mrs. FwF is not used to the amount of smoke generated by an ACD Toke and Talk!

By 12:30, we are ready to leave. Not bad for a room full of stoners! We planned to meet at 11 o’clock and depart after… 90 minutes to roll and smoke…again, I say, not bad! The whole lot of us leave for Centraal Station.

Delft tiles in Centraal Station



Tracks



Hispeed Lounge



Somehow we lose several people. My guess is that they were not as bumbling with the ticket machines as we were… (Matty! …THIS time you bought the wrong ticket…lol…) …and they caught the first train…We have to wait for the next one:

That’s the one!



Once inside, the camera comes out. Anything I see from the lens is fair game, from the scenes inside the train, to the MANY scenes outside the train… LET’S GO!!

2B…………….or not 2B………….



NOT Woodstock…instead…Livestock!!



Mediacollege Amsterdam



One of the stops…not sure where…cool geometrics tho…



Cute little cabin in the woods…but too damn close to the train for me…



These are like the windmills we have in California…



Football! …or soccer…



Houseboats



…is this still considered graffiti?



IKEA!



Bicycle repair shop



Boat slips



I think this is Haarlem…or close to it…



Another nifty train station



The view reveals coastal lands



ZANDVOORT!



We make it, finally, and pile off the train and head to our first destination:

Coffeeshop La Paz



Full frontal…



A coffeeshop full of locals, they welcome our motley crew of foreigners and we sit in the lounge-y area. So far “we” are luvtick, Bonglord, Sellvegas, Dagger, JamesfromUK and Otis. We pass the time waiting for NIZZLE, Cisco, Twich, Kermit and the rest. Balou and Strawberry Soul decide to go shopping in Zandvoort…

The pool table is calling to James and Otis. They set up the balls, grab their cues and ~CRACK!~ they break and begin. The sound is so loud and piercing that Bong declares, “I thought my brain just rolled out of my head!” LMFAO!!! Lolololololololololololol…..

In the meantime, some Haze is purchased as well as some Silver. Now, if I remember correctly, those were the only 2 choices on the menu…The weed’s made ready for the bong and we all commence bong hits while waiting for the rest of the crew to arrive. The door opens once or twice and reveals people we don’t know. Finally, familiar faces arrive and more bong hits are shared. Photos are taken by everyone and Bong even poses at the giant hookah set up in the corner… NIZZLE tells us they stopped off in Haarlem before coming to Zandvoort…which WAS the original plan, if you read the “North Sea” link above…lol…then again, we ARE stoners too…lol…

Awww! Look at the dog!



This dog is HUGE!



Light on the table



When everyone has consumed their drinks and smoked some bong hits, we decide to head over to Yanks. Back on the street, the sound of camera shutters is as prevalent as the sound of our footsteps.

NO!



Porch in black and white



Porch close up…still in black and white



DATZ CHEEEEEEEEEZE!!!!



WE MADE IT!! Yay! Yanks!

Yanks Coffeeshop



…or Yanks Indian Club…



…this must be Yank…



The place is pretty dead and only a few people buy anything. Our mission is to get to the beach!!! So buy and fly is exactly what we do.

Flowers on the wall….



There we are…



Once we crest the small hill we are assaulted with the WIND. OMFG…it is SO WINDY…and we are in ZANDvoort… ZAND = SAND…and LOTS of it…in OUR EYES!!!!! ARGHHH!!!! Although it is overcast, we all scramble for our sunglasses to protect our eyes from the blowing sand.

Suddenly everyone’s eyes pop out of our heads, despite the sand…BECAUSE of the sand. You see, we are fortunate enough to see what is left of the “Zandvoort Sculptuur Festival.” …and the first one we see?

BOOBIES!!!!!!



LMFAO!! I’ve never seen so many people scramble for their cameras so fast…faster than grabbing their eye protection from the sand…lololol… I actually have a picture of everyone doing so, but too many faces in it…

Holy cow! …these sculptures are amazing! Just look:

…the whole world in his sand-hand…



a proper lady



I think he’s a magician…with an extraordinarily long arm…



Guitar player



Other side of the guitar player



…and that is what’s left of the Zandvoort Sculptuur Festival…



Jonathan?



Our path to the sea…



closest thing to a sunset…



the fence on the left



the fence on the right



barbed wire



Wow! Look at those rickety stairs!



…of course I have to get this shot of them:



here we all are…huddling together to light our Spoon-slathered joints!



Kite surfer!



Once I notice the kite surfers, I am off like a flash…pun intended…once at the water’s edge, I put the camera on burst. Others follow me and I get shots of everyone…I like these 2:

…at the water’s edge



Oh shit! Run! LOLOLOLOL!



Now back to the kite surfing. It is just so cool! I see windsurfers regularly, but not KITES!

he’s just waiting to get airborne!!



The kite



SUCCESS!



Bong makes his way down to the water and lights a joint…with a torch. He has also achieved success: smoking Spoon at the North Sea! As a matter of fact, we ALL did!!! Yay us!!!!

This is where I will end this one…it is so photo heavy, and there is a LOT LOT LOT more that happens today…be sure to stay tuned…

…and stay stoned…

Yay Iv not even read it , keeping it for later busy night . Good to see you posted
