Scheveningen Beach, Den Haag. Oct/Nov 2011 Video trip report

Thinking we could go away somewhere hot the wife and I booked our leave from work and decided to book a beach holiday on the Saturday and fly on the following day. This however wasn't going to be the case this time. There was nothing available... PANIC!!!

After being firmly told that Amsterdam is for me and the boys and not somewhere the wife wanted to go I started looking at beaches in Holland :mrgreen:

Slowly coming round to the idea of somewhere new in Holland to go.... Scheveningen on the outskirts of Den Haag was chosen and hotel Noordzee booked.. Yay...

A quick stop in Amsterdam for the sole purpose of stocking up a little from Voyagers and we are ready to make the trek to our digs for the next couple of nights.

Quick note about Voyagers.. I was here in April and the place had some great buds and hash but was in need of a tarting up. Well.... Its now November and what a change. It looks a lot better, nice and inviting, comfy seating area, an assortment of bongs, Volcano ready to use, kittens on string and a fab new coffee machine. Grabbed a gram of the Amnesia/Chocolope lucky dip and Lemon haze. The Am/Ch lucky dip was a tasty choice. I got another gram before we left.

I was going to do a nice big trip report but as its not really Amsterdam related after this point I decided to go with loads of photos on a Dropbox slideshow for you all to have a look at if you so wished. It's only six minutes long....... So light up some herb .... crank up the volume ...... click to full screen... sit back .... wait for it to buffer and enjoy.



Spent ages trying to work out how to get the vid embedded to play within this post but I just don't seem to get it. Works great on a little forum I installed to test it. EDIT Done... Thanks to Speedy
We had a great time and the wife was so happy that we picked somewhere cool to visit. I was also happy that I got a little trip to Voyagers in and smoked up most of the time we were in Scheveningen with my bestest girl in the world. :D

If anyone has any trouble playing it, let me know and I'll convert it to a different format. :D

Great photos and nice presentation, Hull!! In my visits to Netherlands (only 4 times) I am yet to get to the seashore. I have seen some of Den Haag, but only at night from a van on the way to a club to see some friends play music. I hope you and your lady had lots of fun!

Peace!

Cheers woodz,

First time i've played with a slideshow in Windows movie maker and its the first time in many years of going to Amsterdam that I finally made it to the beach.

And we loved it....

The mrs doesn't partake so it was great she enjoyed it so much being straight. Especially being so dubious about going to start with.. and the upset of not going to Portugal or Fuertuventura...

Its great she wants to go again to another Dutch beach area .... Bonus for me on the Mary Jane side too. :mrgreen:

Get on a train and see where it takes you... lol

The easiest beach to reach may well be Zandvoort. It's a twenty (20) minute train ride from Amsterdam's Centraal Station and you can stop at Haarlem on the way and visit Birdy or Willie Wortel. While in Zandvoort, you can stop at Coffeeshop La Paz which is close to the beach.
