- Smoke that first cone at De Kuil (was my first shop ever)
Take a long walk through the Jordaan
Drink a Limonana at Amnesia
Do a DePijp Coffeeshop crawl (there are so many good ones to choose from)
Visit the Van Gogh Museum
Pick up hot chocolate powder from Puccini for the wife
Visit Grey Area and shop the menu. (If I'm lucky John is there and there's a stool free so I can smoke a few bong loads and chat)
Stroll through the Begijnhof
Visit at least one new coffeeshop each time (this time Utopia is definitely on my list)
Ride bikes through Vondelpark
Pick up a spacecake at Paradox for the flight home
Stock up on Stroopwafels
Walk the canals at night
...
Dream of what it would be like to live in this amazing city

As soon as we step off the train which is always 9am, we run as fast as we can so we can get to Rokerji 2 at the top of Singel so we can sit in the front watchin the world go by while smoking White shark bio, if they have it in.
Another must few coffeeshops are Abraxas, my first ever shop, Green Place for Trainwreck, Rusland, my personal fave for their super polm,Amnesia, so we can watch the prostitutes plying their trade and Amnesia haze and Softland for the biggest cups of tea in the whole world.
As for things to do the Torture museum across from the tulip market is just so sick its awsome, visit the Cuyp Market and take the traditional canal boat around the Dam.
We have spent some of our most special moments in the Dam, I personally would sell body parts to fund a trip to the dam, so if anyone needs anything let me know lol.
