I thought this so I asked John last time I was there and he said they were open on Sunday, and they were, so it's worth a look!

DAY1..

Decide not to go to bed, i would of thought of Amsterdam and just starred at the ceiling for about 5 hours. so i decide to just stay awake, how hard can it be (Really??) brought a jar of my LSD over and got about 5 grams of bubble hash and 3 grams of full melt. i lost the plot abit, but alarm brought me back round to normallity get to Margate station at 4:10.

train isnt due for 47 mins so wait and smoke last joint. at 5 am no train , nothing up on the schedule so ask guard wheres the 5am train to london st pancras?? he laughs at me and says theres no train. the train i end up getting comes at 5:47, i was cutting it pretty close with check in already and this will give me 20 mins to get from platform to eurostar terminal (and i have no bloody idea where that is). so im running about st pancras with my luggage swinging about everywhere shouting eurostar at anyone who will look my way. i cant find it anywhere??? someone i shouted at points up to one corner where there is a massive Eurostar logo. manage to get to train with about 5 mins to spare, show guard my ticket and he says AHHH! your trains gone already (the train im standing next to has the same train number and time as my ticket says, but the guard says NO! go back to check in desk (who said my train had not left yet) looking pretty stupid doing a mad dash back to check in desk when guard calls out to get on train (WhataWanker!!). with eurostar you have a coach and seat number you must follow. when i get to right coach all luaggage space is taken and when i get to my seat theres someone sitting there and his ticket matches mine so i walk on 3 coaches every seat has been taken, when i get to second half of train its basically empty (why why do they pack you all in together then?) also the trains look nice on the outside but are pretty damn awefull on the inside. woman on tanoy system says we will be arriving in the next mins to brussels midi and the platform needed is No.5, if im quick enough i might just make it or have to wait for a few hours. so off the train i can see platform 5, thank you thank you. i just make it and notice the sign doesnt say amsterdam, ask the train guard whos very helpfull and im on the wrong bloody platform. i need platform 5 Thalys!! (WTF) so once again im Running around like a headless chicken and shouting Thalys!! Thalys!! a Policeman grabs me and turns me back the way i came from, by this point my bags are just all over the place got this wierd mental looking run going on as im getting knackered and everyone seems to be looking at me, and my bum cheeks are a flapping big time.. i finally get to the platform 10 mins late totally gutted, smoke a ciggarette to calm down and notice the train was delayed and will be here here soon. these trains are much nicer plugs for everyone free wifi and lovely comfy chairs, with the added bonus of sitting where you want.
we go through Roterdam, which looks a bit of a dump from the train. FINALLY we arrive in Amsterdam.

leave central station and head towards old quarter to check in, laura says im in room H9 (building opposite hotel) brother stayed in H7 awhile ago so pop over the road, and start the long hard climb. i reach the top eventually look up and ive got 1 more bloody flight of stairs to go (im right at the bloody top) Room H9 Old Quarter.60 euros a night. as you open the door your suprised to see a giant beam right in the middle of the room with about a hundred bits of wood sticking out at wierd angles??


ive been in some shitty places but beam in the midle of room is a new one on me. so the window, sorry the shitty small plastic thing in the roof with some of the shittiest views ive seen in my life, and theres another window, sorry the hole in the wall with a bit of wood covering it. this has even worse views if that can be believed, if you pop your head out (which felt a bit dangerous) you got to see the pavement.

open my bags and just start chucking my shit everywhere, so im gonna pop into Utopia first (not read a trip report in a year) it has helped me i have no stupid lists of coffeeshops and im not going to bulk buy this trip (sorry if that was what you wanted), so just as im about to step into Utopia i jump on tram 9 to albertcuyp straat. im not going to visit loads and im not going to buy but wanna get some nice hash from de graal and club media..


De Graal.. 1 grams Gardela..rich,deep,strong fresh

1 grams white choco (dealer choice)..fizzy,sweet,lemon

2 grams cheese pungent,best cheese i got, but still not special

walk round the corner and 7 women all want my money i wasnt expecting it and was a bit too close to the doors(if you like prositutes with big boobs then, pop down to Kabouter, Warning they wont take no for an answer and you might have to run away ..

Kabouter.. 1 gram Amnesia (Dealer Choice)..a bit of zing but crap, looked nice though

3 grams Kabouter (9 euros a gram) .. great taste nice high, very happy with purchase

walk along then up to club media for Zooltjes then back to Utopia..


Club media.. 1 gram Zooltjes.. really fresh, fantastic taste, lovely high

1 gram motivation (dealer choice).. slight strawberry great smell, not best high

3 grams Skunk #1.. muted smell,musky and off putting smell, shit

need to head back to tram stop but decide to have a walk down the market, as markets go its not the best but if your lucky you can go to Wally's Waffles.

i went for cherry and white chocolate (best combo ive had yet) i sit dowwn and eat well i say eat , but it was more about covering myself in chocolate & cherry it went everywhere, so now get the tram back to Dam.
Katsu.. 20 euros BigBuddaCheese.. looks,smells great, but was pants needed flush no real high

20 euros OG #18.. same as bbc, what a bloody let down, found 6 seeds

run past mellow yellow then think ok


Mellow Yellow.. Cheese.. shit shit shit shit shit shit shit, its shit. they stopped the 5s haze 5 g for 50 euros

now go round the corner to Azarius, need a cheap glass Bong arrive and shops 90% empty beautiful lady says shops being remodelled so most of stock isnt there. there are 3 glass bongs
40 eros 15 euros and one she cant find price for, but thats the one i want she says we can settle on a price though. get it for 20 euros.

she said shop wont be ready for a few months.
im nearly at spui to walk back up to Utopiai stop near HGF for a roll up and ponder why cant i just go to a coffeeshop and smoke, why do i find the need to always bulk buy what ever the reason is i dont know. im covered in sweat after my go to de pijp and get some hash/mini bulk buy and get a Bong run.

make it to Coffeeshop Utopia my original destination (took about 90 mins) and i havent smashed the glass bong either. im covered in dried white chocolate and cherries so i go and get changed drop off all my crap and put the teabags and buttercup cough syrup in my bag
Utopia..

give Nel the teabags and cough syrup. hes happy and offers free teas round the shop and hugs the cough syrup and gives me a free gram of
Bubba Kush.. deep beefy coffee smell, very sticky and resinous (looks like king kong) lovely buds

1 pure joint.. first joint pretty Chunky 2 tokes im stoned,off my face by end
nice coffee, not a mug but not too far off and free, after all my running im coughing my head off like a little girl. got 20 mins before toke & talk at voyagers, but im knackered the joints done a number on me sleep or meet i skin up a few joints and head down to voyagers.

Voyagers.. Purple Strawberry Bliss.. no bud just looks like shake (was off it but woman mentioned something about it ) so its part my blame, but if you rate bud on looks this has to be at the most a Big 0 smell was sweet lemon slight zing sweet exhale. the looks put me right off it not a great high..

turn round theres Ft,Trad,Hestia,Keychains, BigGuy,Ben,Marco and of course gapie (if there were more i have no idea, i could hardly keep my eayes open sit next to Trad and Ft i mention ive got this shitty room with a beam in the middle and Ft laughs and says that was my room you gonna hit your head alot. i myself dont think so im 6ft 3 and this room doesnt suit me in any way, but i dont think ill hit my head once, ill just be careful(just how hard is it not to hit a massive bit of wood??)
give trad some Margate Rock and hand stan a t shirt i made.

Ft says hes goodbyes, and then chat to Marco alittle hes off soon as well, but gives me
Utopia.. Temple Ball.. was so tired when i bonged this, got me very stoned and put me in a dreamy state.Thanks for that Marco!

marcos gone now and talking where to next? i need to get back to my room and tidy up, take notes and pictures and get some of that sleep ive been craving for.back at room and i did a number on it my stuff is everywhere, about 2 hours later its all clean and im ready to go to bed, but need a smoke first

so put my kettle on for a nice hot chocolate get up then(wooden beams 1 stuart 0) for about 5 mins all i was doing was rebounding from one beam to another (i would of laughed, but got a bit annoying



finish it off after about 10 mins got a lovely hashy taste in my mouth and a loud humming in my head and sleep..
Happy 420 everyone.

[spidergawd]

Brilliant

walk round the corner and 7 women all want my money i wasnt expecting it and was a bit too close to the doors(if you like prositutes with big boobs then, pop down to Kabouter, Warning they wont take no for an answer and you might have to run away ..

How far did you run ?

[Colino]

Great work Stu,this is a great report! thanks for the effort. And you also smoked a load!!!!

[Bob2]

Well i would'nt call it running spider. but a few miles..
i smoked alot but its only a fraction of other trips, things just seemed to get trippy when you add a Bong into the mix and of course GOOD HASH..

[AzLaker]

stuart1976, always a nice write up, with super pictures. One of these days our paths will cross. Party on.

Day 2..

so i have a problem, went straight to sleep after a couple of bongs and a couple of joints. with so much to try i put the alarm for 3 am. i wake up feeling stoned and shitty (always bring lockets with me) i tend to get a blocked nose first night? but lockets always sort me out. get up to put ketlle on and wooden beam 20 ish stuart 0. i decide to be very careful, wooden bean 21 stuart 0 got to make up pure joints for the day and save a bit for a bong + comp joint + vap bag for nes

think i had 7, shouldnt of bonged inbetween joints (i had to use it i payed 20 euros for it).getting my stuff together ready for the day. have a shity shower after waking up in my chair at 10am. wake and bake with kabouter then gardela. pop down to Metropolitan Deli near the bottom of Warmoesstraat for Poffertjes. then to central station. get the 2a from central station to haarlem

(easy as if you havent done it before). Haarlem station alone is a beautiful place, the weather is lovely for now so im a little early pop into.






WW Sativa.. bit of a dump to be honest



1gran Amnesia.. nothing special. finish off joint opposite station then walk to meet FBN. its pretty clear no one else is gonna come. there are buses but no trams there are bikes, but nothing compared to dam,


so we walk through the station and see the first house with a garden all the way round


. a nice park, and just round the corner to birdys. its clear FBN loves Haarlem, its a shame ive never stayed here myself, but i like having lots of choices.
Birdys.. lovely shop, staff bit lazy or stoned

1 gram NL.. nice smoke (my notes dont make much sense) but for birdys thumbs up

1 gram bbc.. a nice cheese, nice smell, taste, medium high


3 bags of jelly.. i do think this is the best deal your get, if you buy 10 euros worth your be gutted you didnt buy more (best looking under my microscope) loved it
1 gram amnesia FBN looked lovely under microscope. had our toke and talk and i do needd to get back soon for my t&t. FBN takes me back to station and we part ways. pop back to room and roll, got about 9 joints( for me i like to have at least 1/2 oz rolled up at least, you never know it could be really good).
UTOPIA.. i arrive about 90 mins earlly, first visit i was knackered, tired and a little bit manic.but today im rested, and not a thing to do but smoke. as i go to walk in its packed every seat is taken (shit). so i sit close by and smoke a joint (alot can change in 10 mins) by the time im finished Utopia is now empty (woohoo).
im at the door and i hear Ingi say hello stuart. i get to the counter and wish Ingi a happy birthday, for someone that had to work on a birthday shes still got the biggest smile ive seen in years
1 gram Amnesia (dealer choice).. she described it perfectly and you could see she really liked it.. notes say it smelled like tizer easily the best amnesia this trip.

1 gram Honey Haze.. notes say love it about 10 times (if this was a woman i would marry her) i want strongest bud possible all the time, but this has changed me. lovely sweet taste inhale and 100% honey taste on exhale, just love it (FAVOURITE SMOKE ALL TRIP).

BONUS

as i sit down Ingi brings me a coffee, i go to give money and she gives me a horrified look. for the next hour i just smoked my pre rolled joints. at certain times i did feel thirsty, and without dout Ingi had just left me another one. i brought nel a couple of things, but unfortuntelly nothing for ingi and the service im getting is above and beyond the call of duty. so ive been starring at my feet for a while now then i hear nel in the distance laughing and i come to, its nearly time for my t&t the question is will i be sitting all on my own?? say hi to nel who is in a right jolly mood today
and trad and tallguy pop in followed by hestia then gapie (was there anymore?) right so with this t&t for those that didnt turn up thats fine, but for those that turned up and pointed at us and walked away shame on you, i noticed it happen 3 times. hestia gets the honey haze not sure about others but we are all getting nicely stoned, then notice Nel is setting someting up near the counter. 20 mins later gives us the all clear to use and hes grinded aload to go in already.

all in all i loved it, but no one was 100% sure how to get peek preformance on first day. i imagine that has changed now.i remember us being all really stoned then next thing im walking to hotel? all i know is im tired, and i want to catch up on some sleep as i go in front door of hotel and someone shouts out start1976.. i turn and this bloke has white glasses(which i remember somewhere on here). hes mate is out of it or something and as hes going in the morning can we go somewhere so i can give you my smokes? ok . i drop off my bag and he wants to go to dampkring which is a bit far, end up at 420, he buys drinks (thanks for that) and gives me 5 bags (woohoo) after a joint im off it as normal and he goes (i can get wierd)

and i head back for diner, mini sleep, and sort out for nes tomorrow.
i made loads of notes that dont really make much sense but rolled up about 17 joints chuncky for lemming and super chunky for trip report prize.

lots of bongs, lots of joints,lots of banging my head.

??? is Jelly (doh)

[geekymonkey]
