Betty Boop , sack the new young dark haired bt , he's a total spunkbubble , what a tool , it's been quite a while since i've seen a 20 something have a tantrum & bang chairs around because we dared to ask for another round of drinks without all 7/8 of us again buying more weed aswell , we'd only been there around 30 mins if that .
Anyone I forgot , apologies , but I was fucking mangled for the week
Monday 09/04/12,
Quick trip to the airport & other than Easyjet making the last 15 odd people check there handluggage into the hold (for free) an uneventful flight
We were outside Voyagers for 09:00 ish but they were not open yet so onto HSB@M , grabbed some SSH which was ok & some Nepal Polm , which was just as nice as last year
Had our 1st smokes & chilled a while then headed over to the Old Quater to drop our bags .
Bags stowed , off to Betty Boop .
Nice surprise to find the bt from last year who left is doing a few weeks work there before he moves to England , Bournemouth in fact .
Grab their NYCD , it was very nice & had a very strong fuely taste the only effect missing was the lip numbness I usually get smoking Diesel strains .Also got the Caramello which was a fairly strong head buzz
Leaving Bettys we made a quick stop back at the hotel so T could grab his passport , grabbed a glass pipe in preparation for our nextstop , Anyday
I got Reserva X , Rootang ( holy shit , almost dribbled over it
Head out , cross over to Prisengracht & down pass the Pancake Bakery , where we decide , we'd rather just keep smoking so on to Paradox
In & grab a table , get E5 of the PPP & KD & E12 of the Finger Hash (should have got more) some cakes
Roll & smoke both the PPP, nice enough taste but weak & KD nice all over monging like last year , get some more before we move off , head back to the Old Quarter to check-in properly , get a few prezzies for wifey & our kids on the way .
Take the scenic route back cutting along the canals , smoking fuck knows what , get back to the hotel around 16:00 & Professor X is FUCKED
Check into our rooms , they have a twin downstairs at the back , lovely view across to Damrak , I have a fucking moutaineering mission ahead of me , room H9 on the other side of the road up 4 flights of fucking stairs , which I quickly learnt to take slow & steady
I meet T at HSB , Professor X has crashed , quick smoke in HSB then head over to Green Place , in&out grabbing the White OG , head straight up to Voyagers.
I get the PSB , G-13 & OG19 , T gets the cheese "bloody lovely mate".
All great smokes although PSB needed a slightly better flush ( picky fucker ft
Chill & smoke until 18:30 or so then ring Proff , no answer , head back to hotel to check on him, he wants more sleep
Me & T get some Wok to Go & hit 420 to eat & smoke , grab some of there Blueberry , which at the time I thought was crap but after the little bit I had last night
We then pass by El Guapo , a mini MY , heavy not to friendly atmos imo , grabbed a g of Blueberry & headed over to Utopia .
Utopia is very cool , lovely place to chill out , good menu , Bubba was excellent
Meet & have a quick chat with Nel, alright mate
Chill out amoking for an hour or so , phone rings , Professor X is up & on his way
Once he arrive we head over to Siberie , grab the Fantasia , & head straight out & up to Dampkring .
Get the Riffman Sunrise & settle infront of the tv screens with a hot chocolate & a smoke , lovely
Leave Dampkring & head back to Centrum , T goes back to the hotel to crash & Proff X & I go over to Solo .
Get the Twizzla smells lovely & Afghan/Mazar I shariff (sp) extremely soft , very tasty smoke .
Also get some of 1 of the outdoor strains , wasn't the Viking but the other 1 , can't remember the name (that whole mangled thing again
Stayed at Solo smoking until it shut , 00:00 I think , then went for a smoking walk
Tuesday 10/04/12
Wake to my phone at 08:00 up bang my head on that fucking beam , swear , roll & am downstairs ready for 08:30 , Proff X is heading to the Keukenhoff(sp) Gardens & me & T are going for Barneys breakfast .
Yes it's overpriced for what you get but fuck it , never done it before & it's brekkie with a spliff , lovely
Buy & fly from Greenhouse , Mexican Sativa Hash , looks smells great
Quick stop at the hotel & then straight into HSB for a smoke & coffee , sitting there chatting & this comes on full blast " Nellie the Elephant "& I very nearly burst into tears silly sod ft
*** my nan has full alzhiemer's & is in a care home with 24hr care , I love my nan very much & had visited her on the sat(7th) before this trip , she LOVED elephants & this was 1 of her favourite songs
Pulling myself together we head over to Blues Brothers to check out the Sticky Fingers someone on here wrote about , ** I forget who you are , let me know , great shout , fucking lovely smoke
Chilled out downstairs in Blues Brothers for quite a while before walking about looking for toys/sweets for T's kids .
Get up to Voyagers for 14:00 ish , grab more OG that's me fucked up & PSB & settle in to wait for Proff X to return & for the 15:00 T&T with Trad & Chains
Can't remember who else was there but Proff arrives just before Trad & Chains , hellos sorted & trad looks a bit stressed , they can't stay as Chains has forgotten her passport
De Klos Ribs , fucking yummy yummy
Bellys full , we head in & out of Happy Feelings & on to Best Friends II , nice little basement shop , used to be Extreme , buzzed in smoking room @ the back , menu was stuck to the counter but the friendly bt gave me a spare copy to use to get a better shot
I got the THC tube , yes fucking please , I got online to put a thread up about it I liked it so much
Head back up to Utopia , get more Bubba & smoke Voyagers G-13 with the THC dust fucking floors me
HHHHMMMMMMM never laughed in a bt's face before but while I wasn't expecting real psycosis this shit wasn't even cheese , it smelt like a very weak Amnesia , we turned & walked.
T's back was killing him by now so he went for a rest while the Proff & me went over to Paradox with no idea what time they shut , 21:20 is to late
Seeing as we were close we then went to 1e Hulp , got some Angel Dust , very nice & some of there Buddha Cheese (HGF take note & change your supplier) which was excellent
Chilled & had a game of pool then headed back to Best Friends II to see if they had restocked the THC Tubes which they never did .
Went over to the Nes but it was 00:00 by now & there was no-one in I knew so we over to Greenhse Centrum which was packed so we took a chance & went in next door to City Hall , which we'd never been in .
Got a 2g bag of Brain Damage , looked & smelt ok ( knew i'd had it before but the state I was in I couldn't place it , turned out to be powerplant
Smoke back at Proff/T 's room then leave them to crash , smoke a j outside then head up to my room
Wednesday 11/04/12
04:00 still up smoking , I went a little bit nuts this trip , spent more money than my previous 2 trips combined
Headed out on my own around 06:00 , yes I banged my fucking head again , twice , hurt like fuck ,to get a few early morning pic's
08:00 get a txt from Proff , still in bed but about to get ready so I head down to the post office on Singel (yes the little office is still there
*** notes are a bit fucked here , i've written , back to peter's ?, proff ready , out for brekkie , I shower, we go but no kief , their work turning off , BB 3v0 L'pool ? ***
Up to Voyagers , still closed , head to the station , straight onto the train & off to Haarlem
Both stoned & tired so we get off the stop before by mistake , fuck it , wait for the next 1 & we are there soon enough , straight out & into WW Sativa but were really not impressed by the place so we head straight out looking for a smart shop for proff , never did get anything,
Get lost , find Empire anyway lol, grab their special & head straight out to High Times , grab some of their ICE , chill a while , smoke & a coffee .
Onto WW Indica , can't remember what I got but it's a nice place to chill which we did
Headed out to Birdy & got very lost lol, went right when I should have led left & we found it eventually , just took fucking ages .
Once there grab some Jelly Hash & go through to smoke , chill a long while smoking the Jelly , which is a lovely strong fill your lungs smoke
*** Haarlem , 1st trip for both of us & we really enjoyed it , we've agreed that when we have another trip together we will spend the whole day there rather than a quick crawl .***
Back to the station , back to Dam , meet T at the hotel & all head over to Paradox for a long chill & smoke before heading back past the hotel so they can grab there bags & then carry on up to Voyagers for their last smokes , where I plan to get them totally wrecked before their journey home
Sit & smoke in Voyagers with them until they leave wasted at 18:00
Stand at the bar chatting with DC between him destroying everyone game after game on the pool table , gives me a bud to roll up , " Amnesia , use it all , smoke it yourself " cheers mate
Doing as i'm told i'm very stoned very quickly , the stuff was lethal , completely fucked me up , which gave DC a laugh , I had to go I was done for the night , goodbye said I shuffled off to my room & crashed out

There's about 8 of us in Betty's , all brought drinks , think we all brought smoke of some kind , chilling upstairs , after 30 mins or so , Gapie goes down for a round of drinks , comes back up and tells us the bt has said if we want more drinks we have to buy more weed , WTF !!!
Never been told that in Betty's before , decision is made to just move on early to 420 for FBN's b-day T&T .
I take a quick walk down to Best Friends II with DRA , i'm still after more THC Tubes
Head back over to 420 , re-meet FBN & Hestia & meet Winnie

Stay up smoking until 5/6 then crash but wake to my alarm at 07:00 & force myself up, absolutely wrecked i hit my head that hard I had to take a knee for a minute or 2 , that seriously fucking hurt , out & on the tram , get down to 1e Hulp just after they open at 07:30 , after a check , grab 2.5 of Amnesia Haze & Buddha Cheese .
Roll the Am up & walk back to the tram stop smoking , finish my J back in Dam Square , up to hotel for brekkie then over to HSB@M , stand outside & roll & start to smoke a Hulp cheese J while the bt opens up , wander in to have a look at the menu , forget i'm puffing away " can't smoke that at the counter my friend , no stress just please take it outside" , no worries , the J gets me that wrecked though I wander off without going back in lol
Decide Hulp's cheese is very nice & I want some more so I go get some
Get on the tram back & my 24hr card has run out ;-( ask for a ticket to Dam Square but the conductor just says "don't worry , sit down , it doesn't matter"
Back at the square , grab some cakes for the kids & head back to the hotel to pack whats not packed & check out by 11:00 , leave my bags & head over to Utopia , chill &smoke , Paradox chill & smoke , Solo , chill & smoke .

Left at 19:00 absolutely wrecked , got to the station at 19:05 , took me until 19:50 to get on a train , almost went into meltdown lol
