This had been billed as the trip of all trips to amsterdam for me, id be going with my two favorite people to smoke with, i cant tell you how long id been looking forward to it, it all starts at 12am, bags packed, smoking materials in tow, at this point i was on the brink of passing out from exhaustion, the usual amsterdam ritual of no sleep the day before was getting to me at this point, so to my horror my mate turns to me and says lets get a last minute smoke before we get the train in to london at 5am, i looked at him with a mixed look of both disgust and glee, i simply said "can you not wait 18 hours", while saying this i realized i myself cant wait 18 hours, im glad we had got that last bag, it made me appreciate my trip more being that the weed we got was wet uncured badly trimmed cheese
It had been my first trip in over a year so you can imagine i was anticipating this trip with that of a 5 year old going to disney land the day before christmas, this was my 7th time to the dam and my excitement never seems to have a cap on it, so me and one friend proceed to set off, destination: victoria coach station london for our hellish 11 hour coach journey
First time traveling by coach and i can say with such confidence that it will be my last, we would be meeting my other friend out there cause he was flying out later in the day (lucky bastard), we decided that we would just meet each other in voyagers since we would arrive roughly at the same time.
Fast forward 11 hours (by this time it was 9pm local time) and we arrive in the greatest place on earth, i step off the coach, take in that sweet dutch air and light what will be my last cigarette for 3 days
After stumbling from the central station towards voyagers and my friend nearly being hit by 2 trams already we were here, as we approach the door i see two familiar faces, sitting and await our arrival, sat down with weed galore, we walk in to be greeted by "oi you pricks, where have you been, im on my 2nd gram already", my friend was already sitting there looking as glazed as krispy kremes, so after we sort out the hotel booking with HB i wasted no time in grabbing that sweet sweet menu, i had known what i was getting before i even walked in the shop, let the weed reviewing begin! (I lost the SD Card to my phone so unfortunate all the pics of bud and menus i had are now non existant
Since i dont have pictures anymore i cant detail what i smoked day to day but i have a fair idea of what i smoked overall so i will cut the long story short and review each thing i had (well what i remember having
Since we arrived late, there was no time to waste and i wasn't messing about, a quick sit down for a quick smoke of PSB

As you can imagine i woke up feeling hazed, dazed and confused, nothing a shower and a quick breakfast wont sort out then its back down to voyagers, tweedledum and tweedledee were still sleeping when i came out the shower so i woke them up, went out, got food and started wake n baking by myself downstairs waiting for them to stumble downstairs to join me
I went for the Pink Sour Grapefruit, Gram PLEASE
sat down with smokey the cat and proceeded to get lifted, i remember this batch being even more impressive than the night before, it lacked a bit in high but more than made up for it in taste and that is mostly what i look for
after what was a lovely gram spliff and strawberry looza, my idiot friends stumble in to the shop and we proceed to buy our days smokes, we have a system in which we all chip in x amount of money and buy a shit load of weed

Now due to the fact that i did lose my sd card and thus all my pictures, in typical stoner fashion my friends didn't bother taking pictures, they left that duty solely to me, i compiled the list above on the basis of 3 pictures and my autistic like memory and input from my friends so everything on day 3 was a blurrrr in which i don't remember everything, just a few strains here and there like the apple jack from abraxas and hawaiian haze from somewhere along with others, both were very average, 7/10's at best, but what i do remember is we tended to circulate round the same coffeeshops and purchase the same strains cause by this point we knew what we liked and continued to buy those particular stains, the one thing i do remember is the final day, having to catch the coach at 9am and my friend having his flight at 10am we all left voyagers after scrambling around making sure we had all of our belongings with us, so we set off to the only place to be at 7am in amsterdam, Central coffeeshop, we had roughly 60-70 empty bags in total laid out on the table, im not even gonna bother reviewing the silver haze and sour diesel were proceded to put in to one long paper rip, id be wasting your time with the generic bland taste of unflushed poor grown commercial weed, 4/10's at best granted the silver haze was slighty better, the only problem was, being the stoners that we are, we got to the coffeeshop at approximately 7.30am and we were supposed to be at our coach park at 8.30am, let the race begin, put 2 grams in to one big spliff and chugged on it half in the shop and made our way up to the station with the rest of it, by this time it was roughly 8.15am, we had 15 mins to get to the coach park, luckily we made it justtt in time to enjoy a spacecake or 2 from Paradox and boarded our coach with a feeling of being deflated, exhausted & depressed to be leaving the greatest place on earth, the same cant be said for my friend who had to race to the airport to catch his flight when his check in desk closed at 9am, long story short, he missed his plane and rebooked for the next day then proceeded to miss that flight then flew out later that night, lucky bugger had an extra 2 days in paradise
I can't complain though, i took full advantage of returning by coach, i brought back 1g OG 18, 1g Pink Sour Grapefruit, 1g Purple Strawberry Bliss, 1g Pineapple Kush & a lovely american couple gave me what appeared to be more than a gram of what smelled like some sort of lemony keif, life aint bad eh but life took a turn for the worse when i got home and received a text from my friend stuck in dam saying "VOYAGERS...STRAWBERRY SOUR DIESEL BITCHHHHH", they waited till the day i left till they released it, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
