12th and 13th September

Post by Spaldwickapeface »

When you find that you have two weeks off before your promotion in September, that return flights to Amsterdam from Southend Airport are only £40 each and a night in the Hotel Quentin is only £30 each, then you kind of have to get your ass over the north sea and you may as well pay for your unemployed mate to come aswell.

So we have two days to fill humm how to do it, well I have a few ideas.

Drop the bags off at the hotel cross the road and straight in to Barney's for a buy and fly (I do not like the shop but I do like the product, that's a story for a diffrent topic I guess) so La Grotte is the place for a breakfast and the first smoke of the trip. Then let's score the hire bikes and do another buy and fly this time at voygers before we head over to Het Ballonnetje so I can get my hands on some of that buetiful NL ice, we will take the scenic route as matey has not been to fairest Amsterdam before, let's pray for the sunshine. Then off towards the museumplein, I guess it would be rude not to go via the Albert Cuyp Market and a quick rest up at De Graal, sounds a real hardship I am sure you will agree.

I am well aware that Kashmir lounge is probably the best place to hang out in the early evening a cold beer or two and a few up lifting sativas we have picked up along the way. What are we thinking Champaign Haze from Utopia, see what the Grey Area has to offer and a stop off at 1e Hulp for some tangerine dream, hum sounds like a plan to me. So once we are well and truly ready it would not be a night in Amsterdam without a quick 'dirty' walk around the RLD right :-)

Then start over the next morning another La Grotte breakfast when we roll out of bed. I would like to visit both the Bluebird and Paradox again so thank god for the higher bikes allowing us to buzz around the city at will. Sure the evening flight home will be hanging over us but you have to make the most of your time in Dam.

Two weeks today!!!

Sounds like a great plan... never had the La Grotte breakfast, is it an Irish fry?

It's a great place to eat in an extremely convenient location. They do a large range of food including a cooked breakfast, but I tend to opt for the Croissant option or a cheese toasty if it's later in the day. You should try it out
