Two full days.
Posted: Fri 12th Apr 2013 09:00 am
Left the flat at 0445 and cabbed it to the airport arriving at 0500, through security with the grumpy faced fucks annoying everyone and after a swift coffee took off promptly at 0600. An hour later I'm buying train tickets and walk out of Centraal Station with the commuters at 0840. 48 hr travelcard and I'm off to dump the bag at the hotel near Vondelpark. Having done that walk back to the Leidseplien and tram it up Marxinstraat to Rozengracht and amble down it to the small tobacconists just this side of Prinzengracht. Got him to put 1kg of rolling baccy to one side for collection tomorrow. Walk back up a bit, turn right and Paradox was just opening.
First things first, coffee, juice and the menu. 5e of Turkish, 0.6g. 5e of Kandy Kush, 0.4g. That's the bedtime smokes sorted out. 1g of Thai and roll it up pure to start the day. Always like the Thai here. Nice steady uplifting high, little body buzz, very smooth. Chilled for an hour to a Jazz radio station watching many locals buying and flying or stopping off to burn a quick one and get a coffee. Time for breakfast.
Wander down Prinzengracht arriving at that gem of a shop La Tertulia. Mother was in charge so two toasties a banana and orange smoothie and in keeping with the fruit theme 1g of Mango Haze, 12e. The Mango Haze was smooth tasting, well cured and produced a wrap around high. A new strain to me but it was a superb haze. Functional but high and stoney at the same time. Time to check in.
Back to the hotel. The Sipermann is now non-smoking after having a state of the art fire detection system installed. Bugger. Less of a bugger is the balcony on the room I have. Wey-Hey. Take a stroll through Vondelpark and burn the rest of the Mango Haze watching the wildlife and the fair Amsterdam maidens. The only downside was that with the easterly winds the heavy departures from Schiphol were routing directly over the park. Back to the Centrum.
Kadinsky, Buy and fly 1g of Sahara Blue hash. Utopia to buy and fly some Wappa for another member and bump into Stan. We share a coffee and look at the 10g+ bud of Wappa in the tub. A beauty. No spliff as I was longing for a beer with one. Bit early for tNes so over the road to HGF and some SSH 1g, 13e. Walk up towards Centraal and into The Flying Dutchman bar. Grab a beer and go downstairs to the smoking area. Nice and comfortable, plasma TV. Share the SSH with two Canadian lads. Not the best example but good to rest the feet and before too long the g has been burned. Another beer and the munchies set in. Tram to Dam.
Wander over towards Nes and dive into one of the steakhouses close to there. Too mashed to remember which one but a decent steak later it feels time to go back towards the hotel and CS Tweedy.
Notes are a bit like shorthand now, so I think I got a g of the house weed, price unknown and sit for a while pondering why Amsterdam's football team is named after a household cleaning powder. I then realise that it is close to the time that I will make a complete cock of myself by falling over or making improper suggestions to unassuming ladies so off to Overtoom and the stoners paradise. 24 hr shop. Gather a selection of snack food and fizzy pop and meander back to the hotel.
Up the single flight of precipice like stairs and settle down with the patio windows open and build up the Turkish. BBC News Channel on. It is a good clean quite intense high that has me thinking what a knob that North Korean baby faced twat is. Only 2100 but Sailor is flagging. Roll up the Kandy Kush and put the National Geographic channel on the TV. The Kush hits the spot within minutes and I wake up at 0030, finish the spliff, shut the window and climb into bed. Day two later.
