Outline first, details to follow

Neither sun nor showers, really. Turkish (0.6g €5); but you have to sample more at that price, don't you? Budtender said Afghan (0.3g €5) was the best Afghan he'd seen for a while. He may well be right.

In Katsu now: Tblisa, €10 a g. Resisting temptation to try Somari. I have too much green already. But I've never had it, and 0.8g for €10 isn't exactly stocking up, is it? Decisions, decisions.

Resisted. Afghan Pollem (€10), classed under black, though it's not, & Tblisa (€9) at de Graal. And a place to charge my lifeblood of a phone. I didn't think this one through.

It was my New Shop this trip: I'd looked in at least once but never bought. I'd be quite happy to use it as my local, but see no reason to go out of my way to get there.

Last evening's plan was to cycle to Central & work back, but by Rembrandtplein decided sharing dark streets with increasingly erratic traffic wasn't that much fun any more. Bought 3.3g Manaly for €25 at Old Amsterdam, another never-patronised shop. I was going to say average, but it's growing on me, or is that just my last post-midnight mood? Then back to de Pijp and de Graal for Gardella, €8, fine if unmemorable, but yesterday was a long day.

Thanks for sharing your holiday experiences, not to mention providing updated info on the various gear that's available at the moment.
I was in town yesterday and the weather was spot on perfect - warm, slightly breezy, and mostly sunny. Hopefully you were able to get in a nice ride...
If you fancy a more localized cycling experience, you could always follow my route around the major parks of Greater Amsterdam...
Westerpark to Erasmus to Rembrandt to Vogel to Beatrix to Amstelveen to Martin Luther King Jr to Frankendael to Flevo to Ooster to Wertheim.. and Voyagers as the final stop.
Enjoy the beauty of The Netherlands..
Happy Doing Dutch...

Damn, I still left something out. On Wednesday I bought some Moroccan from D&L, but because it was a buy and fly, didn't record it at the time, and now I can't remember what it was or what I paid. However, I did get the privilege of meeting the most laid-back cat in Mokum:

And I've also just remembered that I looked in at Club Media one evening, on my way to de Graal. Did I buy anything? I think I did, and if so, I suspect it was a gram of something Moroccan, by the logic that it was sensible to gather the roses while I might; that's 'roses' in its lesser-known meaning of decent hash below €10 a g. But your guess is as good as mine here.
