Axeman solo trip feb 3rd - 5th Part 2
Posted: Fri 16th Feb 2007 03:23 pm
I awoke to find half a spliff in the ashtray. One of my favourite things! lied in bed watching the News and smoked it down. Got up for the traditional Amsterdam breakfast - Cheese with holes in it, some spicey ham and a couple of boiled eggs. Although the UK is part of Europe we dont eat ham and cheese for brekkie. It is bizarre.
I thought i'd have a look at my stash before i ventured out. I reckon i smoked the best part of half oz on the first day, (14g). Good.
Another Beautiful day in Amsterdam. Lots of sunshine and not a cloud in the sky.
Bluebird c/shop - After the cheese i smoked on Saturday i just had to get some more. Also picked up 1.5g Starwarz. cant remember the Starwarz really, only that it smelt good.
Nes - Went in here with all intentions if signing the book. But, yup, you got it..... I FORGOT! picked up 2g Trip Haze - 9e per g. When the guy opened the tub i got a right good whiff of some rather potent herb. BUT when i smoked it it smelt and tasted rather plain if you know what i mean. Maybe i was expecting that traditional Hazey flavour but it wasnt there. It was a good smoke, just not what i expected.
Grey Area - Again!! "Morning John" i said. "you want a coffee?,... on the house?" he replied. "Yup!, Why Not?". You should have seen his face when i only wanted 1g Grey Berry - 8.5 per g and 1g Yellow cab. "taking it easy today are you?" - Taking it easy? Moi? in Amsterdam!!??. Nah mate, just already got shit loads.
The grey Berry has a real good taste, very fruity. quite a heavy hitter me thinks too. The yellow cab was reasonable. lots of crystals. nice relaxing smoke.
When i left the Grey Area i was confused!! there is a kind of square just before you get to the GA. Anyway i think a pick-pocketer had just done a "job" and was sprinting like Ben Johnson on steroids towards me. i did a 360. then as he ran past he was emptying the wallet of its contents all over the place. I dont think he realised he was actually throwing away money!! I picked 75 euros up from the ground and shuffled away down some side streets in case somebody tried to follow me. Not that i would have been much use down an alleyway on my own, very stoned sniggering to myself!!
. I guess it made up for some of the 1000 euros my mates lost in November. (mentioned in Nov Report)
I thought i'd go and spend my free funds on some Barney Rubble!!
Barneys - "do you have any rubble left please?"........ the usual answer i get cropped up again. "we've just sold out!!" Fucking Hell!! EVERY time i go in here for rubble he says the same ol' shit. I looked at what else was on the menu. EXPENSIVE! thats all i can say. decided not to buy anything. Beginning to hate this rip-off shop. Walked out a bit miffed, not far though. just 50 yards to.......
Pink Floyds - One of my favourite shops in the city. Good place to get a quick snack like a cheese toastie or a hot-dog or something. Reasonably priced too, around 2.50e. Went to look at what they had on the menu, decided to go for just 1g Buddhas Sister. I admit, im beginning to lose my touch for buying Bulk!! The B Sister was not the same as ive tried before - namely Dampkrings. It was VERY dry indeed. to the point where if you crushed it up between your fingers it just went to dust. A bit harsh on the ol' throat. Not very fruity, Good buzz though.
As i walked to Pink Floyds i walked past the new Greenhouse c/shop. It looked ok inside but it was totally empty. I didnt venture in.
Went back to the hotel to get some kip (sleep). I had a big night ahead. It was Superbowl sunday!! Was i bit cheesed of that the New Orleans Saints were not there. I had a rather large bet on them early in the season. and stood to win £1400 if they won it. but they werent even in the final. so it was all a bit academic really.
At 9pm i thought i'd go for a trot round the Red light Area. Intersting as ever! ended up at the Coin on Warmostraat. got 1g MK Ultra - 13euros per g to see what all the fuss was about. I wasnt to be dissappointed. It hits hard, very hard. struggled to find something of interest to say to the guy i was speakiong to. Just kept coming out with irreverent things, i think i did his head in.
Popped by a couple of other C/shops around the area.namely Stones cafe, Sheeba again and coffeeshop 36. didnt buy any smoke in either, but neither shops minded me buying drinks and smoking my own herb. Decide to make myself a treat for the Superbowl - A big spliff with about 7grams in it!! including Super Silver Haze, Blue Cheese, C13, Kushage. Temple Ball, Gunpowder and Rifman Hash.
Watched the game in a smoker friendly bar in Warmostraat. The joint i made earlier lasted near on 2 hours. I was fading fast. I knew i wouldnt last till 4.30 am. so at 3.30am i stumbled back to the Hotel to rest my THC affected brain.
Monday Morning -
More cheese with holes in it with ham and boiled eggs.
Walked round to the Greenhouse effect to see what they had to offer. I couldnt resist the Northern lights. A proper Indica strain. the pricing was bizarre, you could get 1g for 8.50 euros, or you can spend 50 euros and get 8.5grams. Needless to say i took the second option. Real stoned feeling after a joint of this stuff.
Bluebird - This place has become one of my favourite c/shops. There are lots of reasons, Great weed/hash at a fair price, Ample seating for everyone and superb staff all combine to make this c/shop a very fine establishment. Met a guy from Oslo, Norway. He was on a trip with his parents, and while they were out shopping he said he'd come to bluebird - his local, and smoke a white widow joint. The sly bugger! heh heh. spoke to him for an hour or so and showed him what i had in my pockets! It wasnt you Jackie Boy was it? lol.
My mate who lives in Rotterdam popped over to see me for a couple of hours, he also arranged for what i had left to be sent over to the UK. Its better mailing stuff from Rotterdam than Amsterdam. It doesnt look half as suspicious. (the stuff arrived 2 days after i got back)
Only had about 30 euros left so decided to not buy any more herb and my plane was leaving at 8pm.. Spent most of the afternoon wandering round in circles scratching my head looking for new places to smoke. Went to De Kuil for the first time. Nice place. and Prix D'ami.
Managed to make it to the airport this time (last time we didn't make it). had a couple of hours to spare so i did the usual and skinned up a big 'un to smoke outside the terminal with a cup of coffee. Nice end to the trip i must say.
