A welcome return 21/11/14 - 23/11/14
Posted: Wed 3rd Sep 2014 06:12 pm
For the last year and a half or so I have always had a sinking feeling when I have left the Netherlands that this would propably be my last visit; despite this in which time I have manged to squeeze four trips in, well the last trip was no different so I made sure I had a good one visiting coffeeshops in Amsterdam, Leeuwarden, Haarlem and Zandvoort. I came back meaning to write my trip up and share my experiences with you guys, who have given me such good information over the years, but my fears of not returning ment that I could not even consider coming on the website, let alone reminding myself of how much I love the country. I was sorry to leave you all.
Well I am back, so that can only mean one thing, another trip booked woo hoo!!!!
This time I am bringing my lady friend for her surprise birthday present, she has never been to the Netherlands before. She does not, has not and propably never will smoke weed or even tobacco; so I am not going to be spending loads of time hanging around in coffeeshops, but as you all know there is plenty of other cool stuff to do and it does not mean that I can't pop in for a quick buy and fly or the occasional smoke. I'm actually really looking foward to this trip as it means I can do some of the activities that my smoker friends or my regular traveling companion would want to do such as going on a canal cruise and visiting the house of bols for a couple of gin cocktails.
We get into Schiphol early evening Friday 21st November and head to Haarlem for the night (better not give her Birdies Jelly for her first smoke then ha ha ha) where we are staying on the Grote Markt. On the Saturday we relocate to Amsterdam staying the hotel Quentin by the Leidseplein, the hotel I first stayed in eleven years ago when I was a nineteen year old. Unfortunately it's only a weekend away so it's back to England on the Sunday afternoon, no doubt with the heavy feeling in my heart again.
Let's hope she has a good a time as I have always had in Amsterdam.
