Nice report and nice bunch of shops. Tell me you're kidding about the 70 E a gram hash? That is more then cocaine man. Fucking hell. Someone ought to be arrested for robbing people. And I thought 44E for the Barney Rubble was outrageous. I sure hope no one pays that. We have a very nice Iceolator that bubbles for 15E at the Indica in Haarlem. I thought that was high, lol...

Mid March in Amsterdam
Day 4 - our final day
With our flight home leaving at 4.45pm we checked out of the hotel quite early (9.30ish) and were grateful for having each brought a bag small enough to easily carry round with us.
Rokerij Singel - 1g Silver Pearl
First smoke of the day was the silver pearl, one of my favourite's from my previous trip. I love the look of it, perhaps a little dry but very firm, crystal covered buds. Gave a very visual, almost trippy high.
Abraxas - Apple Jack
Had another milkshake (bannana this time) but without the hash, and had some very potent smelling apple jack. Enjoyed the smoke but had a big group of americans trying to ask us questions about our trip with a camorder pointed at us, not ideal coffeeshop etiquette if you ask me.
Homegrown Fantasy - 2g White Widow, 2g Shiva
Always feel this CS is a bit too patio furniture-ey for my liking, we made the most of their cheap WW and Shiva, stayed for a quick one then moved on.
Rokerij Singel - 2g Rokerij Haze, 1g Lavender
Back again! Just had time for a quick grab and go then off to PF.
Pink Floyd - 1g Umma Gumma
Our final coffeeshop of the trip, we grabbed our drinks and Umma Gumma then found the upstairs empty again so took the sofas. It was nice to end the trip exactly where we'd started it. Had a spliff of the Rokerij Haze and popped the rest into a Dora the Explorer DVD case (free with a childrens magazine - the cheapest DVD i could find!). Sealed the envelope and crossed my fingers.
Off to Central Station where I posted my parcel and jumped on the train to the airport.
All in all a great trip - the only things on my pre trip wish list I didn't manage were doing Salvia and making it to Haarlem....both are on the list for next time.
Favourite Coffeeshop - Pink Floyd just shaves it over Rokerij Singel. Had never been to PF before and loved it. 3 distinctly different floors (1-several small tables, bar stools; 2- good for larger groups, one huge table and plenty of seating; 3 - small tables for couples or small groups, 2 omfy sofas) internet access, good location, small but high quality menu
Favourite Weed - Difficult to call, for taste and smell it's the NYC Diesel from Twede Kamer, for effect its the Nevills Haze from De Kuil/420.
Favourite Hash - Umma Gumma for taste, and effect. Really enjoyed all the hashes smoked on this trip, especially the Temple Ball from Stix and Citral from Katsu
I'm heading back in a fortnight to do all that I didn't manage to do this time, I genuinely seemyself frequenting Mokum at least twice a year for years to come....
Day 8 - The postman brought me a treat this morning!! No smell proofing, no subtle labelling but it made it, I guess I should count myself lucky
