Axeman - PART 2 July 1st - 4th '07
Posted: Wed 11th Jul 2007 02:56 pm
Tuesday Yup you guessed it, cheese with holes in and a boiled egg for brekkie again! sat in the hotel for an hour till 11am waiting for the pissing rain to stop. Eventually it did. Again i wanted to go to Grey Area to sample of their low price range weed. No AK47 that ive been hearing rave reviews about. He assured me its real nice as its a close friend who does it for him, he does it reall slow to get maximum potency/flavour, and was told it would be in later after closing. So i opted for 3g Yellow cab at 8.5e per g. Quite a nice mellow smoke, not very strong but just really nice if ya known what i mean?. Wanted a milkshake so we walked the 50-60yards round the corner to Amnesia. I got a chocolate one and my mate had a bananana one. perfect remedy for the terrible heart-burn i get in Amsterdam. Nothing really jumped out at me on the menu, although i did have a bloody good look, so i decided to pass. Great milkshake though.
Just hang about for a half hour or so and headed back to the Smoking Bull for a heineken, we were hoping to meet Neldo and his missus for a Haarlem trip. So we went to meet him in Hill Street Blues on Warmostraat. Another place that sells quality milkshakes. Neldo and his missus nipped back to their hotel, we thought we'd spooked 'em or summat as they took a while to get back, so we decided to go alone. Only to find neldo had turned up shortly after we left. .
Train to Haarlem was 6.20e, and takes about 15-20mins. Straight off the train and in to the Willie Wortels Sativa, After a long ponder i went for 50 euros worth of Nepalese Temple Ball at 11e per g. But here you get 12.5 free when you spend 50euros so got about 5.6g for my trouble. This stuff is the real deal. The effects arent heavy and is a delight to smoke. One of only a few places where you can get a Mug of coffee/tea. and only 1.30e aswell. nice comfy seats. i think theyre old plane or train seats. On the way to the Indica we stopped off at Empire c/shop. just a quick coke in here and picked up 1g iso-lator at 20euros. (still waiting to smoke it now ).
We came across a large square rather like Leidseplein with a load of tables outside and stopped for a couple of cold ones as the sun was starting to make an appearance. Nice. Finally stumbled our way to WW Indica opposite the windmill. We were pretty wasted due to the bad combination of beer and gear so i just flew in to pick up some hash. I wanted summat soft and the bald bloke showed me some Kasmir Maroccan, `twas very bendy indeed. smelled a bit like compost and mud to be honest. which can always be a good sign. Again i got 50euros worth so thats 6.5g at 9.50per g, inc the 12.50e free.
Then we headed back as we just wanted to lie down flat. Our feet were killing us from all that walking. After waking up about 9pm we thought we'd better make the most of the 4 hours left before everywhere shut. So we mooched up to Bluebird for a quick toastie and a scan at the "book of dreams". If you ask the English guy if he has any proper tea, he will oblige. Im not a fan off all this fancy flavour stuff, i just want Yorkshire Tea!! Got some rather potent Power Plant in here at 12.5 for 1.4g. Nice Smoke!! quite heavy. After we walked down to Ricks Cafe. Ricks sells beer, but right next door is Ricks Cafe that sells shrub. we sat out here in the seats by the water and talked shit while my friend made his way through 4-5 beers, and i made my way through 2-3 grams of weed. Im glad we sat outside cos the music in Ricks was absolutley terrible, like loud samba, but worse. Much worse! Got Munchies soon after and slipped in to New York Pizza Slice for a piece of BBQ Bacon an Ham pizza, yum yum.
Wednesday am. Its raining again. This was beginning to piss me off. It had been raining everyday for 3 weeks at home in the UK before i left, and Amsterdam was gettin its fair share of moisture too. Was looking forward to spending some time in Vondel Park in the sun with a couple of cold 'uns and a frisbee, But it just wasn't going to happen. Wanted to go to Picassos as i'd heard great things about this place. The staff gave John from the Grey Area a run for his money for being the nicest guy in Dam. Took one of Boner`s picks, Poison. I wasn't to be disappointed. 1g at 8e per g. First time ive been in here. And it wont be the last. We decided to go the the either the Heineken Museum (his choice) or the Zoo (my choice). we couldn't decide so we did a few rounds of "Paper, Scissors, Stone". The Heineken Museum it was. Got the tram up towards Leidseplein and had a couple of more beers outside Boom Chicago and got told off for smoking Sour Diesel. We had no idea where the museum was, so we did a few laps and finally saw it in the distance and made a bee-line for it. 11 euros to enter. Reasonable i thought. I didnt know what to expect really, it was OK in my opinion. that was it, at least you get a few beers on the way round to drink. i give it 6/10. I knew the Zoo would have been more fun.
I had plenty left to smoke so i thought id make a couple of Big ones. Generally spent most of the afternoon walking back to Centraal. Stopping off at Dolphins, Other Side, Dampkring, Softland and a final Milkshake from Amnesia.
My flight home was delayed by 3-4 hours. which was pretty shit. spent the evening buying crap coffee and smoking joints outside the Airport. Great! But my trip wasnt over yet! As i came through the Arrivals section at Leeds/Bradfrod airport and went through Passport control. I saw a Policeman who was giving my a strange look. he immediatley got on his radio. as i exited the Arrivals section, two coppers followed me, "Excuse me sir. Mark, isn't it?" he said. "Err... yeah thats me" i replied. "mind if we ask you a few questions?". Apparentley as i was first off the plane and first through customs they thought i looked a bit suspicious. They emptied my bag and gave me a good old frisk and asked why i was Amsterdam alone. "I always go!, i met a mate from london this tme. and yeah i smoked weed and drank beer!" Apparantley when they scanned my passport it came up as im a convicted drug user!!!!! Absolute SHITE! ive NEVER been done for drugs in my life! Other stuff, yeah! but never drugs. Lying fuckers.
