@AzLaker,
Samantha will go earlier, 8:15, she just has to be dragged from bed . I'll kick her awake and she will be ready to go.
She will change her ticket when you confirm. Let us know.
The schedule is filling in nicely.

@Trad. Sent you PM
Disregard my PM. Got a ticket though Keukenhof website. Bus leaves at 8:30am at Amsterdam Centraal Station.
We're all good to go. Will talk more to Sam when I arrive in town.

AzLaker

Are there plans for the evening of 420? I was thinking about heading to Kashmir Lounge.

What about strolling over to Best Friends after the Rum Barrel for a session before heading back towards central any thoughts

Better say 11.30am/12 I will be in Het Gelderse on the 19th to be safe just in case I get held up at airport etc

I keep scanning the booking sites daily, prices are ridiculous but I managed to find a hostel bed today for £80 in the centre so I've booked it incase i get over.

Not been in a hostel myself for years.

Hopefully book flights by end of march.

Need just 1-3 more people to grab a seat on the Buddha boat lounge tour.

Ghost wrote: ↑Tue 5th Mar 2024 05:13 pm More than happy to go on the later sailing it's always a better sailing when everything is lit up etc might give me time to squeeze some food in before hand after a busy day stomping and smoking it up

@Ghost, that makes 4, with you, Trad, Samantha, and I'll throw my name in also wanting to go later. Let's see what others have to say.

AzLaker

Anybody still interested in going on the Buddha boat tour? We still have a few spots open before I make reservations this weekend. A nice, covered boat, with comfy cushions, 2 free drinks, & (if we want) for an extra $25 euros split between us, a hookah. All for only $34 euros for a 70 minute tour. So, if you're thinking about going, give me a shout, and I'll put you on the list.

AzLaker

O.K. guys, I pulled the trigger this morning on the Buddha boat tour. We're all set to go. I reserved the boat for 10 of us. The boat holds 18 people. When I went to the site, 4 people had already signed up. So, we have 10 ACD'ers on board, along with 4 strangers.
The total cost was $344.47 for 10 of us, not including the hookah.
I've printed up the tickets, so we're all good. Everyone can pay me when I get in town. Fair enough?
Roll on 42024

After the boat, we'd not get there before about 10pm. Last tram back into the centre is probably about midnight so it would be possible but a short visit. What does everyone think? It is a nice place but would it be easier to stay in the centre?

Ghost wrote: ↑Fri 15th Mar 2024 05:27 pm Best Friends after the Rum Barrel

Never been in there before so I'm up for taking a look as it's so near.

Ghost wrote: ↑Fri 15th Mar 2024 05:27 pm Better say 11.30am/12 I will be in Het Gelderse on the 19th to be safe just in case I get held up at airport etc

OK, I'll change it to noon. As we're not going to Stud 'till 3, we should have time to go into the centre first so we could gather everyone somewhere and then travel out together. Gelderse would be a convenient place to do that. It's quite small, though, as I recall.

jollylittlehun wrote: ↑Sat 16th Mar 2024 11:06 am prices are ridiculous but I managed to find a hostel bed today for £80

Yes, should be able to buy a hotel for less than they're charging. I considered a place way out at the end of a metro line but in the end found a deal near Ballonnetje but still a crazy amount of money.

@AzLaker - Did we not have enough people in the end, even with Docgonzo42's generous offer?

Do you know whether the hookah is the traditional tobacco variety or, effectively, a bong, if you see what I mean?

It's Igraine, incidentally. The mother of King Arthur.

@Lemming, I left it open for a good while hoping folks would jump on board, but no buddy acted on it. I didn't want to wait too long, as when I opened the website this morning, 4 people had already signed up for this particular time. So I went with the folks who signed up.
On the hookha, I'll be honest with you, I didn't ask. For $25 euros, I would hope it's not used as a traditional hookha. I'll text them and find out.

I agree about the Kashmir lounge that it would be easier to hang up the top end of town after the boat, have we decided on a suitable base camp yet if that is the case and while we are all in town I also do not mind jumping on the tram and going down to the lounge but time is limited

Ok we can stroll across to Best Friends after

@Lemming Yes Gelderse is not the biggest of places for a gathering meet up spot for us all before the Stud what about Prix d'Ami or Suzies as an alternative at a suitable time

@jollylittlehun Yeah man them hotel prices are scandalous, I had a quick scan and most places are over a 100e a night now even for the Hostels, I reckon you have done pretty well finding that for 80e with the prices going through the roof

I think the Hookah is the one that stands on the corner late at night this is from their website :

Chillax while smoking a Hookah / Shisha
We are the first & only boat tour in Amsterdam where you can smoke a real Shisha/Hookah. For just €25,- book it onboard or online. Relax all cruise long with a personal Shisha/Hookah. Ask the host(ess) for flavours and more info. You can see them in the pics on their website.

You're right. Kashmir is pretty far out. That's how I end up with a sore foot. I might head out there early morning then. Plenty of places in the centre to go at night.

@azlaker am I booked on the boat?

I'm not 100% sure I'll be over yet. Won't be booking a flight till end of March. Thanks for taking the lead organising it all.

I agree that we should stay around the city center after the boat ride. Batavia?

We are in for the stroll to Best Friends after the Rum Barrel.
