trip report 22nd-29th

Post by AL »

hi folks,
left on wed8.50amam edinburgh airport arrivved the dam by 12.15pm and straight to greenhouse/effect as we were staying in the delft apartment(one of there properties) had to meet our greeter but as usuall in dam flats not ready yet,no biggy popped next door to smoker &get some greenery&welcomed ourselves back,by time flat was ready we were not sufficiently wasted so went to flat which is right over hill street blues looking right over nieuwmarkt and the waag,perfect.
then dropped stuff off and nipped downstairs to our local got some solids this time morrocan gold,superb,stayed for around an hour or so as it was nearly 5pm and needed provisions,so supermarket 20 steps outside the flat got our first visit,jeeze you buy some crap when your out your scone,ended up with loads of cream cakes,apple pie&cream,chocolate,also got some essentials like toothpaste,shampoo etc
right we were nearly ready for our 1st excursion,had to have few more joints first,goes without saying :wink:
first point of call was the noon for there blueberry, great never dissapoints stayed an hour,then off to the rusland where i got white widow(bit dissapointed but still pretty good)then off to the bluebird for some blacks i got king hussain 5g 45 euros.
on way back to flat popped into the goa never changes that musk coloured mosiac artwork has not changed for as long as i can remember but still a cool smoker with quality blo.then as it would be rude not to finish in our local popped in again was open till 1am.
well thats my 1st report as we just went back to our flat pockets loaded and chilled around 11.30ish,took in the rest of the night just getting stoned gazing out the window onto nieuwmarkt eventually went to bed around 3am.
2nd report tommorow

trip report part2

Post by AL »

arose early on thursday 23rd another glorious looking morning,Amsterdam on a sunny morning with plenty ganja "HEAVEN"
nieuwmarkt square was allready up& running,but we were not!
breakfast consisted of whatever was left from the day/night before(best brekky i,ve had in years),ate nothing but smoked a load o ganja,with coffee of course.
then quick shower shave put shorts,t-shirt on,got money,&ready.
first port of call was a cafe the name escapes me but was right beside grey area,was for a full english breakfast washed down with mug of tea polished off with a spogle,then full of calories to burn off decided to nip into paradox then onto rokerij IV before hitting vondel park,enough calories burnt off by now :wink: basically the "cheese" i purchased out of the rokerij toasted myself and my mates,really quality bit of smoke got 5 grams 45 euros,well worth a visit folks.
sat in vondel with a sneaky pipe or 3 :o gazing at the green budgies for ages, ah the beauty of being wasted,you talk a load o pish you look like you,ve been dragged through a hedge backwards,& any insignificant object,or happenning becomes interesting,also you dont give a fuck what you look&behave like anyway as most folk are the same as you "GONKS" :)
left around 6pm and went to barneys lounge for some bubblegum,not too happy with smoke was little to dry and had an aroma which seemed stale,not pleasant at all(eventually gave it to the busker the next day at dam square ,the guy who allways sits by at the church beside the russian doll shop,to his delight until he got home and toked it that night).
then greenhouse namaste and got 1 of my fav smokes "el nino" and true to form was top notch smoke,also got their chocolate space cakes 7 euros a pop and what a pop had to make the long journey back to the flat, all 10 minute walk but when tottalled on el nino and cakes kicking+previous smokes, in comes disorientation,started walking over to the damprink which as most of you will know is not heading back to nieuwmarkt,not that we cared a jot as cakes had kicked right in by now.
was follow the leader but prob was the leader was away for the day :lol:
eventually made the 10 min walk in an hour or so and i couldnt be bothered climbing stairs to flat that i just got a coffee out of hill st blues and chilled outside till could actually make it upstairs,what a hassle having to sit outside a c/shop wasted until i was capable of climbing stairs :wink:
had more smoke in flat then went out to "wok&walk" nice chinese takeaway/sit in for a late tea,around to homegrown fantasy got some nice shiva haze which basically got vapourised&had to go to the toilet just for a nose at the weird effects,over to the utopia got some king hussain 3 grms 27 euros, nice cool smoke,effects could give you no report on recent purchases as was totally wasted so everthing was great :lol:
then back to the flat for a night cap.
well thats day 2 and i am missing loads surprised i remembered so much as the cakes at greenhouse were dynamite,plus the fact when you get up the next day and we,re all asking did we go here,there,etc?,"think so not sure",the sign you had a good day when you cant even remember what you got up to for most of it.

long report but hope you enjoyed guys.

ps. mike never got your menu list bud sorry, but ethiopian food report to come.

last day(middle part of trip with pics too come)

Post by AL »

unusuall way to report a trip but hey im unusuall :)

was our last day or so we thought,had too leave our cosy wee apartment at 11am for cleaner to prepare flat for next residents,so away to greenhouse effect hotel handed keys in got deposit back then nipped next door to get some of there greenhouse special or giggle as we like to call it,chilled for an hour or so as we had till 9.25pm before our flight left so all day to witter away.
next port of call was barneys for breakfast & i wanted more willie nelson & cheese,unfortunately willie hadnt arrived yet so cheese sufficced,man did it no half :lol:
anyhoo wondered around aimlessly,still packed with our weeks purchases,lookin for a nice wee c/shop to while away another hour or two& smoke all our stuff but never seems to happen that way(not for me anyhow)as we hit homegrown fantasy they had skuff in which they never had all week so had to get me some,2g for 22euros(i think cant really remember),lovely bit of smoke hard to smoke when you put nearly all 2grms in 1 spogle,was like smokin a poltice but i persevered to the amusement of my mates,but i had last laugh cause they werent as wasted as me :wink: i was packin ,my pockets were bulging and i was still indulging in purchases thinkin well got around 5 hours to get to airport so plenty time to toke it all(yeh i know greedy fucker :) ),master plan was to smoke all my greenery then onto my solids&if not finished by airport time i would eat the stuff,great plan eh!
first part of my plan was working until we hit rastababy,only 2 hours before we had to hit central etc,and i had to get some of there weed only 2 grms but still had several grms of solids to get through and by this time i was into orbit,we sat in there conservatory bit smokin like chimneys,pissed off cause we were leaving shortly but still having a laugh,the amounts of blo that was getting consumed was outrageous but we managed to prevail and smoke most of our weed mind i still had around 6-8 different solids in my tail(maybe 14-18grms worth)so put on the table still in rastababy and mumbled to my mates "be in!",eventually left to get train at 6.30pm as check in was 7.25pm but still had around say a 1/4 of solids left so made 2 spogles for outside schipol & yeh you guessed it ate the rest.
time we got to a/port was just back of 7 so straight to check in but too early but waited till opened,checked in and then done our duty free trip and walked around for a while.
It was around 8.45 when we decided to go to departure lounge as flight was leaving at 9.25 but when we got there seen the place was heaving and only 2 security checks open for 5 easyjet flights,which you could see all 5 planes waiting,was outrageous i asked guy in front of me "are you on the flight for edinburgh?",no preston was his reply,shit we,re in trouble now,eventually got through but noticed on tvs that our flight was departing so we bolted along got to gates but yep were shut and the 3 ladies(saying ladies now they were getting dogs abuse at the time :lol: ),just casually told us "vee are too late planes leaving",the fuckin plane was 30 feet in front of us and no call was made on any intercom saying our plane was nearly ready for departure,bastards :evil: so as said gave 3 girls a really hard time,well my mates did cause i was absolutely wasted with all the blo i ate kicking right in :lol: also my friend who will remain nameless was standing giving the plane the bird,vickys etc ,like the pilot was bothered he was probably pissin himself laughing thinking more stoned bams late for there flight heh heh heh goodbye. :)
anyhoo decided to leave bags in storage at airport go back into the dam find accomodation for the night then head back before 7 am so flights were only 52 euros each& most importantly we,ll get a flight back.
so back to the dam, went to the jail hotel 1st ,nothing then we hit hotel neutral got a room for 105 euros ,robbin bastards,what a dive this place was a real hovel,but my mates decided to go out for a while and get some smoke,it was around 11.30-12,i was just wanting to chill and hit the hay so ready jumped into bed and the bloody thing tilted towards the wall big style so moved to another bed and excactly the same tilting beds,had to ram my feet against the wall so wouldnt crush myself :lol:then, as i couldnt get to sleep,my mates came back with some nice afghani & pollen so we stayed up till 5.45am toking away cursing easyjet.
then went downstairs as we wanted our breakfast,dear fuckin brekky 105 euros,the guy who checked us in was off duty & another dude was now there and made us coffee and breakfast was a help yourself job so sorry for any1 who stayed there that night and came down to no boiled eggs that morning ,we took them all ,a bowl full we left the bowl we,re not all bad :wink: along to central onto schipol got our flight but not after more controversy ,we arrived at 7.15am and were told we would need to pay around 581 euros for flight as we never got there b4 7am,YEH YOU THINK SO LUV :evil: ,called for supervisor and poor lady got a real scottish bollokin and eventually got us on the 11.55am flight out for 52 euros each.
hung around outside airport on benches lookin onto the adjoining hotel smokin what was left of the previuos nights stash,not giving a jot about the police roaming around not blatently obvious we were smokin dope but on the same hand not really caring if they did notice.
oh and all they boiled eggs were dispersed all over the airport,in coffee cups, under toilet seats,everywhere,the cleaners must have thought the eggs in the airport that day were off as nobody seemed to be eating them,if they only knew :lol:

theres a moral to this story GET TO DEPARTURE LOUNGE AN HOUR AT LEAST BEFORE TAKE OFF and if same happens avoid the hotel neutral.

ps;middle part of report still to come with pics,might have this report finished b4 my next trip :lol:

Oh man, that was funny. Sorry to laugh at your expense Al, but sounds like you had a great time :lol: . I've never had to toss or give away gear, I always eat it. Reminds me of my first trip, me and my friend ate all our gear then we passed out at the gate. We had to transfer in London, and when immigration asked question, all we could do was stare. We were fucked up.

re. missing the 1st plane...

I have a similar tale from my first ever trip to Amsterdam...
It was 2001, and my wife-to-be was already in Kazakhstan. I had been partying 4 nights in a row back in my UK home town, to the point that I had forgotten to pack a suitcase...
This was to be my first flight on my own, and first time in a foreign country (Netherlands) solo. I arrived at Heathrow, to discover I still had a couple of party pills and two j's rolled ready in my jacket pocket. I suspect the mate that packed my suitcase for me decided I should be prepared... just wish I had noticed them earlier. Anyway, found a place that seemed quiet, and was underneath a security cam, with no others apparently pointing at that area. Smoked both j.s, then popped into the airport, bought a drink and gobbled my pills. Quickly went to check in, all OK. Start coming up, and spacing out a little whilst waiting at the departure lounge. Best flight of my life - the sun was shining, and I was flying, and in a plane :)
Got to Amsterdam [about 3 days of fun cut here, leave for another post sometime....] not having booked a place to stay, I crashed at the airport over night (I had planned to grab a cheap hotel room, but most were booked, and the 'services' that found you a place to stay all seemed too dodgy...), so after 24 hours in Amsterdam, I was due to catch a flight to Almaty, then another to Astana, to meet back up with my beloved (she had left 10 days before me to sort out some paperwork for me), and start arranging the wedding.
Except I fell asleep at the departure gate. Woke up a good hour after the plane left. Oooops. Went and found check in desk and begged and pleaded to get the next available flight for free - about to get married, wife-to-be will kill me etc. etc. Result, get new tickets. I now have another day and a half in Amsterdam.... to shorten the story a little, I missed another flight. 3rd flight I am booked on, I fall asleep at departure gate again. (By now, close to a week of partying with very little sleep). I wake up, and the plane is still there, but they have removed the bendy tube that connects the airport building to the plane. I speak to the staff, explain my predicament... Tough... 'your luggage has been removed, the pilot says he can't wait for it to be reloaded, etc. etc.'
I can see him through the window of the airport, and then his plane's cockpit window. I throw down my hand luggage, and dive onto my knees in a begging position (note to any copy cats... wear knee pads before diving, knee first, onto a concrete floor), putting my hands together in a begging/praying manner, and ask the nice lady to explain that if I miss my third flight from Amsterdam, I will not have a marriage to attend.
3 minutes later, I get the go-ahead, a short while later I am on board, and no longer cacking myself...

Moral of the story? If you ever find yourself desperately needing a flight, have NO shame, beg like a dog, give it all you've got, and sometimes people will take pity... I got married that year, had a 14 hour stay in Amsterdam on the way back to Britain a few months later, and a couple of weeks later my wife came back to Britain as well. The next trip to Amsterdam was a birthday present from her. She came as well for obvious reasons ;)
In around 66 hours I will be back in Amsterdam again, 6 and a bit years after my first trip. This time I have an apartment, two British friends meeting me there, things planned out a little better (see my various threads), and enough info from this forum to keep me going for many trips to come - I hope to make Amsterdam a twice a year deal now, assuming I can save up enough.
