Trip report: Day two.
Posted: Thu 4th Oct 2007 11:07 pm
We got up about 10ish on Monday. Turned on the t.v, made a cup of tea and had a few joints of Kush, this is lovely stuff, wobbling around the apartment before I knew it. Swampy done us a great breakfast of eggs and bacon with some crusty bread. We jumped on the tram to mellow yellow. Swampy had recently read the dutch experience and was eager to get to this place. If anyone hasn’t read this book I highly recommend it. We got some coffee and looked at the menu in mellow yellow. The dealer knew me from previous trips, we exchanged pleasant conversation while swampy pondered on his purchase. He got 4gm’s of blueberry and I got some super silver haze (apparently not on the menu) and 5gm’s of black hash, it was the most expensive of the black hash’s, I got a great a great deal on 5gm’s. We gave the king Hassan a good going over last night and I needed more hash for the apartment later in the night. The super silver haze was o.k but not up to what I’ve had on previous visits, some of the best SSH I have smoked in Holland has come from this shop. We sat, smoked and talked to the budtender, a few locals past in and out but besides that it was pretty quiet, we were given another round of drinks gratis. We said our goodbyes and got the tram back to Dam square and made our way to Grey area. The queue wasn’t that bad. Swampy couldn’t believe how small the shop was. Swampy got some Silver Bubble, I bought some of the grey berry. We didn’t stop we headed to DE Kuil. We got some drinks and swampy rolled a joint of silver bubble. I got a soaring high from this joint, it was sociable and lasted a long time, I really knew I was stoned. The grey berry is a brilliant value weed, it doesn’t cost that much per gm, smells musky and makes your eyelids droopy, it is a great overall weed especially if you don’t want to pay top dollar. Swampy loved the trip so far and was making plans for the next time even though we were nowhere near the end of this trip. We had another drink, and I bought just a gm of nevilles haze, it looked very good. I asked for the vaporiser and away we went with the nevilles piled in to the vapo. Swampy had seen the vapo in photos but was shocked how big the bag was in real life, he said he felt stupid as he held the bag. 7 English girls walked in to De Kuil, they were all laughing at Swampy with the vapo bag. Anyway, you could see these young girls didn’t know a thing about weed. Swampy strolled up and offered them the vapo at the bar, they took at instantly and blew the fooking lot. Oh what, I didn’t get a toke and it was my weed. I put the last of the nevilles and the rest of the SSH from Mellow Yellow in another vapo and got a really trippy buzz. I was surprised how relaxed my nephew was, considering he was telling me nearly everyday since we booked the flights how nervous he was. He struck up conversation with these young girls in De Kuil effortlessly. It was lovely to see. The girls joined us down the back of the bar and we explained about the difference between weed and hash and how to purchase it. They came in here for a coffee but left stoned, with weed in their pockets and a smile on their faces. We left and had herring for a snack. We headed back to the apartment for a nap.
We had a smoke in the apartment before heading out. Swampy was smoking blueberry joints for fun when he got up, this is very good weed from mellow yellow. I have found that this varies just slightly from batch to batch, however, this was a great batch. I finished the grey berry, nice smoke. We left the apartment and headed for some Chinese and a beer. Satisfied after food we jumped on the tram to barneys lounge. Lovely place. Got 2 drinks and took a seat, we hadn’t bought any gear from here and proceeded to roll a couple of jonts of silver bubble to finish the bag off. We were stoned to the bone in no time. I have to comment there was no problem towards us because we hadn’t bought any weed in here, only drinks. No one said a peep to us because we hadn’t bought the weed we were smoking from here. Anyway, we finished the joints and needed some more weed. Up to the dealer we went, he willingly got a few tubs out we requested and gave his opinions. Swampy got some sweet tooth, I got some morning glory. Both were sublime. Morning glory buds glistened and made me laugh a little when smoked, which is a rare effect weed has on me or it could have been the crap that was on the T.V. or maybe the stupid jokes Swampy was telling me. It smelled wonderful, kind of deep hashy and I noted a bit of orange smell in here. Different, but really nice. The sweet tooth was good too, a different smell and taste all together compared to the morning glory. Looking at the sweet tooth buds they seemed less packed together compared to the morning glory. It glistened as did the Morning Glory but I couldn’t tell you the difference in the stone, they just both worked well together, they got us both very stoned and happy.
Side note: Is it “BE NICE” week in Amsterdam. I have come across obnoxious people behind the counters in coffeeshops in Amsterdam over the years, but so far so good. You can imagine the impression it had made on Swampy, he thought everyone was loved up and perfect.
From barneys lounge we got the tram taking us back nearer the apartment. We headed for Amnesia. We got some Amnesia Haze between us. This looked the best of the weed. I tried not to listen to the names of the tubs that were put on the counter, I would rather look at the weed and smell it. After all there is only so much in a name. The Amnesia Haze got me forgetting what I was on about. What was I on about? From here we went to the Red Light Bar and had a few beers and smoked our cannabis. Swampy flirted with the girl behind the bar, he had a shot of tequila with her. We headed for the apartment late, put some music on and smoked some of the black hash I had bought earlier on the day. It sent us in to a giant slumber.
Day 3 to come.
