Tuesday June 10th
Last full day in Mecca, bummer. After the now customary morning routine, this time to the funky sounds of Speedometer I grap the moonshine pre roll that had been lying for a day or two un smoked and head downstairs to the Rookies. 10 mins later cantona appears and we start to blaze up. We've to meet Tony at H.G.F at 12 so we have plenty time till then. We take a slow and enjoyable walk up to the Newley Dun-up Dampkring where I treat myself to 2g Algeria and a space cake. I'ts a shame they don't make the cake fresh in the coffeeshop anymore, the trippy coloured sponge is a thing of the past now. Chill and smoke the very nice Algeria for an hour or so then its off to Homegrown. I get a 10euro bag of cheese, a fine exaple of the strain and we blaze up till Tony arrives. Canton and I then agree that next stop is the Green Place, niether of us had been before. Once there I settle for 2g SuperBubble, I think its like the grey area's Silver bubble, i.e. S.S.H x BBGum. A TOP SMOKE btw. Sparkling with THC, Perfectly cured and vey smooth when smoked pure. One of my favourites of the trip. I think it was around 12Euros a gram. We sat at the window and enjoyed the view for while. Then it was off to B.K, curly fries, onion rings and an O.J later we were at Abraxas. Here I get a gram of the Abraxas Special Hash. Proper fudge-like substance, at 9euros a gram. Stay here for a spliff or three, or untill pool is suggested. Off to Prix D' Ami then eh! At the Prix I get just a gram of John Sinclair and we hire a table. I kick Tony's Ass at pool for a couple of hours, pausing only to keep an eye on the Spain game and roll doobs. Out of weed and all pooled out we bounce over to Stix.( the one with the big window) I splurge on 1.5g's Gunpowder and 1g Diesel Haze. WoW! The Diesel haze was Awsome.( the Gunpowder got posted) Sat here for the duration of two spliffs and an apple juice. Knowing for a fact that Popeyes were showing all the fitbaw, that was our next destination. I get a Gram of Pink Kush and 2g's of N.Y Diesel to tide me through the Sweden vs Greece game. What a fuckin goal btw. Big Zlatan! Cantona leaves to catch a taxi back to the hotel. Tony and I stick it out till the end of the game, then making the short walk over to barney's for a final smoke. Feeling a little tired I opt for the georgous Hawian Snow( 2g) to keep me on my feet. Around midnight we leave Barney's. I have the full intention of walking all the way back to the Rookes but Instead take the easy option and grab a taxi at Nieuwezijds Voorburgwal, costing the grand total of 9 euros to the Liedseplien. Up to the room, pack all my shit that I wont need tomorrow, finish all the remainders of weed and hash I have and reluctantly give in to sleep.
Wednesday June 10th
I get up early, shower and pack up all the shit I still had to pack, finish the half spliff in the Ashtray then hand in my keyes at the Reception. From here I decide to enjoy my final morning to the full and walked all the way to centraal station in the early morning sunshine. Stoping only for a SubWay at Rokin. Bags dumped in a locker I make the short walk to the New Greenhouse on Harlemerstraat. Get 1g Kushage at 10.50Euros from the BudTender with the most Infectious smile in Amsterdam. Not long after I light my spliff I get a txt from Tony saying he's at H.G.F now and I've to bring stamps. Spliff done I get some stamps from the shop beside the ATM and head on down. When I get there I get some Sour Diesel, I think I've tried everything in here now and the sour diesel is the best smoke on the menu In my opinion. Deciding that coffeeshop extreme have good deals on hash we went there next, picking up a birthday card on the way. Here I get 25euros of Extreme pollen and 12.50euros of Hollywood Haze. I flatten out the Pot, place it in the card beside the Bag of Gunpowder, thicken it up with postcards, seal it shut then smoke the haze. T'was a very nice Haze aswell. Couple of brews later and were off. I manage to get myself a Kick Ass new pipe for bringing home, a big bowled, hand blown, blue and red number. Final shop of the day was Popeyes for 1g Pink Kush and 1g Super Shiva. I know the kush is expensive but it is bloody nice. Two pure splifferoonies later it was time to get our train. Posting my letter at the Train Staition en Route. Tony got the tickets while I went for my bags. Uneventfull train to a near deserted Shiphol, spend all the leftover euros on sweets and shit.
The Rest is History
Well thats all folks, I still have alot of pics to post and I will get round to it at some point. Thanks for taking the time to read this.

' Smoke em if you got em '
Very good read and got me geared up for my trip in 8 weeks time. Thanks for taking the time again.
I just re-read a couple of the earlier days and noticed the Laila rifman hash, this happened to be my favourite hash from last summer. A lovely smoke and one i will be looking out for in the future.
