Anyway I love the city so much that it is enough for me to just be there, having already done all the museumy touristy cultury things in previous trips. Just sitting in its cafes, bars and coffeeshops and walking its streets is enough for me these days. So with that in mind I have booked my third trip of the year, I'll be going solo and leaving early this Saturday (19th) and coming back late on the Tuesday (22nd) flying from Liverpool. 4 full days to myself in Amsterdam.
I've booked into the Rookies hotel because I've heard good things about it, and I need a hotel that is definately going to let me smoke. There are more and more hotels going completely non smoking, so hotels owned by coffeeshops seem like the last refuge of the midnight toker.
Just realised today that Rookies has wireless internet, so I've decided to bring my laptop along for the ride, despite the piece of shit that it is it still has a wireless chip in it.
So, perhaps, if I'm not too fucked up, and if I make it back to the hotel while my brain can still communicate with my limbs. I might be able to type up a few live 'hot off the press' style reports about my smoking exploits as I progress. Perhaps I could even upload a few pictures but this is all dependant on me not getting too fucked up and deciding it's just not worth the hassle.
So perhaps you'll hear more from me in the 'after or during' forum at the weekend. I always enjoy reading the live reports, and I have lurked for long in enough so perhaps I'll give a little back.
Bye for now.
