Monday 24th November

Wake up a 2.45pm, suitably refreshed, lol. Shower and chill in the smoking room downstairs smoking tons and tons of weed, nearly cleared out all my stocks, spent a good hour here, then went to wander and find some more weed. Just went to Centraal Cafe so I could confirm the policy. There was no weed smell from inside there today, but people were drinking coffee, etc, but not smoking. Bought 1.8g Royal weed for €12.50. Headed off towards Haarlemerstraat, but with no particular destination in mind. Wandered past 420 and decided I definitely wanted food not weed, so just wandered along Haarlemerstraat, and couldn't find anything. Ended up stopping in a little shop and getting a pot of spinach ravioli from their counter at the back. Not what I wanted but kind of healthy,:)

Headed back to the hostel and smoked lots more weed before eventually heading to the meet and greet. BigRigRob and ECHC1 are the first people I see, followed by blueberry, flybynite, then lot's of others who i'll try and remember here in no particular order: looneytunes, heavyhitter, jcredit, islandgurl, gapie, u-roy? USBL, and others that I can't remember, anyway, I had wicked time and got completely stoned. Everyone got into the carmello, and I sent a few vape bags around, a couple of Laughing Buddha from Rokerij, and a couple of NYCD from 420. My personal purchases were a nice bud from the diesel, the only big bud in there, and I was allowed to hand pick it. :) This weighed in just over 1g, 11€g was charged €11.50, paid €12 ;)

I also bought a gram of caramello, and almost every there towards the later part of the evening bought Caramello and Diesel. The bags were going down well and the mood was generally good. Made plans to meet with Looneytunes at Basjoe's @11am, as he wanted to go there and I was looking forward to picking up some Haze Heaven. While in the Davide, the famous italian from my August trip report came in. He is now living in Amsterdam. This is going great. More people to visit. We arrange to meet up at 12pm at my hostel.

My idea of an early night went out the window because I sat and smoked through loads more gear at the hostel, both mine and some of the other guys, and got off to bed at 4am. I can say it was a thoroughly stoned evening.

Hi nice read cheers, I'm here for a few days and was directed to the christian hostel, which is unfortunately non-toking. Currently sampling super silver haze from popye. What hostel are you staying at? I need a toking one. =)

Tuesday 25th November

Got up at 12.10pm, got dressed and ran out of the hostel, no sign of Davide, ran rapidly off to Basjoe's to see if looneytunes was still there. I go there to find USBL and friend there, they said they haven't seen him. Anyway, I decided to hit the Haze Heaven now I'm here, and pick out a very nice looking bud, came in at 1.7g, so james topped it up to 2g, €12g.

chilled with USBL et al for an hour or so, then they headed off, so I finished off the second spliff and black chai, then headed off myself, back to the hostel. Started smoking again in the hostel, then decided to get some tea, food and my laptop, so it was tosti time. Began to write this up, as had a long way to go.

Had another nice smoke up in the Hostel, for a good few hours, then it was out into the big wide world. Can't remember the first coffeeshop I went to, but I bought something and chilled in there for an hour or so, then back to the hostel. Met up with pipeworm, and we headed off out to the Rokerij, where I got to pick my own bud again, yes, laughing bouddha, again. Will try some more of their weed, but this is definitely becoming my favorite place to chill, because of the weed and decor. Will be interesting to see if I still feel the same when the laughing bouddha quality eventually drops off.

We chilled there for some time before we headed back towards the hostel, pipeworm and his friend went off to chill out, and I headed down for an evening of relaxation in Basjoe's. USBL and friend were hanging in the along with some guy tripping his nut off. Islandgrrl dropped in, but after a couple of hours in Basjoe, it was time to head back, so I chilled into the hostel, had a couple of spliffs, then off to bed at 11pm for an early night.

I must apologise, as my reports are getting shorter due to me now beginning to forget half of what I do, oh well nevermind :)

i must have just missed you at basjoe's cos me and my brother were there about 8-9pm.

Is james the guy with the REALLY long dreadlocks? Well he was an absolute laugh, we bought some AK47 and he gave us a pipe of what he called his 'best shit'...i think he said it was his isolator. He then gave me a coffee and i didnt even have to pay for it..they dude was cool so i think i'll head back there today at some point for some juice and a spliff.

Cheers mate, I think I've passed meeting point at somepoint, I'll check in later. Another poor feature of the christian hostel is the check in time at 2am! I was totally lost and stoned on hashish bongs last night, approaching 1:50am wondering around in red light, scanning my map for street names, and only barely made it back in time! :o :D

I'm also getting short on cash, so spending a lot of time at meeting point too. I do want to try those equadorian shrooms though! I spent 50EUR last night whilst on hawaiins, not a clue what I purchased those shrooms were far too strong :x
