Twichaldinho's January09 Trip.

[Twichaldinho]

Well, here we are again fellow ACDstoners. I promised a trip report in full and I’m now paying up. Enjoy.


Tuesday, January 27th.

We start again in an airport, Edinburgh to be precise. Hellhole. Bored out of my face I was. After what felt like forever we Eventually boarded the Big Orange SkyBus. Here’s the view.

Here’s a much better one.


Moving on. I made great time and was at my hotel by 6:30ish in the PM. Hotel Mevlana, Nice enough, Friendly and clean. I didn’t book it( Although I may again ). My mate Tony did. In the end he didn’t come. Rather than change all the Arrangements I just went with it and kept the Twin room for myself. Anyway, I immediately decided to go the short distance round the back and over the canal to the Grey Area. Picking up a cheapo grinder en route. Opt for 2g of cannaloupe Haze@, well, I think somewhere around 11€ a gram. I know for sure that it was 25€ for the two grams and coke. It proved to be a great move. Very clear High, Very clear. I also noticed that the ash burned very even and very white, good sign? Smoked two pure numbers here in absolute peace. Check this view oot!!



Until a group of 5 English Youngsters came in and took up all my view, very Excited the were too. Appolo11, Chocoloupe and Cheese were among their purchases. I left there soon after and ambled my way over to the Green Place. Bought a gram of Trainwreck @ 10€, and a gram of Sharksbreath0 9@ 13€ I think. I rolled up a spiff of the Trainwreck. It cut straight through the High of the Cannaloupe. Left me a little Stoned for sure. This also burned very well. I watched some football highlights that were being shown on the Plasma and chilled. Felt real nice too. I miss this feeling . After an hour or so, and a mixed spiff of Cannaloupe and Trainwreck I was Munchied. I decided on some Fries from the Frites place on Damrack. However Before leaving the Green Place, I looked at the menu Again, Down at the bottom was Purple Kush. I’ve never smoked this before. I asked to see it and if it was better or worse than the Lemon Skunk that was the same price. I loved the look and smell of both strains but opted for two grams of Purple Kush on budman‘s recommendation. Smelt very spicy and was rock hard( in a good way!). Check it out.


I wasn’t really that cold so I went for a wee stroll with my Frites, acquaint my self with the city again. I wandered Dam Square and Spui, the length of Niewnezuid voorborgwal and around Breuwersgracht. I would have took pics but I’m rubbish at taking night Photos. Eventually I settled on somewhere new, for me at least. BettyBoo. I actually wanted to try MK Ultra and heard you could get it here. No Go. I did, however, score some quite righteous S.A.G.E. This stuff tasted Real Herby, in a good way. By that I mean, It didn’t taste fruity, sweet, spicy etc. But nice regardless. Tried to get a pic of the wall but I think I failed. .


In here I also got the strangest cup of tea I’ve ever had.


That thing stickin oot is the teabag, its in a plastic tube! Anyone seen that before?
By now it was around 10:30ishPM, and I’d had a long day of doing nothing. The best kind.
Knowing I was up early tomorrow( by my standards at least.) I decided one more pick-up then back to the hotel to type this up on the ‘ol Laptop ( it’s quite new actually .)
Since I had tried one new coffeeshop, might aswell make it two! Coffeeshop Anyday is two minutes away from me now, and my hotel after. Perfect! So that’s where I go. Upon arrival I notice the Tender Is busy weighing up a large block of nice looking hash. I perused the menu while he took care of business. Soon enough he asks what I would like. I say whatever that bit hash was! It looked tasty. It turned out to be Gold Maroc,

or something like that. Got a gram for €10.50. I started looking at the menu again, white widow for around € 7. I’ll have a gram of that too thank you very much!


I pay with a 20 and tell him to keep the change. I’ve rounded up everywhere so far, kinda like a tip. I’m in such a good mood and no one has done anything to blow it so far. I’m easily forgetting the shit exchange rate. Fuck it .
From there its straight to a shop where I get a mass of junk food and other shit for the room. Up to the hotel where I type this, took a couple bud pics, smoked a huge reefer of Purple Kush ( Very nice BTW!) Another of the white widow ( which was also very nice, didn’t even use the grinder to crumble it.). I got about halfway through the Widow spliff and crashed. Very stoned and full of stroopwaffles somewhere around midnight. Its great to be back

I'm working on the rest lads ( and lassie's ) stay tuned

[Kingdoc]

Hehe i think i know that airport?,Ps great report .

[Twichaldinho]

Wednesday 28th January


Woke up very early, 6:45ish in the AM to be precise. Wide awake too. No drifting back off into the land of nod for another 40winks . My mouths like an Arabs sandal aswell so I grab the fanta and guzzle. It helps, enough for me to be able to light the remainder of the Widow spliff from last night. I must say, It is a very mild sample, now that I have somewhat of a clear head to judge it. It tastes very nice, smooth on the exhale, no coughing. But the stone is lacking. It’s now around 7:30. Time for a shower methinks. Gonna ask about the wireless connection for the hotel today, see if I can post this while I’m here. A proper live report!
Moving on, after my shower I smoked the Sharksbreath09 whilst listening to some tunes on shuffle and finishing off the stroopwaffles from the night before. The Sharksbreath is a whole other story from the Widow. Much stronger, made me cough more too. Gave me a heavy set of eyes and a bit of a mashed head. I like it!
Better start thinking about a real breakfast now. Normally I go to the Dampkring for toasties, O.J and Hazes. Don’t think its open at 9 in the morning though. Lol. I’ll take a walk up there and have a look anyway. I rolled this wee number with leftovers and the Gold Maroc to take with me.


Ended up goin to the Subway on rokin for a 12” Sub instead. I was going in that direction anyway. Nice and warm on a cold day. I ate this and leisurely made my way down to Mellow yellow. I arrived at Mellow Yellow around Half 9 AM. I settle on 2grams of Jack Herrer Haze @ €12. Simply Stunning. Smelly as fuck and perfectly dried. Check it out


Rolled a pure number upstairs, just savouring this Lovely Haze. I Recommend it HIGHLY! There were only a few other people in the shop, none of them were speaking English. I smoked the number that I had brought with me also, then At around 10:25AM I set off for the Katsu. Got there only to find it shut. Opens at 11 . So I just wandered around Sarphitapark and the surrounding area. Took these pics.





Went back to the Katsu at around 11:15. In here I got some Haze Silver Pearl and a cup of tea. Had the absolute pleasure of Hanging out with Milehigh. What a surprise. Got Real Stoned. Smoking MilehighIceolator and Milehigh’s friends crazy oil, Plus all my weed. Even heard the word Gezellig in a sentence for the very first time . From here I was shown the way to Media. Nice. Bought Milehigh a coffee since he did the pointing. Also got 2g of Fresh for €11. (Went for the Hash since I now had Plenty herb!) Good clean, hard but pliable Moroccan Hash.

We sat for a short chat and a couple of spliffs. Media is a must now. I’m brining everyone I know! Even though I didn’t buy any herb, and the hash was at best, very good. I love it. There is so much space. it’s the sort of place you could take a non-pot smoker and Impress them. I smoked Some S.A.G.E which was awesome, perfect even. We parted company after that. I believe Mr Milehigh was spreading the Ganjatours word! I further explored De Pijp for a while before walking back up past here


By now, My belly was a rumblin' So onward into Mcdonalds, off Rembrandsplien. Big Mac meal out the way, I succesfuly mannaged some shopping for skins and more junk food. Can’t forget the junk food! Ended up in HomegrownFantasy. Choose a bag of Hindu Kush for the sum of €10. Left it for a while and Smoked instead from my stash. This time I opt for Cannaloupe X MMG. Wow, I do like this. I get through a nice reefer of this and order another cup of tea. I roll up the Kush and find it acceptable. Maybe it was the previous spiffs’ high but it didn’t jump out at me. Tasted nice though. I was feeling a little jaded by now ( around 3PM) so I popped over the road to my hotel to chill. Took this Photo.
And typed this up while devouring a big bag off cheeto’s and 1 of these.

Smoked This spliff of Sour Diesel Haze.

Which was, again superb! Incedently, I rolled that spliff with the RAW rips that I bought when Junkfood shopping. I like them.
Around 4:15PM I set out again, on a mission for sumthin different, sumthin African. I knew just the place. Quick check of the trusty ACD map and I was off.
Better be quick

7 minutes and sumthin seconds later ( Yes seriously!!) I was There.


That’s Sanemanterang folks.
Been here once before. About 2 years ago. It was empty then. I Walked in on a sunny, summers day and had my mind blown by some HazeHighlife. I did remember they had a lot of strange erb though. After a look at a couple of the top end herbs I settled on some mid menu African Herb @ €12:50 for 3grams. I don’t know if sanemanterang has changed hands but this time I was served by a beautiful, dark, well, Halle Berry toned, young girl. Pretty. Very friendly too. Unfortunately, when I asked if I could take a pic of the menu (cause the herb I bought had a very strange name) She said no. So the Name shall forever be known as African. Strangely, The place was full, not a seat to be had in the shop. There were more dreds and afros than the NBA play-offs . Here’s a pic of the herb I got.


Pockets full of herb I decided on a visit to Nes. If DC was working I’d say hi, if not I’d smoke some herb and have a (small) bier. Win, Win. DC wasn’t in, the dude at the bar said he was upstairs but I saw no need in disturbing him. I'll sign the book on 420 I watched the tennis and smoked 3 spliffs. I started with the African, Didn’t taste too bad. I’ve smoked way worse. Lol. Quite enjoyed the change. Clear headed. The next two spliffs were full on Pure green, goodness! When I left I was back where I began. Mashed!.
From there, I grabbed a slice of Pizza and ambled round to the GreenPlace again. I’m recognised from the night before and am welcomed in with a smile. I bought 2 more grams of the purple Kush, loving this btw, then make my way to the smoking room. Although I’m smoking my erb pure, I still prefer to smoke hash mixed with tobacco, Just me. I end up finishing off my bag of S.A.G.E whilst chatting to two Spaniards from Bar-tha-lona ! Nice guys. Spent a good couple of hours in there just smoking and chatting. I’ve changed back to regular papers now. The RAW ones seem to give everything a weird taste.
Use this opportunity to smoke some of the Fresh that was bought from Media earlier. Lovely maroc, loads of flavour. Watched some footie highlights that were being shown on the Plasma, then I was off again. To the Dampkring on Haarlemerstraat. It was quite full when I arrived. I stood in the queue just reading the menu, eventually settling on a gram of Amnesia Skunk for €8:50. Didn’t smoke that here though, kept it for bedtime. Nice stoney Indica. I got a free coke from the girl at the drinks bar, she recognised me from my multiple trips before and welcomed me back. How very nice! I think I just finished off the Purple Kush in here. After about an hour I was feeling quite mashed. Again, it had been a long day of heavy toking and much walking. It was around 10:30PM so I didn’t want to just go to my hotel and crash, I’d be up just as early again tomorrow if I done that. Instead I take the 5 minute walk down to Amnesia and grab a final gram of Amnesia Lemon at €14. Very smelly, obvious citrus smell but there’s sumthin else in there. I just cant define it. Expensive at €14 but fuck it.
Quite like the new décor, first time since it was done that I’ve been in. I manage to finish this spliff and a cup of tea before I really need to sleep. Setting off from Amnesia at about 11:25 PM. I was in my room, smoking a final SourDieselHaze spliff then out.

Thursday 29th January

Wake up a little later than yesterday, but still too early for me, 8:15AM-ish. Finish the SourDiesel number in the Ashtray. There is NO other herb like this bit, upon exhale the taste is Phenomenal, I can’t describe it but It really is special. I’m told its hard to grow this strain, so well done! My only plan today is to visit Paradox. After the usual morning stuff I’m ready to go. First though, Up to Dampkring for some toasties, O.J, and Tea. I also got 2g of Amnesia x G13. Check it out.


Smoked half of that after I munched mi tosties! Full up and High. I done some shopping. Got a hat for a friend, This pipe.



And these CD’s.


I got them at Backbeat this time, stumbled upon it while looking for paradox. Nice little shop, great Jazz CD’s. I spent a while there. The guy working gave me directions to a coffeeshop so I followed them. It turned out to be Spirit. Didn’t fancy it so I continued to look for Paradox. Eventually I bite the bullet and look at the map( I’m stubborn like that) and I’m close. I snap this Pic. Shooting into the sun sucks!



When I get there I order 1.1g of Chocoloupe for €12. I recommend anyone else to do the same. It was perfect. Check it.


It tasted every bit as good as the very first bit Chocoloupe I had in June 2007 ( yes I remember ) I sat here for a good hour or so. Finishing the Amnesia x G13 from the dampkring and reading my paper. Got up and left. Made it all the way to Here.


Then remembered I had forgot my bag of Shopping in Paradox . Had to backtrack all the way ( found it first time this time though!) and there it was, under the seat where I was sitting. Phew! I share a joke with the Budtender and leave, a happy man. After that unexpected blip, I meandered back up where I had just come from ( confused?) only chose Siberie Instead. Before going in though, I txt a lot of my friends and told them
“ Google Siberie, click webcam, look for me.”
3 of them, plus my mum replied, 2 plus my mum saw me. Result!
In Siberie I got 2 g of California for € 7 sumthing a gram. Was very nice too, smelled gorgeous, citrus to the max. I found it quite heavy though. It cut through the Sativa’s I had been toking and made my head droop. Here’s a pic.


I changed over to the Very Last of my Sour Diesel Haze. Sad about that . It was Excellent. Picked me right up again, but reminded me to eat! I grabbed a few cakes, cookies and another 12” Inch Sub from t’way! And made my way back to the hotel to munch up. I smoked a pure spliff of the African herb that I bought In Sanemanterang, Clears up my cloudy head nicely. I like this too. Anyone would think I’m easily Impressed. I’m not. I just like loads of different ‘erbs for many different reasons. I find this shit a refreshing change from the sticky green buds that I’ve become accustomed to. While smoking the African, I’m typing this up. I’m like a fucking whizzkid. Any other time I’m two finger Tim.
I tried the password for the Hotels Internet but had no luck.Inept stoner I say! I cant be arsed Speaking about it again so this Is all going up when I get back folks. Sorry.
I sat about in the room for a while, I felt exhausted. Must be all the walking, that and the junk food. Definitely not the Herb . Eventually ( around 6PM) I left the hotel and went to Basjoe. It wasn’t until I got to Bas’ that I realised I had left the Camera. No pics tonight .
In Basjoe I purchased 1g Amnesia Haze and 1g Cheese. First off I smoked the haze. It was alright. Not as good as when I got It before but nice. The cheese however, WOW. Kicked my arse for a good half hour. Couldn’t really keep it lit though( smoked it pure), but the taste was all there. As was the coughing. After two cups of tea, and a pure spliff of each( about 7:45PM), I was off. The short distance to the GreenPlace again. This time I go for the S.Silver haze and the Blueberry Cheese

. A gram of both. The guy at the counter recognises me and knows I’m working my way through the menu . I enter the smoking room, and its full of English, like 8 of them. Nae offence like! I had grown accustom to hearing primarily Dutch. I quickly smoke a pure silver haze number and leave. With a soaring high, I walk around for a while, end up on Niewendijk. Grab some KFC, and keep on strolling, to Haarlemerstraat, Eventually. I find myself with a choice and Opt for Barney’s. the original one. I get a gram of perfect Hawaiian

for like €1,00000000000000000000!!!!?!, well €13 actually but I did see one weed for €17 a gram! I smoke a few splifs and drink more tea. Its getting late now. 1 more stop then I’m off to the hotel. Decide on Amnesia again. This time I buy 1 gram of Morning Glory and a gram of L.S.D.
End up spending ages in here. Got talking to the Tender. Had him playin me MF DOOM tunes till I left around 11:30PM. Gave me a free Tea as well. Well and truly mashed I headed back round to the hotel to write this up and take some bud shots.

Smoke half a kush spliff then crash.

I'll post the rest tomorrow, I cant be arsed right now.

[GlesgaToker]

nice report lovin the pics.

[geoffk]

Ah MF Doom

[InsaneSkippy]

Great report! I had no idea about the webcam in that shop, I'm gonna have to stop by and make all my friends jealous

[Boner]

Glad you liked Paradox, one of my personal favourites.

[Ash333]

Sounds good. Shame abut them not letting you photo the menu in Sanmereteng.

Did you get any other menu shots for FlyByNites page?

looks like a nice trip, im jealous.
