Hey everybody, i'm sadly back home.. 
Here's another part of my report:
Day 6 ( July 18 ):
We wake up really late today, meet up with our friends at the Rokerij II and spend there a couple of hours talking and laughing (while a weird guy is staring at us the whole time smiling lol, but it's Amsterdam so whatever! I think he's a first time smoker and is so stoned he doesn't even know he's smiling haha!)
It's time for some shopping (yay for season end sales!), so we park our bikes and walk around the city center till shops close at 6 pm. After getting some amazing deals we stop at the Abraxas too coffeeshop for a smoke and relax outside enjoying the beautiful weather.
We then take our bikes and ride around taking some pics till we arrive at our apartment, order some sushi and watch Comedy central channel until bed time (of course smoking the whole time!)
Day 7 (July 19):
We wake up at around noon and get ready for a new Amsterdam day, our first stop is De Kuil/420 coffeeshop, heard some great things about it and since we've never been there we need to check it out
We're lucky enough to seat right in front of the big window so we light up some joints and watch the people go by. We really like the atmosphere in here! Great c/s!
After a stop at the Abraxas coffeeshop and another one at the Siberie coffeeshop, we ride down to Toolstraat at the Greenhose Toolstraat (my boyfriend's favorite). As usual the shop is completely empty during summer so we smoke walking around looking at all the celebrity pics on the walls and realizing we were sitting right on the sofa 50 cent was sitting in the pic hanging in front of us lol
It's now about midnight so we're right in time for a last stop at the Barney's lounge, order 2 milkshakes and smoke a big spliff. That's life
Day 8 (July 20):
We're out of weed so our first stop today is the 'Tuintje coffeeshop. Buy 8 grams of white widow and 8 grams of Ak (the guy working there smiles when we come in and tells us to "buy the coffeeshop" since we're there every day lol) and spend about an hour surfing the internet and smoking their great weed.
Since we're close by the Vondelpark and the sun is shining we decide to relax there for some time, i love this park, it's huge! After a great pic nic and 3 or 4 joints we ride to the Dolphins coffeeshop, take a seat on one of the sofas downstairs, smoke a spliff and then out to ride our bikes again to the Tweede kamer.
It's our first time there and we don't like it as much. The shop is very small and is totally empty when we walk in, we take a seat near the window but as soon as we move the curtain to look outside the guy working there tells us we need to close it again. I really don't know why.
So after a quick joint we leave for another visit to my favorite c/s, the Abraxas. All the seats are full upstairs so we sit at the table right in front the counter. I also remembered to take a pic of the menu for a forum user that asked me about it
It's midnight when we leave so we barely have the time to a last stop at the Hunter's coffeeshop, smoke there a joint while eating the delicious ice cream they sell and then back home for bed time.
Day 9 (July 21):
It's another sunny day in Amsterdam, so we're on our bikes again.
First stop of the day- Basjoe coffeeshop. We find a seat outside which is amazing because the view is stunning, seat down and start rolling a spliff when we notice there is a little girl about 8 or 9 years old sitting at the table near us with her parents! I kinda don't feel ok to smoke right next to a little girl, so i tell the guy working there that there's a kid sitting outside, but he surprisingly tells me not to worry! Well if police came i think he should be worried..but anyways we spend about an hour there drinking 2 chocomels and smoking some joints enjoying this amazing afternoon.
We're riding around A'dam when all of a sudden it starts raining really badly, we find ourselves in Muntplein so we park our bikes quickly and get 2 seats at the nearest coffeeshop which happens to be the Rokerij III. We wait there smoking till the sun comes out again and then ride on to the Barney's coffeeshop.
It's our first time there and we really like the shop, the atmosphere and the music are great, and the weed is excellent.
We then make another c/s stop at the Greenhouse centrum, get to seat outside and spend there the rest of the evening till night time.
Last part of the report and pics coming up soon!!!

Here i am for the last part of my report! I hope you enjoy.
Day 10 (July 22):
We wake up with a beautiful sunny day, we are really lucky on this vacation, (were here last August and the weather was horrible, practically it was autumn already!), light up a spliff for breakfast and then ride our bikes around the city and decide for a stop at the Dutch Flowers, since they have an awesome view on the canal.
We seat down next to the window when the girl working there asks my id, i will be 25 in November so that made my day lol
Next stop: Amnesia coffeeshop. All the seats outside are taken so we get a seat inside, the place is really hot, the girl that works here is really kind and explains they have no air conditioned and they can't leave the other door open because someone complained about the smell i guess and called the police one day!
We light up a big fat joint and get 2 smoothies with forest fruits, absolutely delicious! Don't forget to try them out if you're in the amnesia c/s!
We leave the place after what must have been a very long time and then go for a little girly-things-shopping, which is helpful because we have been smoking so much today i can barely talk lol.
After a little c/s rest we make one more stop at the Rokerij II, realizing tomorrow is our last day in A'dam(
We were gonna go back home exhausted from the day but since we're so close to the end of the vacation we ride to the Abraxas too c/s and stay here smoking some big fat ones till 1 am! (too bad they close so early!)
I really like the new interior of Abraxas too, it's very Abraxas-style and i love it!
Day 11 (July 23):
A new day in Amsterdam with one more sunny and really warm day! We start the day with 2 joints for breakfast and then jump on our bikes heading to the Grasshopper.
Now we don't really like grasshopper coffeeshops, they're really expensive, you can get the same drinks in other c/s spending less.
The only reason we go there is because the sun is shining and they have a beautiful terrace on the canal which is great during summer!
We stay there petting the little cat that's hangin out around and then sadly go return our bikes to Orangebikes (which i highly recommend, great bikes and as far as i know the cheapest in town, with no huge signs saying "i'm a tourist" on! We paid 4 euros per day per bike).
We're out of weed again so we take the tram to Overtoom (being bikeless feels weird now!) to the Tuintje and get 4 grams of White Widow and 2 grams of AK.
Back to the center again to the Smokey c/s. Same thing as the Grasshopper here, don't really like this place, expensive prices and rude staff usually, got told once we couldn't seat inside if we didn't buy any weed. But if you seat outside during a sunny day it's beautiful because you can see all Rembrandtplein! We get 2 cokes and some strawberries with whipped cream, delicious! Fortunately staff is ok today so we stay there enough to roll and smoke 3 joints
We're now really sad as the next one is gonna be our last coffeeshop of this vacation! We take a litle walk from Rembrandtplein to the Greenhouse Centrum, take a seat outside and relax, i get a little scared seeing a girl almost passing out, the staff immediately gets her some water with sugar and she's fine shortly. Seeing someone feeling bad never happened to me and i've been in A'dam 15 times.
Back to the apartment to pack our things up, go take our car which was parked in Zeeland in a free parking space and get ready for tomorrow, we leave at 8 am.
Day12 (July 24)
We get up and get ready to leave, all our things are already in the car so we make it shortly to Central c/s which is the nearest one and the only one open at half past 8 in the morning i think, get 1,8 grams of Royal and start our trip back home.
While my boyfriend's driving i roll up 3 joints with the royal and the white widow left and we smoke them on our way home.
That was a vacation!!
About to post some pics!! Just need to figure out how to do that
