Just a side note most hotels will let you store your luggage there for free. That has always been my travel plan, drop luggage at hotel and come back at check-in time.

Yeah your hotel The armada will let you throw your bag in the corner until check in time........and will also let you do the same on your departure.............just a heads up for your next visit
Just want to say how much I enjoyed your travel tale. Man someone should have been filming you, it just sounded so funny. Classic top notch first hit in town, I think you handled yourself brilliantly.
(starting where day one left off, ie crashed out sleeping )
I wake up my visions groggy, my head feels like its being juiced and for the first few seconds i have no clue where the fuck i am, other than its not my bedroom.
I focus onto something making sound, yep, that sound, its music isn't it, ive heard it before what is it, arhhhg its clicked it is the Layer cake soundtrack, coming from my phone.
Suddenly like being hit by a lightning bolt, i realise where i am. I rub my eyes to make sure, i take a good 270 degree look around the room and yep i can confirm i am in Amsterdam, the feeling that follows this is a good one , nothing to do, except smoke and have fun. Its that feeling of freedom, relaxation and happiness.
Then i remember last night and i can't help but laugh slightly and grin some of the bits of what i did in the RLD make me cover my eyes , i cannot fucking belive i am in Amsterdam having the time of my life, and yesterday seems so surreal but its nots, its not a dream, its fucking real !!
Right enough remincising about last night ( but my god was the RLD crazy !) look at the phone to switch the music of and check the time, ahhh, only 8:30 am but it feels like i've slept for longer, enough time to get showered up and go down for breakfast. God my head is pounding.
As i get out of bed and head towards the shower, i pause, turn around and head for the desk instead. Right, i should brush my teeth, have a shower and get going. The inner ganja fiend inside is saying " what, shower, brush, no love for MaryJane ? build a spliff andthen start the day. FOOL"
So i do build a spliff, only to think fuk this get hydrated then spark up. So i jump into the shower swith on the warm water and let the water rip.
"Muthafukkabollockstittwat WANKER" or something along the lines was what i yelped, as the freezing cold water bitch slapped me awake into reality.
So Fucking cold that water, i could not breath having a shower. Nothing like drowning in your shower with freezing water, tell you what though, the headache has gone, im alert and i feel hydrated. I get changed do my brush and then spark the big spliff of haze silver pearl.
I then head down to breakfast, according to my clock its 9:30 more than half an hour left till my hotel stops serving breakfast.
I go down to the lobby go to get breakfast, only for the hotel recepcionist to sy breakfast is stopped serving, What, it closes at 10 i reply. He replies "its 10:30"
"bollocks" did i change my clock forward, nope, humiliated, hungry and slightly vexed, i go back to my room and build a big phat L of G13, i need to get high man !!! i open a redbull can, this will serve me till i eat ! Man that blackwidow is wierd, i can hardly taste anything but my gawd its hitting me, my eyes are lowering to their " were open but we aint gonna help you see shit" mode
Right its about 11:20am , the mission for today is simple, find atleast 5 coffeeshops get some killer shit, get high and then towards the end of the night head over to the RLD.
I leave my hotel, shit its pissing it down, no biggie. I walk towards the tram stop, i look at my tram pass then i check the ACD map, where should i go ? hmmmm Basjoes ? melllow yellow ? ? cannot decide. I wait about 5 minutes when i think let me get something from Barneys lounge, like 5 mins down the road .
So i get to Barneys the usual budtender is not there, bummer. But still i go to the counter and ask whats good again. After a brief history lesson , i bugged the guy for info and he gave me infomation overload. I purchased, 2.0 G of Dr Grinspoon for 34e and 2.0 G of G13x Haze at 26e and one mango milkshake.
I sit down at the back of the shop and soak in the cool ambience and start building a big spliff of Dr Grinspoon. I spark it and smoke it, it tastes okay but i can't feel anything spectacular happening certainly not the potent thing its made out to be. Funny thing though, i need a shit again !!! badly !! I ask the budtender could i use his facilities , i Know man but fuk me i got to drop a bomb man otherwise it will be messy !!!
Use his facilities, dam that was a clean toilet, man that shit was awesome i feel so light, wait a minute am i rocking slightly, is that the DR.G hittin me !
i come out of the toilet to go back to my table, only to find all the tables full and some guy building a spliff at my table, he has not even touhced my spliff. I ease my self to my table, the guy looks up and says sorry, i say no problem. I spark the spliff have a few tokes and offer the guy opposite a toke, he refuses, i say nah its cool ,he take it.
This guy was pretty good looking ( no im not gay ) he was dressed with a cool Leather Jacket and had a smart side parting. When he shook my hand and said hello, i instantly knew where he was from, France.
This guy honstly was like the Fonz but slightly cooler with a better accent and smoking some blue cheese !
"alllo my name is Marco, i am on brake , um i smoking quickly, huh go wrok afteir nextdoor, just have quicker smoker"
Holy shit this guy is fucking uber cool, he gives of this dnt care about anything attitude .
i ask him a few newbie q's but he is really polite and answers all my questions.
We chat for 5 minutes and smoke each others spliffs and he says i will love Amsterdam and to pay a visit to him at his restaruant nextdoor. I bid him farewell and am about to go myself , when this amazing looking girl walks in , i mean amazing, fair skin, curves in the right places and a warm smile plus a very nice short dress.
I decide to just chill a bit , you know like you do, i hope this girl builds a spliff not on the bar counter but on my table ( its the only one empty ! ) That when i start to realise, i am fucking high !!!, my mouth is pasty, i've no aftershve on and god damn i've just been for a shit, please dont let that girl sit hear, god, please no.
Im thinking oh shit, shes walking towards my table. Man im getting nervous, i smile a kind of ghey retarded smile ( dude, im baked and nervous + theres a hot chick in front of me ). She smiles a wonderful smile back and she points to the seat, i say, yes sure no one here . She sit down , i smile for about 10 seconds then say
"allo" (why the fuck did i say Allo, i am not marco, im not cool, what if shes french , arghhhhhhh gimp what a fucking gimp ) she replies back hi and offers a handshake, that accent, its american, fucking way cool !!
im still nervous as hell but the nature of the Marjuana means people get on and get high ! As the conversation goes on i find my self more and more relaxed and high, and i can feel i ihave one of those super retarded gay smiles and i am just focusing on her face, i can't hear shit apart from her voice, i can't see past her face and my high is just getting wasted due me focusing on her.
Theres a spliif in my hand but i am not even attempting to smoke it, im kind of dumbstruck as to how beutiful this girl in fornt of me is , she is very pretty. We talk about marjuana, america, and life in general
I ask her does she live here or she on holiday, shes on holiday with a few of her mates, her names Melissa and shes 23 and single ! Fucking result !
To tell you the truth thats all i could remember and her. I was slighlty smitten, by the end of about 30 mins i swear i was in love ( im a old romantic at heart, give me a spliff and i fall in love !), maybe its the Ganja, it felt like i only talked to her for about 4 mins but in realty it had been a half an hour.
Before i say or did anything stupid again, i ask her how long she is in town for and what area, she says for 3 more days and she is staying at some hostel round the corner ! I asked does she come here alot she replies yeas in the morning afternoon and night, i say it would be cool to see her later on. she replies shes in here from around 10:30 with her mate, she replies it would be good to meet up later aswell.'
Trying to stay cool i reply sure i should be able to make it around that time, i say bye and walk out without looking back.( Inside i feel like jumping and screaming and shouting Wahoooo but calm down lad, shes only meeting you later and thats not even definate. I don't know which got
me higher in this case the DR Grinspoon or the beautiful Melissa ! i'l call it a draw !!
Right, where was i , oh yeah, dam, get that girls face out of your head, we need to intake greeens !! Right of to Melissa , i mean BASJOES !!!
i look at the map and realise its basically down the road over a bridge and a bit that way ( points to the lft ) Im so high i decide fuk the tram, its time to do the crab/monkey hybrid with a little bit of moon walk ( ie your feet are just dragging on the floor ! )
Anyhows in a really good tourist high, ie im taking everything in, the noises , the buildings, the view , the winds, the people
keep walking down halfway through this i decide, this was a bad move i should have caught the tram i am way to high. Anyhow i keep wobbling along, i stop beside a canal and look around. I notice a blue sign just furthur down, what does it say, bj, blues , i insitigate furthur, it says Basjoes. Inside my head i do a little Bill and Ted rifff "EXCELLENT" !
I walk up to the shop , i see the entrance and i walk in. Little did i know this shop was going to be the reason why my report/notes would slowly cease. You see i wanted to go to Basjoes for one reason only, the infamous "Terminator" , i wanna see what all the hype is about!
I walk in and i head for the bar, there are a few tourists around and there is some really relaxing reggae on. The budtender is helping some other customer, but he still acknowledges me with a "helllo brutha" i nod and say hi. I look at the menu on the desk and go to the weed section, some nice weeds at ok prices and i spot the terminator.
The budtender comes over and ask how could he help, i replywhats the strongest weed you have to smoke, he says the cheese, i say to him basjoes special, he smiles at me in a kind of way as to say " ah so you know about this place! " The budtender opens up to me, i get his name James and he's really intrigued about what i want to smoke and whether i want to get high ! i say of course.
I buy 2.0g of cheese and 2.0 of Basjoes special.
He says build a spliff and call him when im done. Odd, this is the 1st budtender who told me build a spliff and call him. Anyways slightly baffled i order a drink of Looza mango and sit back at my desk. the other tourists are looking at me kind off odd as they were also kind of intrigued by why James replied come back when a spliff is built.
Spliff built, i call James, he say come up here man. He then says, you came to dam to get high Fly , hey mon ? im nodding like fuk yeah mon !!! He asked can i handle strong shit, i say i hope so and LOL !! He smiles and tells me light hte spliff. I light it, James behind the counter pulls out a brown wrapping paper with some brown/green gooo/oil shit. Im kinda of perplexed, is this the Terminator or some next shit ! anyhow he ask for the spliff i hand it to him and he pulls out a little metal knife and gets some of that goo and dabs about a cotton bud point onto my spliif, that shit starts bubbling. Im thinking in my head, fuk off!, this is like crack or that black goo shit from the x-files. He says smoke it smoke it. I hesitate then grab the spliff. ( im thinking fuk it, this is why i came Dam lets see this shit )
Burn one, damn that tasted lovely, exhale, woahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, i can feel the chemicals in my heads spinning up to 1000rpm like a washing machine drum.
I stare at james in amazement as to what shit is this, he is staring back at me with a huge smile/grin, no words are saidby me but James replies slowly, "the Terminator, biggest high in the world he says. I say nothing, just put the spliff back to my lips .
Burn two, whoaah oh shite, did my legs just give up , oh shit !!!! James tells me go sit down and relax i got all the time to chill.
Burn three, now on this exhale i got the full effect .
Remember that feeling you get when a plane is taking off at about 45 degrees + and you feel light headed, well i was sitting at a bench in Basjoes, in the pouring rain about 1:30ish on the 23rd july thursday and i was getting the exact same feeling except this one was giving me the highest of highs, i felt so fucking high, i started convo with james from my bench to his counter, ignoring everyone else around the shop, my guy was really laughing and being veru cool with me. I asked him how much knowing the price he goes 50 euro, 1 g. I got up went to his counter and asked him for a drink of fanta, then aasked for 2.0g of Terminator, he was quite shocked and told me i would not need that much, and that this stuff can killl he said it was about 80% THC !
I said dnt worry i want to fly back to europe using his bench and the terminator, he just laughed.
Unknown to me the whole shop was intrigued as to what the fuk i was smoking and why James was in a good mood. I had about 7 people peering over my shoulder at mymspliff and the terminator, James explained it to them, i tried one better, i handed half the spliff to this young european guy next to me and told him SMOKE SMOKE GOOD SHIT!. He did about 4 minutes later every customer in this guys shop is tripping, coughing, laying dead at the bar/benches LOL too funny.
James told me come back later and i was welcome to smoke all of my shit in his shop everytime! How fucking cool is James .
Im about as high um 20000ft, it was raining but to me it felt like the sun was out and that the rain was just rays of the sun. Man i was tripping. I don't know how the fuk i got to Mcdonalds but i did according to my notes and then from there i got tram 4 to my hotel. Notes also indicate i smoked 3 spliffs, 1 cheese, 1 basjoes special and haze silver pearl all with the Terminator, man that black oil is the shit.
I was fucking high and my lungs can feel the punishment of the terminator, damn this is the most potent shit i ever smoked !! I gotta stop this crap i gotta visit other shops !!
Im telling you that terminator is like crack, all i wanted to do was finish that first 1g of Terminator off, as it stands that 1 had about 3 cocktail sticks tips worth of terminator used , DAMN !!!!! this shit lasts forever !!
Right time for a cold shower im too stoned to do anything, in the shower, nearly drown with the freezing water again, but man i need to wake up, i still feel fucked but i need to see mellow yeloow !! I build a journey spliff of G13 i love that shit !
go outside the hotel sit on the bench and spark that spliff, man i am wasted but i am loving Amsterdam. Man the people here are really friendly and welcoming, the country is clean and the attitude is so chilled.
Man i'd love to do a Andy and live here ! As i am stoned on this bench i think so much shit in 5 minutes i think my brain has been fried !!
Spliff finished its time to hunt down mellow yellow, eat something and hopefully meet the wonderful Melissa later..
will update in a bit peeps, thanks for reading!!!![/u]
