Hey - time has come for my (lost count about 50th) time to dam - time has come to begin my planning of the trip. We arrive August 4th and depart 8th August. 3 Full Days & Nights come on !

Couple of questions i'd love some help with if everyone could be so kind. Apologies if they have been covered previously.

I am staying on Kinkerstraat next to Kashmir Lounge (my local for the stay 1am close weekdays - lovely).

Planning a trip out of town one down with my girl...

First would be the artis - what tram from Kinkerstraat would i take ? ( Not biking that far ;-)

What tram/train number would i catch from Kinkerstraat to to Haarlem ( how long would this take?)?

I am planning on satying in Haarlem to check out willie's wortels then moving onto Zandvoort to try out the Yanks coffeshop and the Beach vibe. How long is it Zandvoort from Haarlem ? Is there a Train/tram that goes straight back to Kinkerstraat from Zandvoort?

Tarin url's to these destinations are much welcome ! ;-) or if someone with more experience than me could just state all replies that would be top ! ;-)

Please can you state running times of trains/trams/ the numbers and how long they take.

Thanks to anyone who replies to make my trip planning a little easier.

Anyone in town - give me a heads up & THANKS FOR REPLIES.

Hi,
use this site http://journeyplanner.9292.nl/ , put the address of your hotel and then the destination it do the rest.
You can choose between train, bus, boat, etc....

Haarlem is very nice and Zandvoort is only 10 min. by bus or train, but I prefer to go to zandvoort with bike from Haarlem because there is a beautiful street in a natural reserve.

I'm also in Ams from 4 to 12 august with my gf, check my post for a meet

You have been posted on the August Whos In Town page.

You can see who else may be in town during your stay.
There are Meet and Greets on the 6th, 7th, and 8th.


By default I link your posting to your profile page here on ACD.

https://www.coffeeshopdirect.com/forum/profi ... le&u=15405

I can change it to a web link ( myspace, facebook, personal page )
or an email address if you want.

Here is a Haarlem Map that shows 7 of the 15 coffeeshops there.
