Re: Zeeburg camping

Wow, has it really been 11 months since my trip?!. Anyways I stayed here August and thought to add a mini review on the place based on my limited notes, photos and memories, for which the photos certainly help with the memory lol. Well, fucking loved the place, everything I expected and more on top....

Re: How long until...

Just like being a kid again on xmas eve the night before a Dam trip with the excitement and expectati...

Re: Hidden Gems

I'm still in 2 minds weather to do a Haarlem trip or spend a day visiting some very outer Amsterdam coffeeshops either rarely or never mentioned or reviewed. I know about the 3 near the Zeeburg camp (where I'm staying later this week) so will try them. But there are also several far to the west I h...

Re: How long until...

Re: Betty Boop Too

The shop is called Betty two, not Betty Boop two. There has never been a Boop associated with this shop. Er no, the latest menu pic (a link about a dozon posts up) clearly shows the shop is called "Betty Boop Too". So the "Boop" name is associated with the place even if only mor...

Re: Bringing beers and food items back to the UK on megabus?

Just to fill the excess suitcase space, so as above certainly no mega haul of anything. More a nice selection of sweets and snacks for back home for family and probably at best 20-25 bottles\cans of beer. Done the customs at Calais in he past many years ago. 1 poor lad back then got stripped searche...

Re: Trip from last year

Nice vid, was expecting more a slow fade from pic to pic. But this was much more suited for a Dam video :)

Re: How long until...

But yeah about some of the outer coffeeshops, there seems to be 3 close to the Zeeburg camp to the East and several far out to the west that seems to be on a tram route. So might spend a day doing some of those if Haarlem dont come off.

Re: How long until...

10 days and counting, hoping for some decent weather to get more out and about and a trip to the de pipj coffeeshops :) Thoroughly recommend a bike there Dave. Hoping for sunny weather too for biking round the remote but great shops. Doubt I'm brave enough for a bike, may well stick to the trams as...

Re: Where to stay?

I never knew about the tram from the square, I always took the 26 outside CS and that was 4 stops.. If I fancied a walk over the bridge at zeeburg I'd them take the 7 to leidsplein but that was a long journey. Your actually right, I assumed you might have wrongly been referring to a daytime bus ser...

Re: Prix d'Ami

It's funny, been here twice, knew in advance it has an upstairs yet never noticed the upstairs whilst in there smoking either time!. Must be 1 of those things about Dam that catches you out each time for no obvious reason!.
