Re: One of the Trillion Questions I will have for you folk ;

Pre - shaped cones work well , my previous posts define my uselessness at rolling - however on my June trip I managed OK with Rizla KS blue slims to do some reasonble efforts (must have been cos I was wrecked) . However - in a few places - Paradox , Stix and Wortels in Haarlem - the tender took pity...

Re: Tourist/foreigner unfriendly coffeeshops

Really unfriendly guy in Aarden Vlissingen a year or so again - (backed up by sarcastic comments on my departure) - they can stuff the place for locals only as far as I am concerned (reviews say you feel as if you dont belong in this place - is so true) and very rare to the excellent and helpful sta...

Hotel Croydon - W/straat

Some of my son's friends have booked this place for a 3 day stopover on the start of their Interail trip - it really doesnt look at all promising , and they can surely do better.

Anyone got any practical experience of this estblishment ? Appreciate any feedback.

Re: pot, A(msterdam) to Z(wolle)

Interested in your views on the Purple Vlissingen - feel some more archive resarch needed.

Wietpass might be interesting too down there.

Re: Paris and tourist stuff...

Just watch your pockets on the Metro and especially the RER system - and dont buy anything to eat / drink around the Gare du Nord area - they have extortion down to a vey fine art.

Well worth even a flying trip - beautiful Haussman architecture.

Re: Paris and tourist stuff...

You wont have much time in a day and lots to see - however , get the 24 bus from Gare du Nord bus station which takes you right down to the Champ de Mars near the Eiffel Tower - reason for recomending is that the ride takes you right through the centre past the Opera etc - so you get to bag (visuall...

Re: Zeeland C/S's

The Breskens ferry is a nice trip - came back that way and the 42 bus to Brugges - then train home via Brussels. As my great great grandfather was a sea captain from V/en it sort of made sense to have a maritime interlude. (watch for searches there though - apparently they happen occasionally at the...

Re: Barcelona or Amsterdam?

Alternatively , consider Lisbon.

Really affordable , (and though I did not pick up - my son tells me its very easy to get hash almost anywhere !)

Watch your pockets on the 28 tram though (which is a must do ....)
