'BEEP BEEP BEEP' the alarm goes at 4.15am and I lean over and whack the off button, drag myself out of bed and flick the kettle on, quick shower and a banana with a cup of T and I am heading off towards the airport for my early morning flight into Amsterdam 'Yippee it is 420 week and the annual ACD Crew meet up'
The airport is not to busy and I am through passport and baggage quickly and without any disruption I am sat upstairs having another brew with 'Herbie' the Frog the ACD Mascot for the week (name thanks to @Sammy
) a short wait and I am boarding for the short flight over. A quick up and down and I am now walking up the concourse towards passport control at Schipol to realize that I had just walked passed a massive queue 
after much waiting around and moving of queues I am finally through and sat on the train towards Central station running a little later than I expected.ACD Mascot waiting for the flight.
The train pulls in at the station and I disembark towards the station exit to be hit with more building work, I end up heading out the back of the station and strolling through the underpass towards Het Gelderse my 1st Coffeeshop and meet up of this 420 trip
I am a little stressed at this point and just want to sit down drop this weighty bag down and have a vape. I head in to Het Gelderse and see a friendly face sitting at a table @DocGongzo we shake hands and say hello's and I drop my bag and make my way towards the counter to obtain a drink and make a smoke purchase which were :
Sativa - 2G Silver Haze - a nice example with that Silver aroma and taste excellent daytime smoke 1G Lemon Haze - went straight into the Venty Vape and was a good 1st smoke to get me to unwind
Indica - Runtz Og Zkittles
Doc and myself are having a chat when @Bedge walks on in and says hello, grabs himself a drink and smoke and takes a seat with us, we chat and smoke/vape for a while and @OccansionalBowl then shows up and we continue the session while watching the weather out of the window. Thanks for greeting me into town guys
the weather window opens up and we pack our stuff and make our way towards my hotel so I can get rid off this bag and check in if possible, all checked in and now good to go we head off towards Kadinsky to meet the rest of the crew.Het Gelderse Session - DocGonzo Bedge OccansionalBowl Ghost

We head off towards the Rum Barrel for a couple of drinks and a bit of Tapas after a short walk we arrive and are seated at the tables that I had reserved for us all, we order our drinks and a variety of tapas dishes to share per table. This place is all about sharing tapas dishes and good conversation with good drink, there is always a good atmosphere here
at our table @Bedge Gapie Ghost we order up 3 Gun Powder Rums and tray of mixed crouqcretes and a couple of barrels of curly fries. The Gunpowder rum was quite strong and the tasty bites were good, especially as I still hadn't had anything proper to eat all day We settle up the bill and head towards coffeeshop Best Friends which was a quick in and out and we are back on the tram heading towards the Dam.Gun Powder Rum
