Ghost's 420 - 2024 - Day 3 with pics

Post by Ghost »

Day 3 - 21/4/24 - I was going to have breakfast with @AzLaker + @SammySarah this morning but I needed to make a work related call which kept me at the hotel until just after 10am so I made use of the free breakfast that came with the hotel booking - 2 x yoghurts, a banana, 2 glass's of orange juice and a cup of T. Back up to my room and fill the vape, grab my stuff and chuck it in my rucksack, jump in the lift and then I am standing on the Damstraat.

I look left then right, the streets not that busy just yet and think which way shall I go to Bagheera or Siberia :?: In the end I make the decision to take a casual stroll down towards Bagheera, I enter and say a Good Morning to a guy and a lovely lady behind the counter who is very friendly, we exchange small chat and I order 2 x G - Lemon Bubble + 1 x G - GMO Rainbow 2 x G - Britcoin :mrgreen: :D drinks ordered and I head through to the seat just on the right as you enter, I settle get 'Herbie' out and place him on the table with my purchase's, I fill the vape and the Lady from behind the counter comes in and starts asking me questions about the frog so I explain who we are and about the Forum, we end up arranging a small display around him 8) :thumbup:

@Bedge arrives good mornings and fist bumps exchanged we settle in for a little session making small chat about UK medical and a couple on the next table make conversation with us about it, they are going home today and give @Bedge a rolling table :thumbup: 'what a lovely couple' After a good session we pack up our stuff and say our goodbyes and leave making our way towards Green Place to meet up with the rest of the crew 8)

We arrive at Green Place and find the ACD crew sat in the window seat.

I didn't purchase anything as we only stayed a short while before making our way down to an invited 420 session from our good friends and an excellent coffeeshop @Het Ballonnetje :D :mrgreen:

Front of shop

Florian greets us all warmly as we enter and ushers us all upstairs, we fill the upper floor and drink orders are taken and then Florian places baggies of smoke on each of the tables all the product looks top quality 8) :mrgreen: I pick a bag of something that caught my eye (can't remember what it was called though) :lol: and proceeded to load up my Venty and roll a nice fat blunt to get started, fire the vape up and draw a nice lungful of flavoursome vapour :D

ACD in the house 8) :mrgreen:

The chat is flowing around the room and the session is in full swing :mrgreen: food is brought upstairs and another drink order is taken, then Gapie arrives and makes his way up the stairs really slowly as he has turned up with a damaged ankle (later turns out it was broken) fair play for making it out to session - a true 420 legend there :mrgreen: :D

what a fabulous 420 session this has been again :thumbup: in a fantastic coffeeshop 8) :D after spending a good few hours here, we all say our goodbyes to our amazing hosts and head out to get the tram up towards the Spirit for the pinball comp or sort of.

Inside Spirit

We head inside and some of us make purchases from the menu 3 x G Purple Punch + 2 x G Blue Cookies and order drinks and we gather at a nice large table suitable for a 420 ACD Crew and another session gets under way, after a little while someone mentions that maybe we should get the comp under way so we all have an individual go and everyone says what they scored (if I did one again next year 1 person will be recording all the scores :wink:) I didn't even remember mine as soon as I walked away from the machine :lol: :lol: Talkrum was the eventual winner and took the ACD prize 8)

After a good session and everyone having a good time we pack our stuff up and make our way to Batavia to end the evening with a few beers and in my case a few rums :D

It has been another fantastic day with the ACD crew 8) :mrgreen: , the Balloon invite was fabulous :mrgreen: and I enjoyed talking with every one :thumbup:

An extra thank you to Florian and all the Guys/Staff @Het Ballonnetje for another fantastic 420 session, a 'Big :thumbup:' from all that attended this year :mrgreen:

It's fine mate. It's like watching a tv series back in the day. A bit of waiting is good rather than a binge.

I was hoping you'd be in town beginning of November. Enjoy your 4 days.

Good memories and nice to see some pictures in my favourite coffeeshop (Ballonnetje, of course). Thanks Ghost.
