Friday
I woke up about half 7/ something like that.
I went downstairs just as the others from last night were coming back in.
I went to get some food and got In touch with JLH, he was down at club media,
I was about to go down that direction but we met back up to the hostel and went to Blackstar.
It's a nice place, good service, I got some SG Runts.
It's quite strong and sativa.
They have seating by the counter and seating downstairs, nice interior, modern.
When outside, it started to rain again.
Me and JLH went our separate ways, I was heading to the Rijks museum, had a walk around the streets.
I went to 420 for a coffee and a sit down later in the afternoon.
I had a look at the maps to plan my route around just to be sure I knew where I was going next.
Felt better.
Had some more SG runts.
Nice
I try get 2 large maybe 3 basic sized joints from a gram.
I use google maps and just follow the audio directions.
Works ok most of the time.
I want to try a bike next time, so I can get to more places quicker.
I ride a bike at home and I have always wanted to try the cycle routes in the Netherlands.
I like this guy's blog,
https://bicycledutch.wordpress.com/
I hadn't had hash for a while so I went to voyagers to get some of the gelato block.
If it's hash made from gelato the it's got to be ok, right?
It's nice and soft, real hash flavour and smell.
You can roll it into a sausage and put it in your spliff easy.
Combined with the guavalato, made it extra relaxing.
Later I went into 420.
Some older looking guys came in and sat next to me at the bar.
One of them Smoked a spliff, passed out and nearly fell off the stool.
Me and one of his friends had to grab him either side to stop him going over.
That was close.
He had one of them pre-rolled hash joints.
I don't think he had ever smoked before.
His friends seemed to be able to handle it.
Next time I am having a long tolerance break before I go,
so I can try and have a whitey in 420
He was the 4th person that day, the guy serving told me.
I had seen one go over in the corner earlier.
I have lost count at the number of people who have fallen over in 420.
Saturday
I had breakfast at the hostel and checked out.
Everything was good, it's a fun place to stay.
I think I may do it again.
I had a walk around, I wondered in a southern direction.
I stopped off at 420 on the way back to the train station,
to finish what I had left before heading to the Airport.
I had to get away before 1620
Italian Baby crying on the train to the airport
This is where the fun starts.
I go to check the departures board and look up my flight time.
Cancelled
My flight was cancelled?!
checked my emails and sure enough there was a message from EasyJet
,
telling me my flight had been cancelled.
After a small panic and a couple of failed attempts to get on the site due to my connection,
I found there were no flights that night.
I had to get the next flight, and the only one available was later at 1905 the next day
I tried to get the earlier flight which was about 1740 and the connection failed.
So then I wondered where the hell I was going to stay, then the easyjet site then directed me to choose a hotel at the airport for the night.
F**king hell.
I got a extra night,
free hotel, which wasn't so bad,
but that's how the budget went out the window a little.
They booked me into the Citizen at Schiphol.
This is mad,
because I stayed in there for a night the first time I was in the Netherlands, back in 2011.
14 years ago. It's weird thinking back, I only remember bit's of it.
I'm sure the space cake was stronger back then too.
Back then it was cheaper, at least I wasn't paying this time.
I get there and explain the situation, the guy was helpful, he showed me the system,
it's all self service, you programme your card yourself and everything.
I put my name in and like magic, I was checked in.
Easyjet were quick, 30 mins before I was having a bit of a anxiety attack.
It was like a cool futuristic room from a scifi movie but still it had a cosy feel.
I got my stuff out my bag, had a quick freshen up.
Then I had to work out what to do,
back to Amsterdam centraal?
....So I had to get a return train ticket.
I went back to Amsterdam centraal,
I found the trains ran through the night so I wasn't worried about stopping out late.
This is where I forget a few things.
I know I went to get something to eat and I when into Voyagers for a bit but I forgot what I had.
I think it was the guavalato again.
I was a bit lazy now, so I got a McDonalds.
I went to 420 later that evening.
"I thought you were going home?" The guy serving earlier was still on.
I had to explain about my flight, I got a coffee chilled out for a bit.
I checked the football, had a look on the news, just to see what was going on back home.
I wish I hadn't bothered.
I thought "at least I got a free night" (sort of)
It's ok in 420, sometimes people chat to you.
I met a few interesting people over the past few times.
Waited till it got a little dark and wondered towards Warmoestraat.
Baba's shop and Elements of nature on that street, I like checking them out.
I keep thinking I might try truffles one day.
It's funny walking around in the fresh air and suddenly you smell weed floating out of a coffeeshop.
It was later and I went back to centraal to get the train back to the airport.
I didn't feel like stopping out too late, since I had another day, I wanted to get the most out of it.
I must note here, that I am not very good at taking pictures, I just forget sometimes.
I have taken a few pictures on my last visits.
