Day 2 Wednesday
I woke early as is my habit. Up around 0600. Wife and friends all sleeping. Make coffee and have another bowl of Panama mixed w/crystal. Listen to some jazz on earphones so as not to awaken friends. Think I could have had music blasting and they would not have woke up. It is a beautiful day sunny and bright. Have another bowl. Wife up at 0830. Friends finially start to show some signs of life around 1130. Time to hit the road. Go to BlueVelvet and buy gram of JellyHash, very nice, also a gm of white widow. Hang there for awhile and then go to PinkFloyd and purchase some Buddah's Sative. While at P.F. the budtender realised I was an American ( don't know how ) and put a cd on from a blues musician from Seattle who played acoustic guitar, nice music.

0600 is way to early to be getting out of bed when on holiday. I would have been more like your friends who got up at around 1130 (although the maids have usually kicked me out of my room by that time of day)
Nice bit of "customer service" by the tender in Pink Floyd. Maybe he hasn't had many Americans in recently and was wondering where you had all gone after 4/20.
Looks like you had quite a collection of bud going there and it was getting bigger.
Hope you managed to dispose of it in the appropraite way.

Sounds like a great trip you had. Thanks for the reports so far.
On the subject of waking up early - On my previous trips I have made an effort to set my alarm for no later than 8am. It was great to have a morning smoke and walk before a coffee (generally in the Coin) when the streets are generally only busy with early morning stoners (like myself) or people going to work - a very unique and peaceful atmosphere. Only problem was that by 5pm I was in much need of a 1 or 2 hour sleep in order to freshen up for the night ahead!!!
The latest trip was different when I decided on setting my alarm for 10-11 am. I felt guilty everyday for missing any precious time in Amsterdam but was able to last throughout the day a little easier. Would prefer to get up early next time though.
Looking forward to your 3rd day Twitch.

sorry if it's drifting off topic a little but going back to the early wake up... I'm all for that the more I think of it... a late afternoon 5pm-ish nap would make it feel like you had two days in one when you went out that evening... Sounds good to me.

Yes, the good old get up early and kip in the afternoon versus the lie-in and stay out all day debate!Rezin_8_ed wrote:sorry if it's drifting off topic a little but going back to the early wake up...

Both have their downsides. A kip in the afternoons is the business but I'm always worried about sleeping too long and missing most of the day, but on the other side of the coin, the moment I wake up I've gotta get out and about.
However, this time around I tried for the middle ground. Getting up and out before 10am and trying to stay out but it meant by midnight (1am at the latest) I was ready to call it a night.
You can tell I've gone through this time and time again.

Just remember that the original writter of this post ( that would be me) is 60 years old and takes a nap no matter where he is or what time he gets up. It has been my habit for many years to awaken early, cann't seem to break it, and as I have gotten older the nap just sort of crept in

From a fellow early riser. There ain't no time to be wasted while you're in the beloved city of Amsterdam. For many of us it comes but once a year.
Great write up!
Sorry we missed ya's at Amnesia upon arrival. Reason being a clearly stoned detour on the train back from Haarlem. See the upcoming trip reports. Hopefully next year mi amigo... Sounds like a few other folks made it anyhow.
Toke ON!
