Got on 1st sleasyjet flight out of gatwick @6:15am on the tuesday, flight was on schedule
it was a clear morning & managed to snap some cool pics of the greatest city on earth
once i got my bag i got on train to CS, gave paul a ring & told him that as it was such a lovely day id be walking to the apartment instead of getting bus, took about 30mins to get there (Westerpark) via Harlemerstraat
met him gave him the $$$ & set off for the albert heijn (about 7mins walk), got stocked up, & spotted a cs next door, checked out the menu & asked to see the menu
couldnt believe how cheap it was, had a look at the skuff
it was proper skuff (like the old days) @10e for 1.4g 
rolled a spliff & headed off for recycled rentals on spuistraat,
rented a bike for 5e a day, for 7days
i hadn't ridden a bike since i was about 13 (15years ago) i shouldn't have gone straight on the cobbles of the singel, im lucky i didnt kill myself, front wheel was shaking violently, managed to get it to harlemerstraat,
never been so happy to see tarmac, stopped into dampkring 2 & purchased 1g of caramello for 11e, asked to look at the jack herer but they were all out (guy said wait 20mins) so got a tea a went upstairs & sparked nederhash spliff
i hadn't had a single toke on any spliff since january so my tolerance was right down, also hadnt slept for approx 30hours, so the effect was f**kin strong, smoked it & purchased some lovely jack h
plan was to smoke some knockout jack & go to bed for a few hours before i met up with stu & nic the greek @8pm @de kuil
stuck sopranos on the dvd player & rollled some jack, after that i was ridiculously tired & stoned but really wanted some caramello, so i rolled 1, really really sweet tasting hash, finished it & started rolling another jack, i was now into my 3rd episode of sopranos, smoked half the jack joint & went to bed @6pm, i kinda knew i wouldnt be meeting stu,
woke up, looked at clock
it was 2am, id slept 8hours straight & i was awake a ready to go 
got up had shower & made some food, it was 3am & i started smoking the rest of the jack, then put on a movie & smoked the rest of my gears, 1spliff caramello & 2skuff j's, went back to bed @6 for 4hours,i have no idea what i did on this morning but heres my smokelist which gives an indication
1.2g of warm ears
1.4g nederhash
both from Wauw cs
heres the warm ears
went to basjoes in the afternoon, was quiet in there, got a g of amnesia haze
my list then says 1.2g of warm ears for 10e, so im assuming i went back to the appartment via Wauw,
stu's bday T&T was @ nes @6:30, got their about 7, im nearly always late, not because im trying to be fashionable, but because im always faffin around
saw gapie so headed for the table, introduced myself, good bunch of people, met DC for the 1st time, before i could even put my hand in my pocket he was handing me a Leffe (this continued for my whole trip) DC is an excellent host who made us all feel welcome, he had made these space cakes aswell, i didnt have any (never really been a big cake fan) but listening to DC telling us how much was in these cakes was mad, if you was to go into a cs to buy the amount of quality gear he'd put in these things it would have cost more than 200e
@about 10pm stu, nic & gapie headed off into the nite, i took a walk down to wok 2 walk, cant remember what i had, but took it back to nes to eat, after that i was ready for more Leffe
god i love this stuff,treetop went on his way about 11ish, he done amazing considering it was his 1st day & like me only smokes in dam, i continued with Leffe, & DC was telling me about his new steering wheel, not that i needed any more convincing how much i wanted this wheel, DC then hands me a bag of C13 Haze ice crystals to roll up, i pressed some until it was black & like goo, mixed it with some warm ears & nederhash & was blown away how strong that ice was, nes was closing now so i got on my bike with gapie & DC words ringing in my ears that the police DO pull cyclists over & fine em if their drunk,
next days 1st buy was again warm ears from wauw,
remembered i had to meet stu in basjoes @420, think i got their about 4:45, sorry m8
, anyways him & nic the greek were still their,i purchased some himalayan
sorry for the bad pic
after an hour or so treetop turned up, & he wasn't happy with the 2skin plate hed just made so i offered to make him a nice blunt L-plate
im not a big fan of blunts but this smoked perfect & wasnt at all harsh
at about 7 stu wanted to go hunters & me & treetop were going to go nes, as we stepped outside it was raining & treetop only had a shirt on so he headed on his bike to his hotel to get his jacket, i already had mine so biked it to nes for some Leffe, after about an hour treetop still hadn't shown up so i headed to home to chill,
about 9:30 i ventured back out, thankfully it had stopped raining,
stopped off at dampkring 2, got some SSH & some white choco, then headed back to basjoes for a few spliffs,
heres the SSH
&the white choco
after basjoes i went to burger bar for a black angus burger & fries, it was lovely, then headed back to nes for a couple beers, the computer was free so i thought id make u guys jealous by telling how lovely the Leffe & white choco was
next days 1st stop was paradox, i got a 12e bag of chocolope, i remember this being 1of the nicest grass of the trip, no pic though i smoked it all in there
then headed to basjoes, got some really really nice Royal Hasj again sorry no pic
no idea what the rest of the day consisted of, but i know i was back in basjoes @9pm ish, was reading Reg Krays Born Fighter, looked up & saw soulrider, him & Ray came over, after a spliff Ray said he was going to meet his friends at CS who'd come over for the weekend, id run out of weed so soulrider gives me a big bud of Old Amsterdams blueberry to roll up
soulrider then asks james for a bong, when james brings it out he smiles & asks if i know whos bong it is, i say no, he says it the USBL's & that he wants me to take a picture of him hitting it to show USBL its getting good useage,
the legendary bong
i ask james to sell me his own choice of weed, he brings me this over,
when soulrider smells it he asks james if its bas special, james just smirks, soulrider then says whatever that is i want some, i remember that because for someone who lives in dam to be impressed means its gotta be good
we were both hungry so i went to wok 2 walk & soulrider to wok 2 go, we then met back up in nes, Ray was also there with his pals, after an hour or so soulrider left to get some more weed, i dropped DC a pm & he came down for a smoke
next days 1st buy was more skuff from wauw,
then on the list is 2g black widow from katsu & 1.1g nepalese pollen also from katsu
heres the pics
also got some very nice mexi ice hash from bluebird, 0.9g for 12e (i think)
that night i of course head to nes, had a couple of Leffe's whilst watching some football highlights, DC comes down @about 11.30 with a smile on his face, he gives me a bag with a big block of C13 Haze ice, he asks me how much i want, i say wow thanks m8, il take a gram, he says perfect i could only get 4grams tnite so thats good for me aswell, i dont smoke any of this ice in nes, i know that i gotta ride my bike home & im already half pissed
this stuff is amazing,without any doubt the smoke of the trip, soooo fresh, it presses so nice aswell
the taste was so fruity & the haze smell & taste was like no other smoke ive had, & this stuff REALLY is 3tokes & put it down, intensely strong, which wears off after about 15mins, its definatly an up high, thanks for sorting me this DC
next day im riding into town when the i go past the local cop shop on Houtmankade & i spot the cop that was on that show amsterdam nights which was on bravo few years back, thought that was pretty mad,
went to central cs & got 3.4g of sahara 25e, also wanted to purchase some sputnik 4.1 for 25e but the guy wouldnt sell it to me saying it would push me over my 5g a day limit, i was shocked 1st time ive ever had someone say this, +not sure if theyve changed the rules in central cs but it was packed with people blazing away, i hinted if it was ok to roll up & then come back up he smiled & said we shut @9pm, i thought fair enough, got on the bike to basjoes, rolled some black widow i still had, then got some jack herer from their, i didnt rate it as highly as dampkrings version, had a couple more j's & headed to katsu, 5mins later i was there (damn i love this bike) i purchased 2g of so gouda, on my smokelist ive put 'so gouda - katsu- 2g - 5*****' so this stuff really was the nuts, also saw they sold maroc blonde for 5g for 20e, had a look & it was clean & remarkably fresh & bendy & for so cheap
thought f**k the sputnik &got this (they didnt have any problem with going over 5g)heres the so gouda (fat 2gs)
& the hashes, blonde maroc (top) sahara (bottom)
on the way back that evening i came across this lifting bridge on Van Diemenstraat, which was across the street from my apartment
that night on my way to nes i stopped off @ greenhouse on harlemerstraat & got some very fresh, clean & tasty king hassan supreme for a very reasonable 9.50e a gram
when i got to nes DC was sitting at the front table with SeniorHippies, i joined them & we got chatting, they got some really cool stories of drug taking in the 60s
& some more modern stories which are quite crazy (i 'l leave to them to decide wether they wish to share on here)anyways it was my last nite so had my Leffes & headed to basjoes for a couple, (after thanking DC for being such a great host throughout my whole week there, we really are lucky to have someone like that to greet us strangers to his bar)
last day
oh well wont be long till im back, head to the bike shop to hand it back, then walk to basjoes, roll up my last joint of ice (which james thought was a very nice iceolator) look at the clock its 4:10, i gotta be outta there at 4:45, spark the joint & get chatting to some polish guy whod id chatted to a couple days before called Volt??? who live there, at 4:45 i look at my phone & it says 4:35 i ask james if the clocks fast he says 10mins, i walk back to apartment & get their by 5:45, id stopped off to get some gifts not because im such a slow walker
i pack the last of my things & roll the LAST joint, a fat L-Plate of so gouda, paul knocks at exactly the time arranged 6:30pm, by 6:35 im walking towards de kuil with my case & so gouda joint, get there at 7 & have exactly half hour before i leave, get a cuppa & smoke & reminisce, 7:30 head to CS...
The End
