and when you've done the inner ring, may i suggest for your next venture that you head south on amstelveenseweg (s108) and just outside the a10 ringroad is Amsterdamse Bos, a big forest with playing areas and grasslands and lakes and hills and goats and even some highland cows

this place feels like being out in the countryside and yet is very close to town ... just roll up a few smokes and take some food and drink and you'll have a great day out imo

Thanks Stoned. I thought I recognized the name Amsterdam Bos. It was from a post on camp grounds. Looks like it would be a fun day as well. Add that to the short list of things to do. :)

Seriously, this is a true story, just ask Murph.....he'll tell ya everything I've just said is 100% true.....honest!. :D

@ Dirty Uncle Ron Amsterdamse Bos is well worth a visit as it het twiske (?) up to the north of a'dam - it's a big country park thing, loads of lakes, trees, play areas and a few beaches, another place to take a few spliffs and a picnic :)

A 'men's bike' has a bar across where you can crush your balls, thus making you a 'girl'. Fuck that, I only ride the girls version, known as Oma (grandmother) fiets.

There's nothing gezellig about those whiny scooters, the least the city should do is make them use the roads and keep them off the bike path.
