Anyway
The date was aug 2002 and we paid £215 all in for the trip. We got there on a wednesday and were staying till the monday. This happened on the friday. We got up around 9am shit,shave and shower and out for brekkie. After hitting a few coffeeshops and walking the RLD endlessly the afternoon and early evening passed on and wee headed back to the hotel. On the way back we had 2 walk down the Leidsplein and happened 2 go into a smartshop. Me buying some mexican shrooms 50grams to be exact. I never knew wot these things done. I'd heard they made you feel good. Not like UK mushrooms at all in any way. They always made me ill.
We got back 2 the hotel room and put the cartoon channel on. Johhny bravo on most. I preceded 2 eat both bags finding it very hard going indeed. 20 minutes go by then an hour , then 2. All the time me thinking these things are a waste of money. I forgot how much i paid maybe 50 guilders. When all of a sudden i find myself unable 2 stop myself using my door card 2 push my loose change into an incredibly straight line. Or thats wot i told my mate at the time. 40 mins i sat doing that. All the time trying to make that line straighter and straighter. My mate tyring of my endless laughter and jibberish speach ushered me out the room and told me 2 explore. That i did. My straight line back in my pocket i took a wander back up 2 the RLD or i thought i was going 2 the RLD. Where my feet took me i dont know. I remember meeting people and trying 2 get into a club that was'nt open. Then seeing a tramp in a doorway smokin crack. All extremely weird and surreal. 4 or 5 hours i must have wandered going in and out of every alleyway looking in every window till i finally came 2 a stop. Suddenly looking round and realizing the effects of these thing are dying i found myself sat on a bollard in the middle of a square. The funny thing was all these guys walking about. They all looked the same dressed in black pvc chaps and white vests. All with there arses hanging out the back. Crazy man. I managed to find my way back 2 the hotel after a while. Got up the stairs up 2 the room door only 2 find i did not take my door key. My line of coins where in my pocket but no card. SHIT !! I started hammering on the door to no avail. My mate was out cold. 2 hours i sat out side the door waiting for a break in my mates snoring. Wot a night, Wot a city. Those days are gone now great as they were. Just read wot iwrote and it aint all that funny really. I think u had 2 be there.
Peace.
