08-420s 420 in Amsterdam

[08-420]

Day 1 - April 18th
I arrive at Schiphol at about 10. After taking the train the first stop is Voyagers where I buy some King Kong and one gram of OG18 Dry sift. I make a joint and soon I'm all back. I haven't smoked for two months and it hits me with a very big effect. The rest of my trip is kind of blurry, so everything from now on might be completely wrong. That's why I post one day at a time, so I get a chance to figure out what happened
After Voyagers I decide to go to Hugo de Groot since I haven't been there before. I get great service and a few grams of their Cheese (which was one of my favourite smokes this trip, and €8/g!).

Around 1 it's about time to check in to my apartment. First impression is great, what a good location and nice building. But, then I climb the stairs and get in to the actual apartment. It smells. The sun shines so bright that I see all the dust travelling around. Bathroom is nice though, so I will survive. Just crash here on the night...
At 3 I get to the T&T at Amnesia where I meet up some fellow ACD'ers... can't for the life of me remember what I bought or what happened next. By this time I have some 15 baggies on me. Next thing I remember is a great time at Nes before going to Basjoe.

Sometime during the night after stumbling around the entire centrum area I get back to the apartment. Now I notice how squeaky the floor is, every move I make is sure to be heard by the other guests. Getting up to the sleeping area is almost impossible, plus the matresses are dirty... I try to forgot the heat and all the insects, turn on the a/c which sounds like an airplane, cover the sofa in towels and fall asleep there...

TwoCanucks, thank you! You really should. It's not that far... Ten minutes from 1e huip, maybe fifteen from Paradox.

luvtick, unfortunately there wasn't that many favourites this time. But a few! You'll see
I'm pretty sure I'll turn up in November. Just checked and the awesome apartment I rented last time is available!

Day 2 - April 19th
After a few hours I wake up, can't sleep anymore. A quick shower and a check if I could connect to internet, I could not. At 9 I hit the streets and walks towards Voyagers hoping to find something to eat. I do not, so instead I go directly there for the t&t at 10.



The Pijp Express crawl was supposed to go from Greenhouse Centrum but I'm sure we didn't make it there. We run a little late and only have time to visit a few of the intended shops. I buy something at Club Media and Katsu, but it was nothing special otherwise I would have remembered it.



My feet are hurting like hell so I leave the group at Katsu and starts heading towards the centrum area. The blisters are making me walk funny and now I'm beginning to feel pain on the side of my foot so I sit down alongside some canal for a couple of hours. It was great, the crazy warmth, smoking joints, watching boats, drinking beer...

At 8 there's a t&t at Basjoes so of course I get there. I can't remember much but it was a great time alternating between Basjoe and Nes for beers.

Around midnight I feel the craving for something stronger... I decide to go to the Bushdocter to buy some of their more expensive stuff. Half an hour later (it should take like 10 minutes from the apartment...) I get there and purchase 1 gram of their Gran Daddy full melt and some Casey Jones (which was another of my favourites actually, or I might have just been surprised by the quality since I haven't heard much positive about this shop). On the way back I grab a döner which is finished by the time I get back. Then I smoked until I could sleep...



The Gran Daddy fullmelt was to my liking aswell. Should be more of this kind of stuff around. €55 for a gram hurts your wallet, but for me, no weed was truly mindblowing this time. I get the effect since I haven't smoked it two months, but it just kinds of makes me retarded on the outside. Inside I feel too normal

[Dimon]

Amazing pictures! Thanks for the effort.

[geoffk]

Day 3 - April 20
I managed to sleep longer than expected, so I miss the Popeyes t&t. Because my apartment was along the Kloveniersburgwal I go straight to Green Place where I'm soon joined by the rest of the gang. Being already stoned as hell I keep no track of my purchases, if it's any good I'll remember it was my reasoning. Green Place provides us with a couple of mega joints which were very appreciated. I buy some Lemon Larry and Lemon O.G for later. Turns out to be as tasty as in November but with a lesser high.



There's too many people at Dampkring so a few just do a buy and fly. I don't, I keep on the street making and smoking a few joints. We go to the Koningsplein to make the mass wave, apparently we were a bit early. My feet hurt so much I didn't pay much attention...

Then we are off to the 420 Café which of course also is packed. Half the groups enter and the other half goes to the bar next door. I sit down at the bar, have a couple of beers and some joints while waiting for the clock to be 4:20. Suddenly it's time, a huge cheer comes out from the 420 Café and I light my 420 Joint packed with Cheese, Gran Daddy full melt, OG 18 dry sieve, kif and some manali style hash.

We get to the Nes where vaporizer bags are consumed, joints are smoked. I have a few beers and some rum to go with that. I can't remember from when but I have some Royal Hash from Basjoe, truly impressive hash that. At 8 we get back to Basjoe, and after a while some of us return to Nes... and then back to Basjoe...



I try avoid naming people because I'm sure I got half the names wrong and the rest mixed up... plus I only got the real names of a few And I know my travelougue doesn't stand up well compared to others but I do it mainly for myself

Tomorrow it's about the boating trip, some good photos from there.

[travelling high]

Awesome read and pics..Thanks for taking the time

[Dave J]

Excelent reading, everyone sure seems to have had a great time this trip. Were you the guy who was nodding there head passing the joints round by any chance? lol.

Must start on my report tomorrow but just gotta sort me pics out first.
