this is a repost so the emoticons didnt transfer so if you see a word that doesnt fit it probally was one of them.

could barely sleep the night before finnally it was here my trip to the dam my flight wasnt till midafternoon so i spent my morning arm deep in instalation digging up some cable wires...what a great precursor to my trip. flight to houston was good so was the flight from houston to amsterdam. landed in amsterdam what a great feeling and for once i was one of the annoying people who block the aile way trying to squeeze out before everyone else got almost to passport control and some dutch police put up a rope to block everyone and the start calling for some missing passengers was sorta worried there for a second but after about five miniutes the rope was down and the guards walked off now went and picked up my stuff and off to by a trainticket hoped on a train destined for UTRECT central station got off said what the fuck purchased a ticket to amsterdam central finally got there was fuckin exstatic. now to find my friend afer calling him i figure out his train is late and his girlfriend is in tow that sucks because now we have to find her a room since she apparently decided to come last miniute! Confused well had a few moments to burn so went and made my firest purchase at my first coffeeshop ever route 99 c/s same budtender as 2 years ago still nice bought some orange bud which sucked i mean it looked the business covered in crystals nice smell and all. upon breaking it up the weed felt very moist more so than the rest of the weed from the trip didnt get much out of a pure joint of the stuff it actually to a joint with a gram of this stuff and a lil bit of hash before ireally got anything out of it. met up with my friend with his girl in tow they found a hotel after waiting for a good bit they got an excellent location a stones throw away from de kuil. i on the otrher hand was out past leidsplein so i went on a mission to find the place after ten miniutes i gave up and hailed a cab which was only about 11 euros and actually gave me a chance to see a bit more of the city got to the hotel abba checked in. was pissed off i had to eat the cost of that double room but fuck it went in sorted the tv out and rolled to fatties smoked up got a wee stone on and proceded to walk back to dam square to met my friends something went terrible wrong here because for the next 2 and a half hours i was lost when i finnally gained my bearings i was behind central station then it took me another halfhour to get to the other side when i finnally made it to dam square there was enough time for a quick snak before the dekuil meetup i got some mcdonalds i think. then went to the 420 cafe got some white widow and had the budtender load up a vapo bag for me and my crew this vapo bag was a fuckin lovely experience had me quickly twisted thepfy and jbomb showed up and hey guys it was great meetin up with yall even if i talked a lot Embarassed tried some of jbombs shiva had a nice taste couldnt tell if it got me high as the widow had me wasted chilled and shot the shit for a while then left on out got some more mcdonalds and walked about a bit then said bye to my friend and his g/f got my strippencart and went on to leidsplein walked around a bit then went up the street to my hotel stopped by the night grocery picked up some sweets and went up to the room smoked a lot of my weed that i had ate some of the food and past out Very Happy

it was a pretty good first day actually saw more of the city on that afternoon then i did on the rest of the trip! the money thing sucked cause i had eevrything mapped out and that was an extra 160 euros that coulda gone to other stuff. also i left out that i went to bluebird and picked up some super silver haze and a preroll of cheese both excellent smokes. stopped at niewmarket for a wee while and smoked a joint of that super silver haze at sensi coffeeshop which is actually one of my favorites as theres no weed buying pressure. man this memory shit is gettin to me im gonna have to get this report done soon! Laughing

day 2
well this day started at about 5:00 am ams time but at that point i smoked my self silly past out and awoke just after breakfast. thats the only thing i didnt like about the abba there breakfast time was 8-9:30 which sucked in comparison to GHE 9-12 but i guess GHE is catering to stoners but dont get me wrong the abba is a great hotel and it forces you to see more than just the centrum! made it down to dam square called my friend they were just gettin ready so stopped at de kroon cause dekuil was closed and purchased the best hash of my trip nepal 14 euro for like a gram-2grams not really sure anymore but it was well worth it! i almost got to high from that stuff had to let it burn in the ash tray for a moment but soon finished it my friends came in then we went for a stroll ended up near smokeys coffeeshop and went to the cocos for a couple pints that was right there near it then made our way to wok to walk where i got some really good food then made our way back to dekuil area where my friends apartment was and went up and chilled out a bit finished off the super silver haze from bluebird the nepal i had got earlier that morning and a lil of the white widow i had from de kuil left out and walked back torwards neiuwmarket where friends g/f found about to grams of pot that someone dropped in front of bluebird what a find it was nice and crystally was pretty mellow but hey it was free and that makes it really great. headed over to what turned out to be the spui area took some nice dusk pics and came across de dampkrig which was packed to capacity! went and bought some riffman hash aiasha which was quite lovely and the NYC dieasel which had such a scent my nose stayed in the bag until it was smoked up! got a few more hamburgers and chilled around with friends some more walked out on rokin and found a bar playing a chrisrock movie in english sat down there for the movie and had a couple pints of heiniken perfect end to the evening i then made my way to leidplein via tram did the obligatory lap around that area and retired for the evening to smoke up until i drifted off to dreamland. there was a channel that seemed like a dutch version of fox as the played mostly fox programming which mad me feel a bit at home every night

days 3-5
well wed morning i remember really well went over to meet up with friends they were still gettin ready so went to wait at coffeeshop ben which was basically directly below there apartment went in there and it was a nice enough place got a spa red and ordered some ice which was a decent smoke the menu said 10 euro but he sold it to me for 12.50..... Confused ( on the inside i said fuck it dont get into any shit in mokum ) loaded up a bowl of the ice got a nice we buzz and waited for friends the came and ordered some coffes and we headed out torwards barneys for quite a while circled back and decided to eat at one of those italian restraunts my friends g/f ordered ham salad and got tuna salad sent it back when she got it again she got tuna salad with slices of ham covering the tuna... Confused friend got into an arguement with the waiter who actually ended up being spanish. we left and kept walking ended up at grey area which was a great down home place i picked up some 4077 which looked great but didnt pass the pepsi challenge!( it was actually probally really good stuff but when you smoke but just couldnt cut through the high i got from everything else) preceded to walk around i think we went through the spui area at one point my stoner hunger started to come back headed up rokin and ducked into a sde street went to a restraunt which was so dutch it was great a lil gem didnt really like the chicken but i would definately go back! wish i knew the name of the place so i could tell all of yall. my friends g/f didnt want him in the redlight district so i played the devils advocate and made up some mysterycoffeeshop we had to find so we headed out to bluebird where i got some starwars then turned back around walked about till we were in the main bit od the redlight saw some absolute stunners......and some ladies that werent so stunning Wink . took a piss at a urinor which wasnt what i expected ended up being a small hole in the ground kept walkin till we got to the old church stoped in my friend used the can and i bought i nlx/haze joint which was sorta nice ( the prerolls never seem to be packed tight enough for me ) headed back to friends hotel for some more smoking then went and caught my tram home once home i ate hamburgers and the rest of my chocolate smoked weed watched the OC past out.

thurs
awoke late and missed my haarlem crawl....sorry bout that Benno. dragged out of bed made it down to meet friends went to betty boop got some mango which i really liked and a fairly big cup of coffee went to a nearby argentinia steakhouse and had a lovely steak went for quite a walk in a direction that i cannot readily remember we ended up by free 1 so i went in and made a purchase some lebanon hash very soft brown earthy smell and flavor i really liked the stuff! you could tell your were somking it. went back to friends apartment and dented the hell out of my stash ---- 3 spliffs in preroll cones 2 blunts and intermitent hits from my glass bowl.... all by myself man i was freakin gone i guess thats why this days report will be a bit shorter than the rest Laughing any way we left to get some mcdonalds came back and my friends were about how strong the room smelled when we got back even with a fan going and the windows open. so i smoked my last bit of temple ball and thats really all i can remember i know we did other stuff but shit my memory jumps to later that night getting the best fucking kebab ever across the street from the abba hotel and then getting to beers that i couldnt open from the night grocery ....man was i pissed im so used to american twist off caps Embarassed well finally got one open sipped it smoked and watched the remake of swat.

fri. ( last day in adam with friends )

woke up got all my shit together double checked for weed baggies in pocket went down for breaky which ended up being 2 ham and cheese sandwiches and coffee went up smoke my last one in abba and went to central station to store my lugage in the lockers did that met up with friends and headed to sensi seed c/s to smoke one last joint and one last blunt shot the shit for a while then gave in to the inevidable situation and headed for our train to germany with many hazy memories bouncing around in our heads Razz

germany
took i trip out to wiesbaden german to see how my friend was living and i quite liked it very lush greenery reminded me of this bit of pine forest that i call home. caught an uber 30 party at a park and saw kids with hookas down by the lake the second day say some one rolling a spliff at a cafe like it wasnt anything Very Happy . scored some decent hash fromkaiser park across from wiesbaden train station from some turkish dealers the first dealer showed me grass that was absolute crap the next one showed me a bit of "morocan" hash got a lil more than a gram for 10 euro this was all done in broad daylight in plain view of onlookers. the hash was mild but packed a punch straight away and faded around 45-1 hour later. the pot scene seems real laid back as i saw plenty of headshops and the prevelance of bold dealers. didnt try it but i heard the grass from the jamacan and african guys is spot on!

last day back in the dam
awoke at about six and made my way to the train station boarded and headed for mainz stopped there to wait for my train to amsterdam had a few coffees and cheeseburgers for breaky then hugged my friends and said until next year. bored my train to amsterdam and spent a good bit of time finding my seat and then drifted off to sleep land....

awoke to a border gaurd kickin my leg , it actually scared the livin shit out a me to open my eyes and see this guy hold a gun and glaring at me! had about 45 miniutes to go at this point and i was really trying to take it all in as this would be the last time for a few months at least that i would be able to cast a gaze upon it. when i finnally rolled into central station i accidentally walked out the wrong door had to double back and made my way out to the road i pretty much knew where it was an soon walked up on it. the workers were really hospitable and got me in my room very quickly but before i could go up i had to get my discount at the coffeeshop i purchased a gram of nycd haze at 11 euro wasnt too impressed as i smoked the entire gram in about an hour but i did get a decent lil buzz. wanted to head baclk to NES as i didnt really get to chill there to long last time got in there talked to dc a bit and got a half gram hashplat haze and a half gram super silver haze. dc informed that some other posters were in the building i briefly met big_bad_benno and smoked a couple bowls and a joint with jbomb and some travelers from michagen. had a great time shootin the shit said my goodbyes talked with dc for a sec and headed back to the hotel stopped at a shoarma spot and talked to the owner for a good hour while eating an incredible kebab got some waffles and headed up to the hotel. rolled a mixed joint with all the hashplant haze and got so high i had to fuckin lay down Laughing that stuff was absolutely lovely man that was like the first time i got really stoned! i awoke about an hour or 3 later not really sure about time at this point when i awoke i did a few laps around the red light and stopped in the old church for a white widow joint smoked that up and then headed over for my last trip to de kuili got the older american guy and he suggested the maroc carmello which was nice sat for a joint at the window and watched people with there luggage and thought how nice it would be to just be getting into town...... Sad . headed back to the hotel room rolled a few more joints and smoked them up then went to go do some window shopping Wink . saw some absolute stunners went back to the old church and bought .6 grams of white widow then went upstairs which was completely barren except for a budtender pickin up bottles and glasses and a steady stream of people using the restroom looked out the window and enjoyed my joint and the ambience! after maybe forty five miniutes i pulled myself together did another redlight lap and stopped in with lovely eastern european girl who gave my evening a happy ending. i think actually walking out of the kamer door and gettin the wierd looks from other tourist was just about as sureal as buying weed in amsterdam the first time it was almost like watching a movie! not sure if i would go into another redlight kamer but i do know my grandkids will hear about it constantly whenever their born Laughing . after this i walked around lookin for a close buy coffeeshop to head into and they were all closed at that point it became apparent " I GOING HOME TOMMORROW " Crying or Very sad i picked up something to eat from a little corner shop and went up to the room smoked another hash joint and another white widow joint. and i dont remember going to sleep. when i awoke i almost forgot i had to leave got a shower in, packed up my clothes and went and got a lil cash from the atm for food at the airport and my train ticket. came back and ate breaky at the hotel was really good and put my bags in the luggage room smoked up my last self rolled spliff m( mostly white widos and the maroc i had plus i wee bit of hashplant haze super silver haze and nycd haze) got on the internet for a bit drank a couple cups of coffee and apple juice went next door and purchased a sage and tobac preroll , excellent stuff i actually really wanted to check out sage and this was my first chance well i was high as hell by this point i only smoked half went back next door got more coffee and smoke the other half Razz headed for the train station and schipol with a sadness about me and nearly missed my plane .
