6th Trip to the Dam
Posted: Sat 11th Aug 2012 02:14 pm
I have never done a travelogue before, so please excuse my writing.
Day One
Up at 1:30 showered and ready to go at 02:30, arrive at Manchester for 05:55 flight to Amsterdam.
Arrive at Central station at 9, firstly we go straight to the tourism office to pick up our IAmsterdam cards.
Then as we smoke tobacco with our weed we need to find a coffeeshop that allowed us to. Our first stop was Resin, never been before so a bit excited, I viewed the menu and had remembered that people were rating their Desert Eagle, so Desert Eagle it was, 12euro. This smoke was the smoke of the trip,sweet smelling light green bud covered in crystals, it tasted a little like white shark that we used to get from Rokerij. We were stoned for what seemed age's, top smoke.
Then off for a walk to Voyagers to dump our bags, we intended on this trip to visit our old favourite shops but as Resin was a new one we thought we would try another, so as we were on Spui, I thought we would go to Anyday, I went in and straight away I felt like I was just in the way the budtender, the one with the turban and his mate were talking in a language I didnt understand but I could pick up a few words like tourist and others, then when I finally got to order which was a gram of NLX sour he tried to fob me off with the dregs in the tub, I maybe would not mind if its the end of the tub but it was still full of big buds, so not happy with this shop at all, and to make things worse it was the worst smoke of the trip. Even this visit would not put us off going back tho as even a bad experience in a coffeeshop is still an experience.
Another little walk around after something to eat and on to another coffeeshop, so off to Siberie as they have a smoking area, had plenty of smoke so no need to buy, but as to show support we always buy a pre roll if we don't need to buy.The pre roll was a good one believe it or not, good stone effect, but tasted like crap so smoked some more desert eagle from earlier.
Then off to Greenplace to sit in the sun, when we got there the front seats were empty so as the wife sat down I went in to order, all looked good but I saw they had Dr Grinspoon for only 10euro so got that, really good smoke and very tasty, we got a damn good high from it too, so all good.
Went back to the room for a while at Voyagers to clean up and as the wife puts it, have a good wipe,(private joke),
Later on we decided we would have to got to De Klos for the ribs to see if they were as good as everyone say's
First to a coffeeshop, Rusland has long been a fav of mine for their Super Polm so very excited. We sat in their smoking area and enjoyed the super polm, 9euro, still a damn satisfing smoke for me then of to De Klos, and the ribs were every bit as good as everyone had said, mmmmmmmmmm.
After a good fill we needed as smoke so as we were in the area we went to Rookies, we used to always stay here so it was a bit of a pilgrimage. Menu as ever nothing special but still good, we had their Northern Lights and as always a good smoke and a bit of a heavier stone ready for the night. As it was then getting late and the early start we thought we would head back to the room, but as always we could not seem to walk past a coffeeshop, so we went into Greenplace to smoke some of the Dr G from earlier.
Got back to the room around half 10 had a quick smoke outside the hotel and off to bed to dream of tomorrow's activities.
I will put day 2 on as soon as I get the time, I hope you enjoy our travelogue so far.
