Mitcheli1's Return to Amsterdam Oct 4-9th 2012

[mitcheli1]

K, so here goes!

Got up this morning around 10:00AM Couldn't sleep until around 3, but 7 hours sleep suites me ok.

Flight leaves tonight October 3rd, at 7:30PM from Vancouver, and I will arrive into Amsterdam tomorrow at 2pm.

A few notes:
Strokes of luck thus far have been amazing - Last night I got $250 additional dollars from the Canadian Gov for an adjustment on my tax return. I checked in for flight online, and was upgraded to premium economy class. And then, to put the icing on the cake, and make my whole trip, I end up being able to buy Radiohead tickets for the O2 Arena-London for the 9th of October for my sister and I. The show has been sold out for months, but it happened that as I logged in, they released another 50 "Fan Seats" for 50Euro Each!

I am staying October 4-9th in Amsterdam, and 9-12 in London with my sister.

I am just finishing up the last few packing details, and I will be departing my home for the ferry to Vancouver in about 1 hour.


Itinerary is as follows:

October 3rd:
1PM Ferry to Vancouver from Victoria
7:30PM Flight from Vancouver - Amsterdam

October 4th-7th:
NH Barbizon Palace
October 6th TNT - Starting at Voyagers (Continuing from there for whoever might be interested)

October 7th-9th:
Hampshire Theatre District Hotel

October 9th-12th:
London


I am looking forward to updating this travelogue! Everyone else on this website has been crazy nice to me since joining - World leaders from around the globe should visit any other web forum out there and see how hostile people are, then come to this web forum and see what a bit of Weed does for people. We're the mellowest people on earth, Legalize the shit already!

Expect an update within 48 hours.

Drinking at the airport bar. A favorite past time in my opinion.

You know recently I joined another forum. Non NL or weed and it has been shocking seeing how poorly people treat each other. Constant sniping, insults even in very banal situations/topics, name calling at the drop of a hat. Awful.

Could not agree with you more Mitchel and I hope you enjoy your trip to the Dam.

Looking forward to read about it,

Good Morning from the NH Barbizon Palace:




Amazing City - The memories I have from 2005 & 2007 Are not of the same city. This is a new and revitalized place to me now.
Last night I toked some buds from Voyagers, Some Amnesia and Some Super bio Lemon Haze or something like that. (I am terrible with remembering things) - Both good smoke, first doobie sent me for an excellent walk and a solid trip. I must say though, both gave me EPIC dry mouth. I wanted to start out with the relatively inexpensive stuff at first, and ease my way into the trip nice.





Met Matty223, and one other guy (Sorry, again my memory blows, please remind me.....) - Sorry I couldn't stick around boys, had to go get lost in Amsterdam, and my energy levels were fading fast. LOL. Will meet up again soon.

Spent roughly an hour wandering, turning up streets with absolutely no care in the world as to where I was wandering to. No concrete memories forming of where to go when I need to go back to the hotel. The mission was to get lost.



I thought I had succeeded in my mission when, I turned the corner and ended up right back at my Hotel. In a way I was lost, I thought I was half way across town Amnesia .... I think so.

Wandered down the red light district - nothing special here, some of the ladies are pretty sexy. Witnessed a fight between two american tourists that was broken up by security people.

Purchased a super great Donair from some place randomly, super nice and spicy all wrapped up in this warm bed of excellence... wish I had taken a photo... but sadly, I did not.

After staying up for 29 hours, A welcome 8 Hours sleep occured. Still awoke early this morning, At 5AM. Wandered the lonely streets. Wondered at what times of the day are safest/if I ever should be concerned here in Amsterdam.



Decided to add the Breakfast at the hotel, it looked amazing so I thought, what the hell, I'm on Vacation.... and I don't regret it one bit.

Too much food!




Picked up a bit of Gear for rolling and stuff, Nothing special. Going to go shopping a bit today, see what I can drum up.
The cheapo grinder I got sucks, 5 Euro.... but oh well, it gets the job done.

Nothing beats a live report from the city of lucid dreams.

Looks like the trip got off to a cracking start. Check out 1e hulp - you might get lost walking over there, but it isn`t far and pretty close to Paradox and Utopia that are also well worth visiting.

Enjoy your holiday and keep the updates coming.

The Green Place: 8:30AM
Had a nice morning redbull and a chat at Green Place while it pissed rain down.

I felt they had a nice menu,


Moroccan Hash - Soft and tasty like gingerbread.




White Widow- Which I'd give a 6/10... overall ok smoke, not very potent


Chocolope- 8/10 really nice smoke, very good hig - mixed well with the Hash. I don't have a picture of this, due to the fact that I am a stoner.


Had lunch at some Place called "Restaurant San Thomas"

Walked the streets and browsed markets.

[lazerbeam]

Nice! Keep `em coming...

[Lamont]

Looks like a solid trip sofar, really like the 5am pic....
