Up about 10ish - just. Felt absolutely ruined (in a good way) and ever so glad I decided to pack at 3am last night!
A few bags from my trip... Clearly needed a bigger table!
Time to go!
Already!! Thankfully Perri let me leave my bags in the apartment till I left for the airport about 5ish so I could smoke all afternoon.Honestly I was still hungover from the night before in Hot Or Not smoke bar after the formal checkout. Some frites eased me into the day and I got myself a present. A nice shiny new vape pen.
If anyone goes in Amnesia ask for a vanilla shake with fruit. The girl serving knocked one up for me and said its the best shake she's ever tasted! Went down a treat with a repeat buy of Cookies Kush.
The Dam
RLD looking very ordinary!
Finally picked up my bags and strolled to Centraal with a couple of cones for company. I have to admit to getting a bit teary eyed looking back at the city....
Post Trip Musings:
Staying by the Nieuwmarkt you do get to see how grim the RLD can be. Personally I don't think they should consider closing the windows but its the couple of 9/10 girls I feel sorry for! Some of the creatures piling through their doors on my travels turned my tummy!
This could be the last trip to Dam for me. What with coffeeshops like Utopia having to close to add to the good ones already gone I noticed the difference this time. It's 4 trips in 18 months now and something on that last day told me I might not be back. Maybe its time to start saving, grow up, that sort of thing. All emotions I couldn't quite shake on the last day.
Day 2 was a perfect day this trip. Looking at my notes I only went in one coffeeshop that day so maybe it's a good idea to bulk buy on Day 1 of a trip so you free up time to see more of the city rather than do day long coffeeshop crawls!
One thing I would say to anyone reading who hasn't been... Book the trip now!!!! The 2nd day this trip was one of the 10 best days of my life (so far) and it wasn't the first one in Amsterdam. You can make some incredible memories to last a lifetime
Top Strains:

Final Thought:
Looking back at the pictures now I think I might have to start saving for 4/20 next year!!!! Life is for living... not existing. Good times, laughs, weed, a smidge of culture.... All right there in Amsterdam!
