I've included some places we went to smoke, eat and information on how much the strains were, and my review on them.
Amsterdam Coffeeshop List
Walked from the station to find Ivana's Souvenirs. Got the essentials and hit up Solo Coffeeshop, just across Nieuwmarket.
-----------------
Coffeeshop Solo
-----------------
Strain - Buddha Haze (Laughing Budda X Lemnesia)
Coffeeshop - Solo
Price - €13.50 - 1g
Rating - 7.5/10
Budda Haze is very nice. Creamy smoke. Clear head high around the eyes feeling heavy.
Solo is a lovely Coffeeshop. Mainly for locals and tucked away in the back streets of Amsterdam. Very helpful and friendly lady bud-tending. She even left us in the Coffeeshop by ourselves for a few minutes while she took the bin out.
Called the guy to meet and drop bags off at the apartment. On the way we stop off at The Green Place Coffeeshop for a buy and fly.

Coffeeshop The Green Place

Strain - Silver Bubble (Super Silver Haze X Bubblegum)
Coffeeshop - The Green Place
Price - €20 - 2g
Rating - 9/10
Silver Bubble smells so nice. Got a 2g bud. The strength is just ridiculous really clear high. Very sweet tasting on the inhale and smooth on the exhale. Top piece of bud.
Popped into the Coffee Company. Sam got a cinnamon latte and I got a fresh mint tea. Sat and waited for the keys to the apartment in Cafe de Pool, on Oude Hoogstraat. Met the owners friend who showed us the apartment. Popped to Rusland after for some Dr Greenspoon at €17 a gram.

Coffeeshop Rusland

Strain - Dr Greenspoon
Coffeeshop - Rusland
Price - €17 - 1g
Rating - 8/10
Dr Greenspoon tiny buds of power. Couldn't believe it. Such a clear head high. Very nice taste. A bit harsh on the throat
. Overall good quality look and taste but shame about the harshness. Smoking Silver Buble in Rusland. Tasting fruity as hell. Intense flavours and high almost instantly. Not sure if it's because I've not eaten but it it's some real dank!!
By the way, Rusland has undergone a major facelift. Completely renovated and looks very sleep and stylish inside.
Walked back to the apartment via Wok to walk. Rice noodles with broccoli and mixed peppers. Finished with teriyaki sauce. Back to the apartment to smoke some joints and save some money (for now).
Slept for a good 4 hours awaiting Elliot to arrive. Obviously waking up at 4am to catch our flight has taken its toll on us (along with the smoking and eating of course). Elliot is arriving and walking aimlessly in the rain trying to find the apartment. He finally finds it and we go for a walk in the direction of Rusland.

Coffeeshop Bagheera

Strain - G13 Haze
Coffeeshop - Bagheera
Price - €13 - 1g
Rating - 8/10
Nice clean high. Amazing taste and smell when burning. Pungent hazey smell. Feels lovely.
Smoked the rest on the way to Wagamama. Very cold and rainy out which is never nice but Wagamama's will be a real treat. Katsu Curry coming up. Yes please.
Cold walk back to the apartment via an English Fudge stand in Rembrandtplein, then back to Rusland. Spooky cat in there trying to bite my arm off. Don't take me for some penis head you silly feline. Guy warns me that the cat is "Crazy" lol.
Back to the apartment to laugh at some South Park (that seems to be on TV whatever time of the day), and roll some bats.
Went over to Dolce Gelato (opposite out apartment) at 2am to get some churros with chocolate sauce and cream. Very nice!
---------- DAY 2 ----------
Went for a smoked salmon and cream cheese bagel at Tony's NYC Bagels on Jodenbreestraat. Walked to Bluebird but was too busy (although the menu looked great). Took a stroll over to Utopia and found a nice place to sit. Tried some Amnesia Creme at €12 g

Strain - Amnesia Cream

Rating - 9/10
Amnesia Cream was very sticky to touch. Quite oily but smelt amazing. Very soft and breaks apart easily. I don't know the most about hash as I'm more of a bud-man but this is something amazing. Taste was beautiful. Very nice stone feeling. Uplifting high really clear one of the nicest strains so far.
Short-(ish) walk over to 1e Hulp to grab some Gorilla Glue #4 and Girl Scout Cookies. Both amazing smelling and looking. Started smoking in the main bit of the Coffeeshop and realised we were meant to when I asked the bud tender for an ash tray. Oops!

Very different smell to anything I've smelt. Lovely sativa high. Almost floaty. Taste was a bit harsh but great effect.
Strain - Girl Scout Cookies
Coffeeshop - 1e Hulp
Price - €15 - 1g
Rating - 10/10
Amazing taste and effect. Only weed so far to make me stick to the couch and fall asleep! Don't know whether it was to do with the sheer amount I smoked that day or the strength of the weed but I was zoned!! Standout weed so far!

Coffeeshop Boerejongens
-----------------
Strain - Super Silver Strawberry
Coffeeshop - Boerejongens

Sweet smell and taste. Hazy round the eyes and general nice buzz. Full body buzz got me feeling high!!
Strain - Grape Ape
Coffeeshop - Boerejongens
Price - €11 - 1g
Rating - 7.5/10
Nice taste and smell. For the price it was good. Was told by the lady that it used to be €8.50 but it's their most in demand stain so they put the price up which is fair enough. Nice Indica high and grape smell transferred to taste very nicely.
Awoke from afternoon nap and went to get some dinner at Burger Time. Possibly one of the nicest burgers I've ever had. Fresh ingredients, tasty meat and lovely chips to go with it.
Stumble upon Betty Too after eating to get some goodies.

Tasty haze flavour. Sweet but diesely at the same time. Nice high and clean smoke. For €10 a gram I had to get 2. Very nice.
Sat in Betty Too for a while. Upstairs part was nice and was only us for the large part of the evening.
---------- DAY 3 ----------

Coffeeshop Resin
-----------------
Strain - Sahara Fudge
Coffeeshop - Resin
Price - €11 - 1g

Sahara Fusge Hash was quite hard. I prefer soft, sticky hashes but it still smelt and tasted amazing.
Long windy and wet walk to Paradox but it's worth it. Banana milkshake and cookie with some Lemon Haze.

Rating - 7.5/10
Although the the low rating, the taste and effect are great. Bud didn't look that amazing but smelt lovely.
Bypassed Pasta Pasta for some lunch. Tasty pesto and mozzarella tagliatelle. Always a win. Back to the apartment for some doobies. Watching the people and bikes go by having some of the Grape Ape from Boerejongens.
Head to McDonald's for a chicken sensation then straight to Prid D Ami.

Strain - Strawberry Sour Diesel
Coffeeshop - Prix D'Ami
Price - €17 - 1g

Nice smell and taste but burnt horribly. Crackly and burns with dark ash. Not clean and not very happy with spending €17 for a gram.
---------- DAY 4 ----------
Check out of the apartment for 11am. Say a its to Elliot who has to catch a flight at midday. Never heard Sam say he's under it more times in my life he won't shut up about how ill he is.

Great example of great hash. Lovely smoke and high. Second best hash yet (Amnesia Cream from Utopia just tops it).
Walk towards Grey Area but the weather is just awful. Raining sideways with very strong winds.

Very nice smoke. Buds weren't all that look wise, but taste and effect was wow! Queue wasn't as long as previously. We walked passed Grey Area on our first day but the queen was round the corner!
On towards Greenhouse to chill for the last hour before we have to leave for the airport.

Coffeeshop Greenhouse

Strain - Blonde Maroc Polm
Coffeeshop - Greenhouse
Price - €10.40 - 1g
Rating - 9/10
Very very nice oily hash. Great price for Greenhouse prices too. High was strange, almost trippy! No idea why maybe it was just really strong hash, hence the 9/10 rating.
Now it's off to the Schipol airport via the very confusing Amaterdam Centraal Station.
Until next time, Goodbye Amsterdam.
