Post by ftcarer »

Excuse the delay , fair bit going on right now anyway onwards,

Had a great trip with 2nd born & his mate , cheers to those we met & toked with :-)
Spidergawd, Stan , TT , Mrs TT , Bifton , onehighmofo , choppermike, Ingi , UncleRon , fatolddwarf ,great meeting or seeing you again as the case may be :-) until next time .

Fav smokes in no order were , Betty Too - SSH & OG Cream , Tweede Kamer - King Hassan , Paradox - Lemon Haze , Utopia - Amnesia Cream , Prix d'Ami - S5 , special mention for UncleRon's purple monkey ball extract :-)

Another thing & I talked with TT, Spidergawd & madmaxxx about this , the general quiality of weed & hash around was a big improvement on April ;-) while everything may not have been to personal tastes , everything I tried was a v good example.

Monday 7th December 2015

Bit of a delay taking off due to fog but quick enough flight to Schiphol , onto the train & soon enough walking out of Central for another glorious day in Dam :-) (seriously mondays weather was balmy , was walking round in jeans & t-shirt most of the day :-) didn't really get chilly until 8pm ish & even then not to cold).

Room's not ready at the Malle/Koopermoolen but drop bags & take the short walk up to Voyagers , quick b&f at Central for Silver Haze (no ssh) & onto Voyagers grabbing super sour skunk ( quite sour old school funkyness nice smoke ) & lemon bubble (f knows what this was like , lost in the fog ;-)) chilled for a smoke but didn't stay long as we were due at Betty Too for 12ish .

Take a slow walk down Warmoesstraat, Dam square , Nes ( rip nes cafe ;-) ) quick b&f at Kadinsky for Diamond Haze (guessing at it being some sort of Amnesia but a nice uppy smoke) , walk down to the flower market , boys grab their 1st mcd munchies , onto Betty Too .
Met in Betty's by quite a sullen bt , professional but miserable lol , SSH looked and smelt far to good to be left in the tub :-) Sour diesel was a nice fuely example & the OG Cream was melty lovely stoney :-)
Grabbed drinks & went upstairs to settle , just finished rolling a ssh & i recognise the hat coming up the stairs ;-) spidergawd is here :-) safe to say
all the ft's love spider , always a pleasure to chat and chill with him home & away :-)

Soon enough TT & mrs TT had joined us , introductions done lets t&t :-) or so we thought , just started chatting and the shop next door had the excellent idea of renovating with what sounded like a jackhammer right behind my head, next 15mins was bang bang bang ,quick few sentances , bang bang bang lol, complete buzz kill .
TT & mrs head off for hotel I think , me, spider & the boys head towards Dutch Flowers (420) .
Slow walk up , pass by Vermlycx(sp) frites so boys can get a munch ( 2nd born loves the mayo ) , pass by Dampkring , onto Tweede Kamer , after reading the rec's here on ACD only asked to see
the King Hassan , my oh my , KH this good at this price , damn good find people , lovely smoke .
Shop was full so we went over road to Dutch FLowers , boys stop outside as 2nd borns mate thinks his hotel from last year is up Herengracht so they want to go see, "cool , spider & I will be here waiting" they wander off , we go in .
Inside Dutch FLower's (420) ask for 2 coffees , "are you also getting something from the weed menu" "no" ,spider wants the Sour Diesel ;-) sit, chat & chill awhile , SD was nice in the flowermate , can't remember what I rolled .

30 mins ish later " where are those boys of your's ft " , "fuck know's mate" lol so we head out to have a look , head north ring mobile no answer lol, cross canal head south ring mobile no answer lol, decide to wait on canal bridge a bit when mobile rings,
2nd born "we're lost , think we went to far"
me "no shit sherlock, lol, any idea where you are at all"
2nd born "nope" lol after getting him to look up for a road sign , they were still on Herengracht just south of the flower market , they'd headed north , us south & we met them pretty much right outside spider's hotel :-)
Spider head's in to rest a little and we head back towards Warmoesstraat to check-in , can't help but take them round the back of the old church ;-) the look on 2nd born's face when he realised he was about a ft from a elder ;-)m window lady was a picture lol, the dirty look she gave him was just as funny .

Into wok to walk so boys can munch some more lol & up to check in . Dump my stuff in room then go to their's see if they are crashing or coming back out .
10 mins later me & 2nd born are heading towards Geldersekade while his mate has crashed .
Het Gelderse , lady bt all smiles as she hands me the menu , then I hear "I forgot my passport " , off we go back to hotel , thankfully it's on the table in his room rather than lost ;-)
Out we go, other direction towards Prix d'Ami, big group outside going in together maybe 20 people , so we pass by and go over & into Siberie :-)
Siberie , no Lemon Haze Hash Boooooooo lol , grab some Mighty Whitey (ww) lovely quite frosty buds , couple of drinks and roll away :-) chill smoke and chat awhile with 2nd born :-)

Take a slow wander about the shops , grab some prezzies for home , 2nd born gets himself some trainers (with the exchange rate he saved himself about £35/£40), head back to hotel drop off bags , 2nd borns mate is up and comes back out with us :-)
18:30 ish & into Utopia we go :-) Ingi on form as usual :-) quick chat , Sour Kosher & Amnesia Cream sorted drinks got , window seat vacated as were picking where to sit , lovely :-)

** ask Ingi about the ACD cups and the owners family all coming over to view them ;-)**

Smoking and chatting away ,Stan was there with a mate? , think I recognise that face , it's Bifton :-) great seeing you again mate , toke for a while , whatever 2nd born had wiped him out lol, we were all taking turns giving him a little nudge now and again lol .
Head off to hotel around 19:30 as both boys are battered lol then back out alone and up to the VVV to meet up with my old colonial mate Uncle Ron :-) head to his hotel for his check in ( won't say which 1 but my hotel could almost fit in the lobby of Ron's lol cheap git that I am lol)
Saw a couple of light displays/exhibits , very cool :-) I liked the Blue Fountain thing ;-) by Central Station.
Back to Utopia , for an evening of t&ting :-) myself , uncle ron , spidergawd, stan , bifton , TT& mrs TT , lots of tokes & vapes & a bloody good time :-)
Head off with Ron to wok to walk around 23:00 , split around 23:30 ,eat , few tokes in room of days buys then crash around 01:30/02:00 , good day :-)

** Had written notes for monday but only what I brought on tuesday & sod all for wednesday so the following is based on that & stoner memory ;-) **

Tuesday 8th December 2015

Up , toke out window , wash , toke out window , dress tok- you get the idea lol down for brekky then out with the boys and over to Prix d'Ami & a nice wake me up toke of S5 :-) lovely uppy fruitiness ;-) meet up with Ron & we all wander Harlemmerstraat for a bit , grab Maccarons for Wifey .
Down and into CS137 , great shop & an always go to if im in town :-) Orange bud looks great as usual so big bag of that & settle into the corner sofa to chill out :-)

Toking away , Ron gets out the purple monkey ball extract ;-) & we fill a small bong with OB & PMBE for 2nd born :-)
*** 2nd born has high level ADHD , normally always super hyper & so far everything wether weed or hash , indica dom or sat dom had just monged him out lol ***
2nd born hits the bong , takes it well bit of cough then sits there smiling , min or so later he starts laughing and talking and talking and talking and LOUDLY talking and talking lol , get him to quiet a bit but he's still talking and talking lol
Paradox T&T is approaching so of we go , 2nd born still chattinf away , everything is great :-)
Get down to Paradox , bags of SSH & Lemon Haze ( both outstanding , LH just took it for me , grabbed more before leaving ) & what turned out to be the last 2 bags of Finger Hash (started out so well , lovely spicy toke , brought a little home and it went mouldy :-( lesson learned , smoke it all there lol )

Sit at the big table at the back , after a few mins guy at table infront turns around and introduces himself as onehighmofo :-) , great to meet you mate if only quickly , soon enough spidergawd( hat still making the CS rounds ) TT & mrs TT , choppermike, nice to meet you & fat old dwarf , nice to meet you aswell :-)
Chat & toke, TT was volcano master ;-) bag nearly blew itself off a few times lol but we'll blme the good smoke and good people for that ;-) plenty of toking and passing and diff bags of f knows what lol, few finger hash bags , another good ACD meet up .
2nd born had finally clamed back down to normal levels then with the help of weed and finger hash bags he slid under again lol & got major munchies lol & knew where he wanted to go , so off to the Pancake Bakery we went .
** great seeing you all at Paradox, hope we can do it again**

Arrive quickly enough at the PB , with Ron winding up 2nd born all the way that we are going in the wrong direction , fairly empty when we get there :-) straight in to order , chicken and cheese for me , can't remember what Ron got , 2nd born got chocolate & cream pancake & chocolate poffejtes(sp) his mate got a savoury pancake and a strawberry and cream 1 , the boys demolished there meals then mine then finished off ron's lol , serious muchies lol as a b-day prezzie to
Head back to our hotel , boys crash out and Ron & I head out & eventually into Solo :-) fairly quiet , grabbed some quite lovely S5 a drink & chilled a while , no baccy toking in here atall , pure or with substitute ;-)

From Solo we took a slow a wander about , passing Green Place ,grabbed some Silver Bubble , lovely in the tub , pretty sure weight was on point ;-) , wander some more , into El Guapo imo the most uninviting CS lol (but being part of the Mellow Yellow chain of shops I do usually drop in in search of Blueberry) the Blueberry looked and smelt excellent even if it was mostly v small buds with 1 larger 1 being kept in the corner of the tub lol, " how much is that nice bud mate" "2.8 but if you want that 1 you'll have to get 4g's" cheeky sod ;-) " i'll have 4g's then" :-) bloody lovely it was/is as well, imo almost back to 2010 MY's BB form ;-)
From there we went to Utopia , more Amnesia Cream :-) settled into the window seats and chilled away , got a call from 2nd born around 20:30 , "we're up , where are you", " Utopia , you remember where it is" " no " lol head out to get the boys then straight back to utopia for another evening of chatty stoniness :-) myself , Ron , Stan , Bifton was there I think , anyone else , TT we're you and the Wife still there ??
I remember we left very stoned , walked the RLD for a bit , 2nd born was not impressed that I got him right by the blue light windows but it gave the rest of us a good laugh :-) ended up at wok to go I think for a nice munch , boys then got crepes back near the hotel lol, went in Hunters 24 now a smoker friendly bar? for a smoke and coffee , got more stoned , hit our hotels
had a few smokes in my room then crashed .

**Few memories left lol**

Wednesday 9th December 2015
2nd born wakes me around 07:00 banging on the door , "do you really want to be up now son" , " no but i had a smoke & thought I should wake you up" " do you want more sleep or do you want to go out" " more sleep " , " why the fuck wake me up then sod off back to bed and i'll come get you in a couple of hours " lol , may as well have a j :-)
09:30 , check out of my room , dump bags in boys room and 2nd born & I head out to Prix d'Ami I think , morning toke and coffee then back to hotel to get his mate ,Ron is waiting outside for us .
All head to Solo ,2nd born v nearly gets hit by a bike then his mate while laughing at him walks straight out in front of another , settle into Solo , whatever 2nd born got me to roll up with along with the substitute , WOW ;-( , lights it ,2secs later , " who the fuck has just set fire to cowshit " lol, was 1 of the worst smells i've smelt , took a pull & can only describe it as SHIT , lol, no-one could handle a pull lol the j was destroyed for the greater good , bloody weird though .

From Solo we went down to Bluebird , sat at the front window seats upstairs , chilled a while , watch 2nd born roll a j , put it down then roll off the ledge down to the floor below lol, off he goes to find it , comes back saying some women was having a good laugh at him , as the j appeared out of nowhere just missing her lol
Stay a while toking and chatting enjoying the last few hours , from Bluebird we wandered abit not sure where or if went in anymore Cs's lol, we did go back into Hunters for a bit before we all headed to the airport , check bags , outside for a last smoke of S5 & Amnesia Cream mmmm,
Walk down to Ron's check in , great seeing you as always mate :-) take the boys for a Mcd's munch then through to our gate , short flight and home soon enough another trip done .

If you got this far , cheers :mrgreen: next trip is being planned already :wink: next year ACD :mrgreen:
