Meh. This one should be Rokerij on Singel

Wish I had more photos. Got more for the next 2 travelogues.
Looking forward to more photos -- a picture = 1,000 words!

Fairly high I'd imagine. For every naive newbie it had a strong magnetic pull as soon as you exited Centraal and hit the Damrak.

So if anyone can help please? I mentioned in this travelogue an Easter Island style head I'd seen and couldn't remember where, well I've found an image of it here https://www.discogs.com/Various-Music-F ... ase/245319

Any ideas hive mind?

I don't know whether if it was a cs, smart shop, bar or something else entirely. If anyone can shed any light on this I'd really love to know. And the places, the memories of places. We went in a cs a couple mornings, I seem to remember it was near like docks and it kind of jutted out the end of a block. It was fairly low rent but not shabby. Long and thin, lots of windows. Love to know what that place was, I thought it was out down Prinz Hendrikade past Central cs more east but on a later trip with R and C I dragged them looking for it until they begged me to go back.

Do you mean these Moai 🗿?

A coffeeshop that is on the other side and might be near to these Moai 🗿 could be Funny People (click me).

Here is a google view inclusive interior shots: https://goo.gl/maps/hrEXtutrcBuvC9o26
Thanks man but I'm afraid not. This head was on a wall above a shop. More 2D than a statue. Those Moai look cool though, never knew about those :)

Nicely done, made for perfect lunchtime reading. Thanks much.

I remember the giant head you mentioned. I thought it might be Coffeeshop Free Adam but can’t find any corroborating evidence.

Just found it. It was Free World on Marnixstraat. You were on the right lines with the Free part 👍
