I set off my 420 this year by scoffing 5 THC gummies and then heading for my local airport at around 7am and I whisked through passport control and straight into the airport cafe for a green T and a round of toast and jam. The flight took off on time and before I knew it I was being served the complimentary drink and macaroon(still waiting for them to change this macaroon for something better)
The plane soon landed at Schipol and I headed towards passport control fearing the worst with the new fingerprint scanner etc but was pleasantly surprised that I was able to get through quickly and I even helped an elderly couple out who were struggling at getting it done - 'my good deed for the day'
. I was able to jump straight on the train at Schipol as it had just arrived, the usual train journey to Central Station and I am soon strolling out through the doors with a silly grin on my face into the smells and hustle and bustle that is Amsterdam 
I make my way towards coffeeshop Het Gelderse and head on in, the place is empty, I say a good morning to the budtender and then make my 1st purchases of this 420 trip with =
Flower - Orange Organic - 30 Euro a G - The TenCo it was ok not worth 30 euro a g though
Flower - Silver Haze - 10 euro a G x2 - Nice smoke good value for money always a good example here.
Rosin - Sour Diesel x Papaya - 44 euro a .5G - A nice hit in the Puffco Proxy with a slight undertone of papaya taste on the exhale for me personally it needed more papaya.
Gelderse Menu
I load the Proxy with a nice dab of the rosin sit back and relax while looking out of the window, slightly hindered by the privacy film on the window, I wish the shops didn't use this type of screen. I place the ACD Mascot 'Herbie' on the table and proceed to take a couple of pics.
ACD Mascot Herbie
I am shortly joined by @BatRadia and we proceed in having a little dab session whilst chatting about being back in town and where we are staying, we hang there until I get a message from @AzLaker who is on the train towards Central Station so we pack up our smoking essentials and head up to the station to greet him in to town, handshakes and hugs and we part ways with BatRadia and jump on a tram down towards our apartment for the week.
We have to do 2 trams to our digs getting off near the Leidersplien and jumping on another to Admiraal De Ruiterweijg, we find our home and check it out and we have struck gold here with a massive Dutch house which also came with 3 resident cats that we had to feed during our stay. We head up the road to the Albert Hein grabbing essentials for the week like milk, water snacks T bags etc and head back to wait the arrival of our other housemate for the week @Trad who was now on his way in a Bolt, we see @Trad pull up and greet him in to town with handshakes and hugs.
One of our resident cats
Trad needs a smoke so we head across the road to the Coffeeshop opposite the apartment which was Power Flower a small local shop upon entry which is only Fly 'n' Buy, the menu is not the biggest I asked to look at a couple of tubs and decided on
Flower - Pink Gelato 12 euro a G x2 a very nice smoke for the price and for every purchase you got to play an inhouse game which you could win prizes on, none of us one a prize though
Headed back across to our digs and we had a little session in the garden to christen the place as ours for the week -
fantastic
time was getting on a little now and we needed to jump back on the trams and make our way up town for the meet up at the TribeWe jump off the tram at The Dam and take a casual stroll across Dam Square through all the hustle and bustle of people and head in to the Tribe and grab some beers and settle in for a session while waiting for others to arrive eventually we had a little crew in the house smoking/dabbing and taking hits from the bong
At the Tribe Session - Lemming, Igriane, Batradia, Trad, Gapie, Azlaker, Jolly, Ghost
After a couple of beers I am starting to feel a little peckish as is AzLaker so we decide to make a beeline for the NewYork Pizza place just of the Damrak, 2 slices of pizza each and a take out slice to take back for Trad and we are on our way back to the Tribe, Trad gets his pizza and I grab another beer and proceed to load my Proxy up for a last couple of smokes before we head home for the night.
We get the last tram back home, grab a drink and snack and one last smoke in the garden before bed
It has been a great 1st day in town meeting up with the ACD 420 crew again
To Be Continued
. We eventually came across a Stacked and were able to get us some scrambled eggs, french toast, hash brown and bacon, let's say I have never seen a hash brown like this one massive and rock hard, I scoffed the scrambled eggs and bacon and left the rest, AzLaker had the same, we both made a comment about the hash brown and had a laugh about it
