Day 5 - Wednesday November 21, 2012 - Part 1
You know that look - the one people get when Amsterdam comes up in a conversation. That unspoken acknowledgement of coffeeshops and sex for sale. These people cant be blamed for their reactions -- thats probably been their experience or the ones theyve heard about from friends and relatives.
Its not news that the average visitor smokes some weed, spins through the RLD, and sees a museum or whatnot. Heck, ive been guilty of this behaviour too, more than once in fact. Maybe thats why i was looking forward to Wednesday so much, as it was a chance to see and do something new.
"Nail hits at the Beach" has been circled on the calendar for a few weeks now - ever since USBL made plans for a second installment, there was no way i was going to miss out.
Wednesday was also our second to last day in town, and there was a lot to jam into the final 48 hours. Since going to Zandvoort was going to eat up half the day, we planned on an early 7am start at 1e hulp. There were going to be stops at Funkey Munky and Club Media before getting back to Voyagers for the 10am TnT.
Needless to say, none of this happened. By the time we hit the road, it was already 10am. Popped downstairs for a quick confirm of the plans, then we were off for breakfast at Stones. Had the english breakfast, while Mrs TC had the apple pancakes.
Back to Voyagers for 11am, grabbed 40e of the Super Bio Lemon Haze. Had a few laughs sitting around the coffeeshop waiting for the rest of thecrew to arrive. LuvTick passed put another round of caramels, had a half of one treat and saved the rest for later.
There was some confusion on the board about when Rob_OG had said he was at Voyagers this particular morning. It seemed a war was brewing and bluffs were going to be called....and in the end, the story has a fun finish, which you will soon see.
Hide, Marco, Smirks, the LuvBong, LT's sister and her significant other and friend, and Mrs TC and myself made the hike up to Centraal station. Purchased our tickets, then decide theres time to grab a bite to eat. Bonglord points out this great pasta place in the train station called Julies, good quality take out or eat in and open late!
Get the train to Zandvoort station, and as we are walking out we are greated by a new face...its Rob_OG! Super nice fella with a passion for THC.
Before the nail hits, we make a stop at La Paz coffeeshop. Now this place is beautiful. Plush couches and chairs, pool tables and mood lighting. Purchased 1 gram of blueberry cheese and 1 gram of Amnesia haze. Dont remember the prices, but both were 12e or less.
Rolled the blueberry up into a fatty and shared that spliff with Rob_OG, then it was off to the beach.
Led through the streets of Zandvoort like mice by our own Pied Piper of Cannabis - USBonglord - we reached our mousetrap, so to speak. The sun struggled to squeeze through the clouds, and we were chilled from the breeze. Despite the weather, the day was brilliant. Freightliners dotted the coastline, as the waves rolled across the sand.
Our little group of stoners huddled around what could only be described as a large metal storage unit or power generator. USBL was seated on the concrete foundation, welcoming us forward like Santa Cannabis.
Intense Jedi Master eyes, Hide takes the nail hit...
Spoon on a nail is a beautiful thing. Its super clean and smooth, and the high is almost immediate.
We each took a hit, some took two - sure enough, we were all fucked up.
Then as we were enjoying our high, it was time for a joint....except no one thought to roll one for the beach when we were La Paz. Laughs were had, and USBL took a stroll barefoot in the water,
Thank you to all for the great time and atmosphere...and a special thank you to USBL for the spoon and nail hits.
Love this pic dude, yer one crazy fucker.
It was a great day!
Coming up: heavy artillery fire on the road home
Amsterdam dreaming.............
