Back from the Dam!

I was lucky again to spend three days in paradise. As some of you may know, I don't visit Amsterdam for 5 days or longer at a time anymore. This way, I can go more often during the year.

Living only an hour away by plane (trip still takes a good 4 or 5 hours door to door though), whilst it is worth minimising the flight cost, it is the hotels and daily spend which figure more highly, hence a shorter trip costs less. I figure I can visit every 3 months or so at this rate.

Anyway, much hash was toked on this trip, especially hash, what with being in the company of Viking and Purplhaze, both hash specialists and not liking weed.

There were a variety of smokes consumed. I found the Caramella Cream again at Barney's At €19 per gram it is a hefty price and usually a hefty smoke to boot. But this time, it just didn't do anything for me. Perhaps a bad batch but I am a bit loathe to try again at that price when there are so many other wonderful hashes.

This time, we rented bikes. I had done this on an earlier trip, and rode around as far as I could without getting completely lost, before returning the bike in the early afternoon so that I could get stoned i.e. not riding stoned.

This time, I was convinced by good friends, especially Lasthamlet, to try again. A big doobie of Super Silver Haze may have had some effect as I wobbled on a rent-a-bike, but once I was on my way...it was easier than walking!!

This allowed us to get out to Greenhouse Tolstraat in a matter of a few minutes. I had not visited since maybe 1998 and it was a lot different now. The large bar that used to be along the left hand side of the place is gone, replaced by a smaller one up front. And the seating area up front is obviously now gone as a result.

King Hassan Extreme and King Hassan Polm were bought here, probably both the best smokes of the entire trip, hash wise. Very strong and yet smooth indeed.

Being in the company of friends, I did not visit some of my regular haunts, however upon parking my bike out west on my last night, I happened to bump into Anyday. Ah....only the Stella Blue would do. Some beautiful stuff that I always stop for. This time, it was a great batch, I was reminded of how great this weed was - indeed I found new flavours and new experiences. Smoking this weed is similar to smoking a vapo bag - the beautiful after taste of the weed dominates, and it is a nice high buzz as well!
