My third trip for 2008 is planned. We all do our best. Some never make it to Amsterdam.

Thanks, sp, I might have done reports here for my two trips so far in 2008, but lost interest after other posts I made in the Bar were disrupted in an offensive manner by the "special-needs" posters who require extra attention. And yes, I complained to the Administrator of the forum on tho...

So your trip in February you wrote about in April, I'm reading about at the end of June. Thanks for a trip report, Dave J.

Nice trip report, wEEDmAN. That is indeed what it is like here. Weather has been great, don't forget that. Cheers!

Your trip reports are like a refreshing walk with a friend; thank you, Swin.

Yes, at one point, you were chatting with us as you walked behind the couch where nellie, Anne, and I were sitting--I was on Anne's right. PM if you need details, please.

tuttiflutes, nobody exists until you have met them in Amsterdam. Did you make it to Concertgebouw?

Sadly her cheese was better than her estimate of 'ten minutes walk' to the cheese market - if you can do it in ten minutes you can probably do the qualifying time for the Olympics 50Km walk. ... If it wasn't 'old cheese' to start with it certainly was by the end when the guys in fancy dress repaire...

...an early morning walk around the Jordaan before breakfast, while the streets are deserted and the piles of dog shit are still fresh... ... Looking at Hotel Brouwer on the Singel en route (UKBL to note) looked OK but the Thai massage (and other services no doubt) right next door could cause probl...

Sometimes we are blessed with good luck, nellie.

Does anyone else find the misspelling "diatripe" absolutely hilarious?

Colonoscopy, anyone?

You put a special spin on a trip report, Swin. Thanks for posting. Sorry about weather, hope it brightens up for you. Note to Self: NEVER leave empty bag on bicycle! Was that a grey Citroen? I got a nice couple pictures of one last month. Sorry I don't know the model, but it had beautiful curves.

You are developing quite an album of Amsterdam, Woob. Thank you for sharing. In what part of town do you find more graffiti?

Don't sweat the small stuff, Hamlet. I am glad to have met you and tuttiflutes live in Amsterdam April 2008.

Thank you for remembering so much, Koopa. Takes me right back to Amsterdam. Pleased to have met you--a gentleman and connoisseur.

500 pix in a week--a woman after my own heart. Nice job and it was a pleasure to meet you both.

A great trip report is always a blessing. Cheers, Bollo! It was almost like being there.

work is the curse of the drinking class

That's how it was for me FlyByNite, gave some of it away and a last big joint finished out in front of the terminal. Amsterdam is cool. Peace : )

Nice report, islandgurl. Basjoe is a nice little shop, good ambience, personal service, can't beat that. High flight!

Glad you are home safely, Fly; hope our paths cross again and thanks for sharing the dream of Frog Hollow, a mellow place for a good smoke and a quiet chat. And worth a visit, I see you have a lot of new links.

Was that a weed boot on that Citroen? Looked like a subtle place for a stash to me.

MileHigh, you have to tell me about these free weed events, next time you see me. Almost a reason to visit Amsterdam in November...

It's not just for floors, you can also use it to clean windows, walls, clothing, mattrassen, en vele andere oppervlakken. I believe that means surfaces.

Sly has dialup internet (and I live in a cave and roast my own wooly mammoth for dinner, blame AT&T), so I couldn't get the video to load, but I believe mop woman is extolling the virtues of the TelSell.com Steam Mop for 69,95 Euros. TelSell.com Click on the Steam Mop link at bottom of page. The...

You'll be back, won't you, Hobie? Meanwhile you can hang out here in virtual Amsterdam with us, your virtual acquaintances. Let us know how the pancakes are going, nice work you are doing, Chef.

I was only really curious to see Delft after seeing the painting of it in Mauritshuis, Den Haag. It's not just there for the china; the city looks like a beautiful little old harbour. Nice report Swin; missed it last summer--I was there a bit after you. Cheers!

Hello DrTak, you have such wonderful humour in person; hope to meet you again sometime. Perhaps you could stop using gender pronouns when referring to the Crayon? It has been very amusing that, based only on what they read, most Channellites believed that I was a man until we were introduced. Maybe ...

Mop woman? Which set, what page?

Sly have dialup, so it takes me a while to work through the pages reloading.

Looks like you had a great trip, hope to see you again, Woob. Be well.

Have been enjoying your trip reports, FlyByNight. You went some different places and you have some nice sunny photos. Thanks!

Dag, Myrte! It has been a pleasure making your acquaintance. You are very amusing, wise beyond your years, and it has been fun to spend some time with you. Thank you for Nederlands pronunciation. I still do not hear quite right the difference between "ei" and "ij" but every trip ...
