My next visit is Queens Day. :-)

yeah i was there last NYE too. I remember the sea of broken glass and the eeriness very well. Until somebody laid down a huge firework in the middle of a sidestreet...

Just got back an hour back from another fun trip. Won't write a full report as not got much time, but here's a few of the incidents... On NYE the street backing onto Warmoestraat (between that and Damrak) was sealed off and a sheet covered body was in full view. At 11.55pm on NYE we were in Dam Squa...

Sounds like you're having a top time. Have one for me!

thanks for all the kind comments folks. i look forward to hearing yours and many others reports over the forthcoming months until I manage to get to 'Dam again! (dam it's harsh when you come back home!)

same here. I keep meaning to get some but usually I start the day with a joint and never get out of that routine!

The night pic is amazing. what camera have you got?

Glad you enjoyed the trip Sam. No doubt you will be back many times. It's amazing how quickly I start planning another trip when I get back. Recently been in Dec 2003 and whilst you were there, so that must mean another trip is due around June lol (I wish)

Sounds like a crazy day! Shame we all missed meeting up. I'm sure there'll be another time :-)

must have changed his mind. I read in an earlier post of his that he would be wearing an orange and black one.

lol, we were sat in the window with our backs to you then, so easy to miss us. All I was really keeping an eye out for was Sam's orange baseball cap. Kept looking all day for this...Sam - did you wear it after all?

It was in Leidseplein. Further on past Gaucho's down the narrow street with all the restaurants on.

At least I now know it wasn't the weed playing tricks with me!

will do so if i get chance to do it tomorrow night. didn't take any pics inside coffeeshops this time, but I have some from Dec 2003 trip so might do a whole page for that trip too
thanks for the kind comments

23/02/04 Day Five Our final day seemed to come around too soon. Fortunately we’d signed up to be Sofitel Privileged guests on their website so could keep our room on til 4pm at no extra cost. Not that we stayed in the room, but it was handy to keep our luggage there till then. We went to De Kuil for...

what's a birthday rosette?

a rosette that said "birthday boy" (see previous message - day two)

22/02/04 Day Four Got up with the intention to do more of the same! Plus there was the added bonus of the proposed meeting with Delta9 and Sam and his girlfriend later on in De Kuil… Spent the day doing as we intended which was the usual haunts like De Kuil, Other Place and the RLD, Tried Kadinsky a...

21/02/04 Day Three Got up on my birthday morning and headed off to Barney’s for breakfast. Had never been before and had seen conflicting reports. We got a table straight away and received a fairly quick service, however we had to wait a while for the food. The barmaid was quite abrupt with some oth...

20/02/04 Day Two Got up in reasonable time and rolled up a Neville’s Haze joint. We were heading for Artis Zoo today, our bit of culture for the trip! Asked hotel reception girl how to get there and got very helpful response. Have to give this hotel 10/10 for amenities and staff. Got the tram to the...

Amsterdam Feb 19th – 24th 2004 19/02/04 7.00am. Liz and I set off on our flight from Leeds/Bradford airport (UK) to Schiphol. The flight was on time and we landed in a cold but dry Holland. At the airport we noticed that the train ticket windows were temporarily closed so we set about looking for an...

Yeah, I assumed you lot had crashed earlier on and didn't make it back out in time. Liz and I had slept in a bit that day so our possible earlier encounter took a fall here. So we planned to make it to the Greenhouse or at worst De Kuil. In the end we went straight to De Kuil, although started here ...

Arrived back home last night. Too tired tonight to write a report or at least do one justice. Away with work the next evening. Looks like it's going to have to wait till the weekend for my report then.

Hi all, 2nd day in the dam. So far done nothing except smoke, eat and sleep! Also been to zoo today. The monkeys were great! Coffeeshops so far...De Kuil, Other Place, Anyway, Betty Boop, Baba's that I can remember at moment. Bought, Stella Blue, White Widow, Neville's haze. Getting tooooo stoned! H...

witty, informative, entertaining. The way to write a report! Cheers!

cool first day you had by the sound of it. glad you learnt so much from here first!

i'll manage, providing I can read it of course! i'm not aiming to write much, just places and purchases, and quality of smoke will do. plus anything amusing that i see whilst people watching so that I can recite it on here on my return.

I have just bought my little black notebook which I will take with me to the 'Dam in 2 weeks time. This will enable me to keep track of where I visit, what I see and do, and more importantly, what weed I purchase and smoke. I will also be able to rate things as I go along. It should make a change fr...

how much are the 2 day tram passes compared to a one day one?

yeah good report. I think when I go I will take a pocket notebook to keep track of where I go. It all blurs into one when I do nothing but get stoned all the trip!
