Stephen (going to the dam) check out: http://www.coffeeshop.freeuk.com/ACDfrmGu.html = map + click on each coffeshop for info. I like to stay at a hotel near Leidseplein (9B). You get there from the city center on a #1 or #2 tram & always start the vacation with the same routine ~ into the below ground bar at Bulldog Palace, buy a packet of thier strongest pre-rolled (it's in a cool packit and saves so much time), a lighter and a strawberry milkshake. Then walk back towards town a couple of streets to Kerkstraat. Walk past Global Chillage (have heard alot of Orb their, but the owners and staff are downright rude) and go to Conscious Dreams {Smartshop} at #113. Pick up packs of Hawaiian shrooms = strong but a very colorful experience. (They also have peyote but I've never tried it). Head back via Dolphins (8C) - an undersea paradise with the most amazing vaporizer bongs = much better for your lungs. (inspired me to construct a battery powered handheld version). Then after dropping supplies off at hotel go somewhere like Melkweg http://www.melkweg.nl/artikelpagina.jsp?infoid=35430 (they have things like reggae, or ambient, or gong weekends, etc, or Kashmir Coffeshop (just off map to west) = good dj music and you can buy a beer on one side of the bar and a smoke on the other. Information hints (you probably know these already): take a good pack of rizzla papers with you from UK, the papers in dam are slow burning (drives you crazy),.......shrooms in vondel park on a nice day with friends is very enjoyable,.......don't mix shrooms with smoking and especially not blow - {you will see good and evil and you won't know which is what, ha....-"everything bad is good and everything good is bad'}......Only a few coffeshops sell beer so if you like a beer with your smoke you might want to check out your area on the coffeshop website beforehand.....the van gogh gallery is worth a visit, suggest you rent the audio guide system.....can't think of any more right now but I'll be in touch.....cheers, bill If you want a trip out of town, see if you can get a test drive of the dutch Carver: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r6vx98DjcVc ......55 mph, at 45 degrees, around a roundabout is the most fun I have ever had while driving....... _________________________________________________________________ Interest Rates near 39yr lows! $430,000 Mortgage for $1,399/mo - Calculate new payment http://www.lowermybills.com/lre/index.jsp?sourceid=lmb-9632-18466&moid=7581
