Austria and Switzerland is where is happened to me the most. It happens dude, but you don't have to take my word for it. It's cool

I was also in the military so maybe that had something to do with it. As far as coffee shops go, find the ones that are run by locals, and only have a few people in them. Barney's is good because they have food. Don't get sucked in by the first ones you come to because they're like right there across the canal. Walk around, there are plenty that are good.
mmmmmmmm good weed and food, sounds good to me.

This is a great question. I've been to Amsterdam a few times and I do love it, however if I had the time to be there a while, I'd prefer Jamaica as I'm a tropical person.

For accommodation I strongly suggest the Marriot Renaissance in Amsterdam. It is very central, clean decent rooms, you can smoke weed in the non-smoking rooms without too much hassle. I stay there whenver I go to the dam, and it's comfortable walkng distance to my fav coffee shops.

When travelling between the western EU countries on trains and by road you don't often get stopped, and if so they usually just have a cursory glance at your passport.

Enjoy your travels and say hi to Barneys for me... It's been too long. I wonder if the Aussie chick still works there hmm

another good point. You can get a nice hotel if you want, but a lot of them will hastle you about smoking bud in the rooms. Food for thought.

Last time I was at the Renaissance I was tripping balls on shrooms, was stumbling round the corridor thinking everyone was wizards and dragons cos I had been watching harry potter. I lost my room key between my room and my mates room, but the concierge was very helpful and best thing of all, they have complimentary syrup waffles! 24hr room service as well of course; not the best menu but at least they have pizza!

The Crowne Plaza is where I stay if my wife insists on being at the center of things. It depends on her wishes (always keep ur spouse happy). One of my favorite things to do while at the Hotel is to go down to their street level cafe and have a cold glass of fine sherry and their shrimp croquettes, which are to die for. You can sit outside or watch everyone passing by through their large windows.

If we want to do more of a museum vacation, we stay at a B&B near the Opera House. Some very fine rooms are out there and the food in that area is very very good as you can imagine.

Best time to go to Amsterdam is coming up ... Queens day. We have been to 6 of them so far and has always been outstanding.

yea thats cool. how expensive would be like a 2 week trip to Amsterdam from florida?

i would love to get high and see europes history since america doesnt have any, like castles and cathedrals and stuff. and then to do it while i was smoking some dank Amsterdam buds.

how much is like an 8th there? in dollars?
Best thing to do is put ur lovely amterdam buds in a grinder and stick that in your jacket pocket and put your jacket in your bag.

That way if u do get caught (unlikely) u can just say 'well i was smoking in amsterdam legally and i just forgot id left that in my jacket'

America doesn't have any??? you know they make one way tickets you can stay there and you'll find out what real class speration is.bongsmilie


I went to AmDam from Florida was supposed to be there for 11 days came home in 5 days. Now I'm over 40. If I was 20 or 30 maybe I stay longer. The food is fucking BAD. the locals don't care for Americans. And the dollars is down against the EURO. So whatever it cost you it also costs you 40-60% more becuase of the exchange rate. I didn't think AmDam was worth the money.

If you go for a few weeks, then one day grab a train and connect through Antwerp and go to Brugges, Belgium. Enjoy the Midieval town and it's fine outdoor cafes and Mussels. Mussels and bier. Bier and Mussels.
You will see a fairly pristine and very very old town. It's well worth a visit.

its only a 45 minute plane journey from england so i only book up for 4 nights at a time. they r very expensive trips but i do think its worth it. it is just so much fun and surreal.
 
I lived in amsterdam, if ur into smokin n growing is the place to be,
however if u just want to chill

another island i recommend is sint maarten oh and its dutch...

Did you go to the museums? eleven days isn't even enough time to check them all out. Tour the country side?
the locals were all friendly to me .
also I found the food to be great.
Nothing like European beer.
You shoulda took the train to Germany or Paris. I could spend a week in the Louvre museum alone.
 
well we have made a decision

Which way to Barneys?bongsmilie

I did take many responses into consideration, but someone had a post and said go to Prague its a child between Marilyn Manson and Rob Zombie, that was the deal breaker.

We are headed Dec. 23-Jan.12, over Christmas and New Years.

Since we both enjoy the herb it was a simple decision.

Thanks again RIU!!

yea, i just wanted to know how much to save for the trip and hotel and then how much to bring for weed.
the stayokay zeerburg is a very nice hostel. cost me 28 euros/night. not too bad. it has a toilet, sink and shower per room. six beds per room.

it's probably gonna be all beds full.....6 outta 6.....

i bought a bottle of chlorine, or smething like that to spray the shower before i went in, wore sandals in there, shit like that....

just in case, you don't want no athlete's foot for wanting to have a good time.......

peace!
