I'm on the train to Amsterdam right now. Bill Ryder Jones is playing tonight.

Boss time there. I ate frikandel, crokette, poffertjes twice and got clam baked a few times with my mate as I don't smoke

 

Found a pub on Spuistraat that had muppet characters all over it. Food was amazing

 

Did the Heineken tour. Love how they have a barricade when you come out telling you to watch out for bikes.

 

The bicycles. Fucking hell Dutch girls on bikes leggy ditch girls on bicycles. If I could have I would have knicked a dozen bike seats to bring back and sniff.

 

Canal boat tour was good , Van Gogh museum was decent but d'Orsay has his better stuff

 

Swilled much Heineken and the vibe of the place is great

 

A train station frikandel is heaven on earth. Brought me back to my early youth in Den Haag where I would hop on the bus to the train station and scarf A vending machine frikandel

 

Love the Dutch

Finally, smoking cannabis is banned in public spaces,” said Diederik Boomsma, a Christian Democratic Appeal councillor who has long campaigned for tourists to be banned from buying cannabis at all.

 

“This will send an important message to the gormless and feckless who think they can come here on a holiday from morality. Newsflash to all potheads: go giggle elsewhere! Let’s hope that the citizens of Amsterdam reclaim their ancient, beautiful city centre from the glassy-eyed zombies.”
