So, last night, the Mrs and I decided to book a 2 night stay. A wee bonus trip that we hadnโ€™t really planned on until one of us mentioned the possibility just a couple of days ago ๐Ÿ˜†
Flights are booked for 8th - 10th September, now time to start properly planning ๐Ÿ˜ definitely on the hit list for this visit will be Chapiteau - as well as the regular haunts Het Ballonetje and Terps army 2. Any recommendations welcome โ€ฆโ€ฆ

The time has almost arrived, only 2 more sleeps til we are back - the last couple of weeks have flown in, hoping this weekend doesnโ€™t drag in ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

Still havenโ€™t made any plans, I have a couple of places in mind to visit, as well as the favourite haunts

Will try to do a report with some photos ๐Ÿ˜Ž

Have a tip top time.

Chapiteau is deffo worth a visit and I was pretty impressed with the Cali(not cali) selection at Sensimilla near Hugo de Grootplein, maybe a 15 minute walk between the two shops.

In the centre Bagheera is usually very reliable.

Premium shops - I've been impressed on the whole by Drew's/Mediterranne and Green Place is back in the good books

Enjoy xx

Chapiteau is definitely being visited, I also saw sensemilla being recommended on a YouTube video for must visit coffeeshops. Bagheera for the lemon bubble is usually on the list

Drewโ€™s place has been on my mind, so will aim to visit there too

appreciate the suggestions HTN ๐Ÿ˜Ž

Cheers bud, Iโ€™ll certainly try ๐Ÿ˜‚

The excitement is building, itโ€™s not helped that my brother arrived in Amsterdam yesterday and is sending me 20 minute updates ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

Never got round to doing a write up and tbh, most of the memories have went up in smoke ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

Things I do remember : got through airport security in world record time - win ๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿป, made plenty of visits to solo and het ballonetje (as always) ๐Ÿ˜Š visited Drewโ€™s place, ventured out to sensemilla, tried 7th heaven and returned to 1e hulp after a short hiatus - never had a bad experience. Also visited new times 2 (formerly kooi). Our hotel was in a good location too, near Rembrandt square.

Anyway, weโ€™ve just booked the next trip, 5th-8th of march, will post again soon
