Month: November 2005

Situated on the edges of some canals round the square. It’s almost as much fun finding it as going inside.
Here we can learn about dope, how nice it is and why we should smoke more of it.

This bloke has collected a lot of weed and put it on a lorry to drive round with.

Live and learn
If you have never known much about pot before coming to Amsterdam, this museum is definitely worth a visit.

Pot is not an accepted drug but its been around and actively used for 8,000 years in societies across the world from the Mesopotamia to the Indians and western Europeans.

It may take 8,000 more to try and wipe it out so why we bother is anyone’s guess.

I have captured the spledours of dutch innovation in industrial beer making, here is a sample.

The tour is made up of many things.

After passing through some history and corporate aspirational material, the beer production process is perhaps the reason most people come to the Heineken brewery.

Should be your first port of call, as they give you a free pint pitcher, which can come in handy if you are serving your own drinks late into the night in your own hotel-room.

I had been warned that there were many Museums in Amsterdam.

There are so many you’ll probably have to limit the time or choose the ones that suit you best.

Best of Three
Out of a combination of chance and bad map reading skills, the 3 I managed to take in were…

I will explore the city.

I have picked up these discount cards from the hotel.

This means I can get in a load of places I was going to go free and whatnot.

Had a few drinks around Leidsplein last night.

Compared to America this is a drinkers Utopia.

Here’s some bikes.
