Well, I'll be able to tell you in June... I'm going to Haarlem... Instead of Amsterdam.... Just feel it'll be more chilled.
Booked the tickets just sorting Accom, hopefully we'll book the Indica Apt.... seems the perfect venue for a Chill.
I stopped in the Suite DE LANGE VEER II through these: http://www.haarlem-hotelsuites.nl/ a couple of years back, nice people to deal with and a nice place to stay if you need another option. _________________ Thankyou for pot smoking!
Cheers.... I'm hoping we can settle on the apt.... but we'll keep that in mind.
Something about the crazyness of Amsterdam that's making me opt for Haarlem this time.... We'll probably hop on a train to Visit amsterdam for an aft.... Gotta pop in t'Nes and I'm a 420 boy at heart......

I know what you mean, I've stopped in Haarlem 3 times and really enjoyed the quieter pace but theres something special about Amsterdam that no other place can replicate for me. _________________ Thankyou for pot smoking!

I love Haarlem, it is just so much more laid back, suits me fine. However, I could see it being too quiet for some, that said Amsterdam is only 20 minutes away on the train. Both the WW Indica apartments are superb home bases as are the rooms at WW Sativa and they are all great value for money too. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a more chilled out alternative to the Dam.
With the smoking ban coming in soon I can see that apartments are going to get a lot more popular,
Cheers,

Haarlem is older than Amsterdam. I get a dagkaart for my bicycle and take it along on the train to Haarlem. It is beautiful to bicycle along the waterways. Instead of bicycling from Amsterdam, consider bicycling from Haarlem to the shore at Bloemendaal aan zee.

Willie Wortel's Sativa is the one by the station, out the front, to the right. Indica is across the river from the Adriaan windmill, near the bridge. From the station go straight and left to the river, but don't cross the river. It's about a ten minute walk. Sinsemilla is on the other side of town (I need a map and a compass, because the river curves and I'm stoned), but well worth the trip as their menu is a bit different from the other Wortel's. Theehuis is tiny, but have good specials. Most smaller towns I've visited don't have as many coffeeshops to choose from, and the quality is excellent. Haarlem is very pleasant; quaint and interesting to bicycle.

The fun part of travel is never accomplishing everything all in one trip. I was in Haarlem ten days, with a couple maps and a compass, and still didn't see everything on the list. Of course, staying over a coffeeshop might have had something to do with that.
To Do: Global Hemp Museum, Spaarne 94
Wilma & Albert's: arguably the best steak in the Netherlands. Haarlem is better on a bicycle, because when Sly have had to circle Sint Bavo three times to find things, it was faster.
We are also partial to Nachtwacht on Thorbeckeplein (AMS) and would not hesitate to recommend Cafe de Klos, Kerkstraat 41-43. It is meat and right so to do.
