I’m waiting for my second hit of herb at a cafe in Amsterdam. Note I said cafe, not coffeeshop. That’s because my kind of herb is mint tea. Basically, they steep whole mint leaves in hot water and charge €2.50.
We just finished visiting the Anne Frank House. I bought tickets online in advance so we avoided the queue. Our reservation was for, get this, 4:20.
Enough silliness.
We’re only here for 7 hours, and the first thing I did was shake Rob’s faith in my travel skills by putting us in the wrong train. No, no, it’s cool, I told him, we’re seeing more of the city this way.
Once we got to the city center, the fun began. We stopped at a few places for beers and tea. Our favorite was La Grotte, where Rob befriended and interrogated the owner and a server who moved here from Ireland “for the weed.”


Next stop, Florence.
P.S. I’m blogging from the WordPress app on my Nook.
Ha ..a dude MOVES for the weed? Messed up..
Excellent blog..
You are SO amazing, Kari – blogging in the midst of your 7 hour stop! On your Nook, huh… I’m pretty excited to get to experience your adventure along with you two. Happy travels, sweetie!
