It is my GF's birthday coming up soon. Ive decided to suprise her by booking a short weekend in amsterdam; a place where we have both wanted to visit.

Has anyone else from the UK gone on a trip? I really dont know the best and most cost effetive way of doing it. There is a local travel agent which hosts a sort of group-trip every so often, but I would much prefer it if we where by ourselves..

Would there be any places online to buy boat tickets, packadges, anything like that which you guys may know about? I know that isnt much info to go on, but Im in a hurry to go out and need to post this

thanks!

I'm not sure about boats, but flight tickets start at about £60 return, per person. Just Google flight tickets.

Rooms in the city centre start at 40-50 Euros per person per night. Weekends are probably cheapest and easier to get accomodation.

If you're going for two or three days, get the earliest flight you can get (5:30, 6:00 am or something), and arrive in time for breakfast. Then sort out a place to stay before you get too wasted. You're looking at around 35-50 Euro's per person night in the city centre. Drop off your luggage and hit the city.

You'll also need about 3 or 4 Euros (in change, preferably) to get a train directly from the Airport (Schiphol) to the city. Its about a five minute journey. Or don't get a ticket, but if you get caught the fines are pretty steep (50-80 Euros, on the spot).

And travel LIGHT. One small rucksack should easily hold enough for a few days.

And have a great time there. TBH, it'd be hard not to.

There is also the shitty Van Gogh museum to visit for the cultural alibi, and the romantic sensi seed bank to start your homegrown plantation. Wink

I don't know if your "need" term is relevant for most, people have either to be somewhat sick -or indeed immature if not stupid- to see their consumption of cannabis that way. Your sentence would be imho -at least as much if not- more relevant toward alcohol consumption, with far more people vomiting on their relatives for your above mentioned motives. Laughing
