‘We’re going to Amsterdam!’

This was the message written on the card my missus gave me for Christmas (she could be a keeper).

As the trip approached, I began researching things for us to do – i.e. which coffeeshops to visit.

As a couple, we were looking for welcoming and comfortable coffeeshops, ideally with good drinks and an excellent selection of well-priced weed.

And I whittled it down to 7.

We’ve only had two full days there, so it was a stretch to visit them all, but we did at least stick our heads in each and stayed for hours in some.

What a present!

Makes me feel a bit bad about the novelty mug and Toblerone I got her.

Oh well, it’s Valentine’s Day soon and EasyJet have a sale on…
