spring bike trip to the netherlands - Dutchgrown Seeds - International Cannagraphic Magazine Forums

a coworker just got back from a 8 day bike and boat trip that starts and ends in amsterdam. i was totally awed by the pictures, then i went on the web site and saw the apr/may tulip tour and now i'm really stoked. i do have a couple of questions that maybe dutchgrow or someone else can help with. whats the weather like in may and whats the latest you can go and still see blooming? how tolerant are they in the suburbs to smoking. i cant imagine biking 19miles daily and not stopping to burn a couple along the way. i'd also take recommendations of any other good tour groups in the region. thanks all

it seemed like most of the smaller towns had one or two coffeeshops,most places i went to in the netherlands had them,i never really noted any disapproval from anyone....once you get to amsterdam hop on the ferry that takes you out to the islands on the north sea,gronegan? i think it was,worth the day trip any way

hey there unc and bulldog. glad ya could stop by. this is a combination canal barge and bike trip for 8 daze. i'm really looking forward to getting hi in the tulip fields. it starts in amsterdam so i was hoping to stock up and try all those strains that i'll never live long enough to grow. ps- thanks for the tip on gronegan- i'll have to check that out

the weather is usually pretty nice in May, but it can be wet too and sometimes catch you out. ... May is probaby the best time to visit the keukenhof (google that mate)

most "burbs" won't hassle you if you're walking along smoking a joint and as unc says most smaller towns also have their own coffeeshops.

edit - recently, Haarlem got a new mayor, don't smoke weed in the street in his town though cuz he's a right tight ass and his policy is to fine you.

hey there curbside. i thought of combining the 420 then the bikeride but i don't think my lungs would be up for it. plus i'm hoping for a little better weather about 2-3 weeks later. i think the tulip trips runs thru may.
