Today's hash was located in a park in the old city of Alkmaar. This park was less than 500 metres from the train station, so I decided to travel there by train after work. I first took the Amsterdam Metro to Sloterdijk train station, then got on the Intercity service to Alkmaar. All of this took about 45 minutes. Once in Alkmaar I walked to the park, which was quite a nice place, but completely deserted on a grey weekday evening around dinner time. The hash was right next to a kind of teepee-like structure made from branches. I took a few pictures and then went back to the train station. The ride back home took about an hour and a half, mainly because there are not many fast trains in this semi-rural part of the country.

Expedition

Today's hash was located in a park in the old city of Alkmaar. This park was less than 500 metres from the train station, so I decided to travel there by train after work. I first took the Amsterdam Metro to Sloterdijk train station, then got on the Intercity service to Alkmaar. All of this took about 45 minutes. Once in Alkmaar I walked to the park, which was quite a nice place, but completely deserted on a grey weekday evening around dinner time. The hash was right next to a kind of teepee-like structure made from branches. I took a few pictures and then went back to the train station. The ride back home took about an hour and a half, mainly because there are not many fast trains in this semi-rural part of the country.
