Location

Buyspad, Staatsliedenbuurt, Amsterdam.

Participants

Expedition

This hash in the middle of Amsterdam looked easy to reach. I decided to go there after work. Since my office is close to Amsterdam Zuid railway station I decided to rent a bike there and cycle to the hash. I could also have used public transport, but it would have taken much longer. It was a nice sunny day, much too warm for this time of year. As I cycled through busy rush-hour traffic I observed lots of people having a drink outside or relaxing in parks. Quite unusual for a Tuesday evening in February. I crossed a small bridge to enter Staatsliedenbuurt and found the location pretty quickly. It was hard to get a zero reading on my GPS, but I eventually managed to get close enough. I took some pictures with my phone (please excuse the rather low quality), then rode back to the station and took the train home.

Photos

Riding through the busy streets of Amsterdam.
Museumplein is a very nice place to be, especially when the weather is as nice as it is today.

Lloyd celebrating.
The surroundings.
A cute little bridge connecting the surroundings of the hash to Jan van Galenstraat.
