Location

In the bushes next to an apartment complex, near Amsterdam Sloterdijk.

Participants

Plans

I was planning on reaching the location, either by bike or public transport, and seeing if the communal garden was accessible from outside. Both modes of travel will take me about 30 minutes from my university, and I'd be right next to a train station to take me home again.

Expedition

After finishing class and fuelling myself with a chicken burger, I decided to check the weather. It looked like it was going to keep raining for the coming hours, so I took the subway and started my travel. It wasn't going to be a very exciting trip: 25 minutes of looking at the dark tunnels of the subway, and a small stretch in tram 7. Once I arrived to the geohashes, my worst nightmare came true. It was still raining, and to my horror the gate was locked tightly. I had the choice of knocking on some doors and trying to talk my way into the garden, or accept my defeat and go home. I decided to, as we say in the Netherlands, choose eggs for my money, and headed home.
