Gloryhole

"How many more hours until we land?" Sally asked, her voice a soft blend of boredom and hope. 

"Just three more," the pilot's voice crackled over the intercom, the words echoing through the cabin. 

Her eyes flicked to the younger steward passing by, his name tag glinting in the artificial light. Kenneth. She had noticed him during the pre-flight briefing, his energy a stark contrast to the weariness that seemed to cling to the rest of the crew. 

"Would you like me to bring you anything?" Kenneth offered, pausing in his steps. 

Sally considered the offer, her eyes lingering on the tray of beverages he balanced with ease. "No, I'm fine. Thank you." 

His smile was polite, yet there was something in his eyes that made her look away, a spark of curiosity that seemed to dance around the edges of propriety. She couldn't quite place it, but it was there. 

The flight to Amsterdam dragged on, the hum of the aircraft's engines lulling the passengers into a state of forced tranquility. Sally went through the motions of her job, serving drinks and reassuring nervous flyers, all the while aware of Kenneth's glances. He was new, she had heard, a junior steward eager to make a good impression. 

After the final meal service, she found herself in the galley, her hands trembling slightly as she washed the last of the dishes. Kenneth appeared beside her, his youthful face a stark contrast to her own reflection in the stainless steel. 

"You okay?" he asked, his voice low. 

Sally took a deep breath, pushing down the flutter in her stomach. "Just tired," she lied. 

He nodded, his gaze lingering on her for a beat too long before he spoke again. "I know a great place for dinner when we land. Care to join me?" 

Her heart skipped. It had been a long time since anyone had asked her out, especially someone so much younger. But something about the way he said it, the confidence in his tone, made her feel seen in a way she hadn't in years. 

"I'd love to," she said, her voice a little too bright. 

The remaining hours of the flight seemed to stretch on forever, but finally, the wheels of the aircraft touched down on Dutch soil. The passengers applauded, jolting Sally out of her daydream. As they filed off the plane, she couldn't help but feel a thrill of anticipation for what the night might hold. 

Once they had cleared customs and collected their luggage, Kenneth led her through the bustling streets of Amsterdam. The city was alive with a vibrant energy that made Sally feel both invigorated and slightly overwhelmed. She had been to the city before, but never like this. 

"I know just the spot," he said, guiding her down a narrow alleyway. "It's a local favorite." 

The restaurant was tucked away, a cozy little place with candles flickering on the tables and the scent of garlic and wine in the air. Kenneth ordered for them in Dutch, his accent surprisingly good for someone who had only learned the language for his job. 

The conversation flowed easily between them, a mix of work stories and shared laughter. He was charming, attentive, and she found herself relaxing in his company. The wine helped, too. 

As the meal drew to a close, Kenneth leaned in, his voice a conspiratorial whisper. "There's something else I want to show you. Something...different." 

Her eyes widened slightly, but she felt a thrill of excitement. "Okay," she said, her voice a breathy agreement. 

They stepped out into the cool night air, the cobblestones slippery under her heels. Kenneth took her hand, leading her through a maze of streets that grew darker and quieter until they stopped in front of a nondescript shop with a green neon sign. 

"This is it," he said, pushing open the door. 

The smell of cannabis hit her like a wave, thick and pungent. Sally had never been in a place like this before, but she didn't protest. Instead, she allowed herself to be led into the warm, dimly lit space, where the walls were lined with jars of colorful buds and the air was hazy with the sweet scent of marijuana. Kenneth moved with ease, pointing out different strains and explaining their effects with the enthusiasm of a sommelier discussing fine wine. 

"So, what do you think?" he asked, his eyes twinkling. 

"It's...interesting," Sally said, her cheeks flushing. She had always been curious about the infamous Amsterdam coffee shops, but had never had the nerve to visit one alone. 

"You should try it," Kenneth encouraged, his voice a gentle coax. "It'll help you relax." 

They sat in a corner booth, the glow from the neon lights casting an otherworldly hue on their faces. Sally took a tentative puff from the joint he had rolled for her, feeling the smoke fill her lungs before releasing it in a slow exhale. The conversation grew easier as the tension between them loosened, the topics veering from the mundane to the intimate. Kenneth spoke of his past relationships with a candidness that surprised her, and she found herself opening up about her own divorce. 

As the effects of the weed began to settle in, the edges of the world grew softer, the sounds of the city outside muffled. Sally felt a warm buzz spread through her body, a sense of freedom she hadn't experienced in years. Kenneth's hand brushed against hers on the table, and she didn't pull away. 

"Ready for the next adventure?" he asked, his voice a seductive purr. 

Her heart racing, Sally nodded. Kenneth stood, offering her his hand once more, and they left the coffee shop, the night air feeling electric on her skin. They wove through the streets, their destination an adult shop with a neon sign that blinked in the shadows. 

The interior was a riot of colors and textures, a playground for grown-ups with a penchant for the taboo. Kenneth's grip tightened around her hand as they ventured deeper into the store, the air thick with the scent of leather and desire. Sally's eyes widened as she took in the array of toys and devices displayed before her. 

"Let's check this out," Kenneth said, pointing to a curtained-off area in the back. 

Her heart racing, Sally followed him into the dimly lit space. It was a mini-theater, lined with small booths, each with a peephole at eye level. Kenneth's gaze was mischievous as he whispered, "These are the video booths." 

Her cheeks flushed as she realized what they were. "I've never..." she trailed off, not sure if she was ready for this. 

"Come on," he urged, his voice low and thrilling. "It's just a bit of fun. You can watch whatever you like." 

With a deep breath, Sally stepped into one of the booths. Kenneth inserted some coins and the screen flickered to life with a scene that was both shocking and intriguing. She felt a rush of excitement mixed with embarrassment, but also a thrill of curiosity. 

As the minutes ticked by, she found herself drawn into the scenes playing out before her. Kenneth's hand rested lightly on her shoulder, his presence comforting in this alien world. The films grew more explicit, and she felt her body responding in ways she had long forgotten. 

"You should try the gloryhole," Kenneth suggested, his voice thick with suggestion. 

Her eyes widened in surprise, but she couldn't deny the sudden interest that piqued within her. "What's that?" she asked, her voice barely a whisper. 

He chuckled, his hand moving to her chin to turn her face towards him. "It's a hole in the wall," he said, his eyes searching hers. "You can...interact with the person on the other side." 

Sally's heart was racing now, the weed making her senses heightened and her inhibitions lowered. She watched as Kenneth stepped into the booth beside hers, the wall between them thin enough to feel his presence like a heartbeat. The screen in her booth flickered with a new scene, a woman eagerly tasting a man's cock through a similar hole. 

Her eyes darted to the side, where she saw the shadow of a figure moving in the neighboring booth. The man was tall, with dark skin that stood out against the red light that bathed the small space. He had noticed them, his gaze lingering on Sally before he reached down to unbuckle his pants. 

"What are you doing?" she gasped, her eyes wide as Kenneth stepped aside, revealing the gloryhole between their booths. 

"You said you were curious," he whispered, his breath hot against her ear. "Go on, touch it." 

Sally's hand hovered over the gloryhole, her heart racing. The stranger's cock was indeed large and uncut, the skin velvety and unkempt. She could see the shine of pre-cum glistening at the tip. The smell was overpowering, a mix of bodily fluids and something she couldn't quite place. It was definitely not the clean, minty scent she was used to. 

Kenneth's eyes held hers, the dare clear in his gaze. "Go on," he urged, his voice low and hungry. "You know you want to." 

Sally's curiosity won out over her shyness. She leaned closer, her hand shaking as she reached through the gloryhole. The cock in front of her was indeed uncut, the foreskin pulled back to reveal a glistening tip. She took a tentative sniff, the scent of unwashed skin and musk heavy in the air. It was a stark contrast to the pristine hotel rooms and expensive cologne she was used to, but there was something raw and thrilling about it that made her pulse quicken. 

"Go on," Kenneth murmured, his hand sliding around her waist to rest on the small of her back. "You know you want to taste it." 

Sally's heart was racing, but she couldn't deny the thrill coursing through her veins. She leaned closer, her eyes fixed on the stranger's cock, her hand hovering just out of reach. The man watched her, his eyes glinting with lust in the dim light. Kenneth's hand gave her a gentle nudge, and she leaned in, her nose brushing against the velvety skin. The smell was strong, a mix of unwashed flesh and the faint tang of urine. It was unlike anything she had ever encountered before, but she found herself inexplicably drawn to it. 

"Taste it," Kenneth whispered in her ear, his breath hot against her neck. "I dare you." 

Sally's eyes flicked to the stranger's cock, the challenge in Kenneth's voice egging her on. She leaned closer, her hand wrapping around the shaft as she took the first tentative lick. The taste was overpowering, a mix of salt and something faintly bitter, the smell of unwashed skin and the musky scent of smegma. It was a world away from the clean, soapedy flavor she was accustomed to. But there was something undeniably thrilling about the raw, unfiltered nature of it all. 

The man on the other side of the wall grunted, his hips jerking slightly. She could feel his excitement through the thin barrier, his cock twitching in her hand. Kenneth's hand slipped around her waist, his fingers ghosting over her hip to rest on her zipper. 

"That's it," he encouraged, his voice a sultry whisper. "Show him how much you want it." 

Her resolve crumbling, Sally took the stranger's cock into her mouth, her eyes closing as she savored the sensation. It was thick and heavy, the uncut skin sliding over the head as she sucked and licked. The taste grew stronger, the smell of male arousal filling her nostrils. Kenneth's hand grew bolder, slipping into her pants to find her wetness. 

Her mind raced with the reality of what she was doing, the taboo nature of the act making her pulse pound in her ears. But she couldn't deny the thrill of it, the way her body responded to the anonymous cock in her mouth and Kenneth's touch on her clit. 

The stranger's breath grew ragged, his hands gripping the edges of the booth. Sally's cheeks hollowed as she took him deeper, her eyes watering from the effort. Kenneth's fingers worked in time with her bobbing head, his thumb pressing firmly against her clit. 

"You're doing so good," he murmured, his voice a mix of amazement and lust. "You're going to make him cum." 

The thought sent a bolt of excitement through her, and she redoubled her efforts, her mouth sliding up and down the shaft with newfound vigor. The man's hips began to buck, his breathing growing erratic. Kenneth's hand was a blur between her legs, his touch sending waves of pleasure crashing through her body. 

Suddenly, the stranger pulled his cock back, his hand appearing through the gloryhole. "Let me touch you," he rasped, his accent thick and unfamiliar. 

Sally's eyes flew open, meeting Kenneth's intense gaze. He gave her a nod of encouragement, his eyes gleaming with excitement. "Go ahead," he whispered, his hand leaving her pussy to give her a gentle push towards the hole. 

Her knees wobbled as she stepped onto the stool, her body now perfectly aligned with the opening. The stranger's hand was rough and warm as it slipped into her pants, his calloused fingers finding her clit with surprising precision. She gasped, her hips bucking slightly against his touch. 

"So wet," he murmured, his voice thick with approval. "You like it, don't you?" 

Sally couldn't find the words to respond, her mind a whirl of sensations. Kenneth stepped closer, his breath hot against her ear. "Tell him how much you like it," he urged, his own hand moving to cup her breast, squeezing gently. 

"Y-yes," she managed to choke out, her voice barely audible. The stranger's fingers worked in tandem with Kenneth's, sending her closer and closer to the edge. Her hand reached back, gripping the wall for support as she rode the wave of pleasure. 

"Tell him you want him," Kenneth whispered, his voice a dark seduction. 

Sally's eyes squeezed shut, the words leaving her mouth in a shaky moan. "I want you." 

The stranger's hand withdrew, leaving her panting and exposed. Kenneth's grip on her waist tightened. "Good girl," he murmured, his hand sliding around to unbutton her blouse. "Now, let him see you." 

Her shirt fell open, revealing her lacy bra and the fullness of her breasts. The stranger's eyes went wide with lust, his cock jutting back through the hole, demanding attention. Kenneth stepped aside, his own arousal evident in his tight pants. 

"Show him," he whispered, his voice a siren's call. 

With trembling hands, Sally reached back, unclipping her bra and letting it fall to the floor. The cool air of the booth brushed against her nipples, making them peak with excitement. The stranger's hand reached out again, his thumb tracing a line from her navel to her clit, sending a jolt of pleasure through her. 

"Perfect," he murmured, his voice a gruff growl. "Now, sit on the chair and face me." 

Sally did as she was told, her legs trembling as she sat down, her back to the wall. Kenneth moved behind her, his hands sliding around to cup her breasts, his thumbs teasing her nipples into hard peaks. 

The stranger's eyes were glued to her pussy, his hand stroking his cock in a mesmerizing rhythm. "So beautiful," he said, his voice a low growl. 

Sally felt a strange mix of embarrassment and power as she watched him watch her, his desire laid bare. Kenneth's hands moved to her hips, urging her closer to the gloryhole. 

"I want to feel you," the stranger said, his voice hoarse with need. 

Sally leaned forward, her breath hitching as she felt the tip of his cock brush against her folds. Kenneth's hands moved to her hips, guiding her as she slid down onto the stranger's shaft. It was thick and unyielding, filling her in a way she hadn't felt in a long time. 

The stranger's eyes never left hers as she began to move, her hips rolling in a slow, sensual rhythm. Kenneth's hands remained on her breasts, his thumbs flicking at her nipples, his breath hot against her neck. 

"That's it," Kenneth murmured, his voice a gentle coax. "Take it all." 

The stranger's grip on her hips grew firmer, his strokes growing faster. Sally could feel the tension building within her, the pressure mounting with every thrust. Kenneth leaned in, capturing her mouth in a deep, searching kiss, his tongue mimicking the movements of the cock inside her. 

"I'm going to cum," the stranger groaned, his voice strained. "I want to cum in your mouth." 

Sally's eyes widened, but she nodded, her body on fire with lust. Kenneth stepped aside, allowing her to lean forward. The stranger's cock slipped out of her pussy with a wet sound, and she took it in her hand, eager to please. 

"Yeah," he hissed, his eyes never leaving hers. "Take it all." 

With a deep breath, Sally opened her mouth, the taste of the stranger's cock still lingering on her tongue. He thrust into her mouth, his movements growing erratic as he approached climax. Kenneth watched, his own arousal evident in the bulge in his pants. 

The stranger's cock swelled, and with a final grunt, he exploded, hot cum filling her mouth. She swallowed, the salty taste mixing with the lingering scent of his arousal. He pulled out, his cock spurting the last drops onto her face, his hand moving to rub the remaining semen into her hair. 

Sally's eyes watered, but she didn't pull away. Instead, she licked her lips, the taste of him still there, the act of degradation strangely exhilarating. Kenneth's hand reached out, his thumb tracing the line of cum on her cheek before sliding into her mouth, allowing her to share in the act. 

The stranger's hand withdrew, the tension in the booth palpable. Sally's chest heaved with every breath, her body still thrumming with unspent desire. Kenneth's eyes searched hers, his own need clear. 

"Your turn," he murmured, spinning her around with surprising strength. Her legs trembled as she faced the wall of screens, the images flickering with the depraved acts of strangers. Kenneth stepped behind her, his hands sliding down her body to grip her hips. 

"I want you to watch," he said, his voice thick with lust. "I want you to see how much I want you." 

He positioned himself at her entrance, the head of his cock pressing against her swollen pussy. Sally could feel the heat of him, the throbbing length that promised to fill her completely. With a groan, he thrust into her, his cock sliding in with ease. 

"Oh God," she moaned, her eyes locked on the screen. The woman on the screen was being fucked from behind, her eyes rolling back in ecstasy. Sally felt a strange kinship with the performer, her own body mirroring the depraved scene. 

Kenneth's thrusts grew harder, his grip on her hips unyielding. The angle was perfect, his cock hitting her g-spot with every stroke. She reached up, her hand gripping the edge of the booth for support as he pounded into her, her breasts bouncing with every impact. 

"Look at them," he said, his voice a harsh whisper. "Look at how much they're enjoying it." 

Her eyes darted from screen to screen, each one more depraved than the last. Men and women in every conceivable position, all caught in the throes of passion. It was a visual symphony of lust, and she was the star performer in her own private show. 

The stranger in the next booth watched them, his hand moving in time with Kenneth's thrusts. Sally felt a thrill of exhibitionism, the idea of being watched adding a new layer of excitement. Kenneth's hand reached around her, his thumb finding her clit as he fucked her standing up. 

"Cum for me," he growled, his hips slamming into her. "Cum for them." 

The pressure inside her grew, a delicious ache that she knew would soon become unbearable. The stranger's eyes never left hers, his gaze hungry as he stroked his own cock, watching her every move. 

And then it was too much. Sally's orgasm hit her like a wave, her body shuddering with the force of it. Kenneth's name was a scream on her lips, the sound muffled by the walls of the booth. The stranger's hand shot through the gloryhole, his fingers tangling in her hair as he pulled her closer to his cock. 

Her mouth opened, her eyes locked on the woman on the screen as she took the stranger in again, her movements sloppy and desperate. Kenneth's hand tightened on her clit, his other hand pulling her hips back to meet every thrust. 

The stranger groaned, his cum spurting through the hole and onto her face. Sally swallowed, the taste of the anonymous man mixing with her own arousal. Kenneth's strokes grew erratic, his breathing ragged. 

With a final grunt, he emptied himself inside her, his cock pulsing with every spurt of seed. Sally leaned against the wall, her legs shaking with the aftershocks of pleasure. Kenneth kissed her neck, his breath hot against her skin. 

"You were amazing," he murmured, his voice a hoarse whisper. 

They stepped out of the booth, their clothes disheveled and their bodies still humming with desire. Sally felt a strange sense of liberation, as if she had shed a layer of herself that she had been carrying for too long. Kenneth handed her a tissue, his smile wicked. 

"Ready for the next round?" he asked, his eyes gleaming with mischief. 

Sally looked up at him, her heart racing. "What's next?" she breathed, her voice a seductive challenge. 

He leaned in, his mouth close to her ear. "The night's still young," he whispered. "And I have so much more to show you." 

With a wink, he led her out of the adult shop and into the night, the neon lights of Amsterdam beckoning them with the promise of more secrets and sins to be shared. 

"You left something behind," Kenneth said with a smirk, holding up her lacy panties. They were drenched, a testament to the carnality that had unfolded in the tiny booth. 

Sally's cheeks flushed as she took them from him, her eyes dropping to the ground. "I know," she murmured, a hint of a smile playing on her lips. "A little souvenir for him, I suppose." 

Kenneth's eyes sparkled with amusement. "You're something else, Sally," he said, his voice filled with a mix of admiration and desire. "I had no idea you had such a wild side." 

"Neither did I," she admitted, her voice barely a whisper. She tucked the panties into her bag, feeling a thrill at the idea of the stranger finding them later, the memory of her juices and the night's events forever intertwined with the fabric. 

They stumbled along the cobblestone streets, their laughter echoing through the night. The cool air was a stark contrast to the heat still pulsing between her legs, her bare skin exposed and sensitive. Each step sent a jolt of pleasure through her, a reminder of the evening's escapades.

The 11 Best Spots of Amsterdam

Amsterdam is unique. In many ways. Compared to New York (aka New Amsterdam) and Tokyo it is compact and smaller. But it has so much more to offer. The Eleven Best Spots if you Travel to Amsterdam:

1. The Canals: a canal cruise is one of those "must do's" 2. Museum Plein: with Van Gogh and Rembrandt, and the famous instagram house on Weteringschans 3. Brouwersgracht: once voted the most beautiful area 4. Zuiderkerk: with the instagramable church 5. Nine Streets: quaint, small local shops 6. Central Station: the views on the basilica and houses 7. Prinsengracht: the longest canal, with lots of historic spots 8. Begijnhof: a hidden courtyard in the city center 9. Magere Brug: skinny bridge with views over the river Amstel 10. Keizersgracht: the famous corner of bridges 11. Dam Square: as a starting point to walk the center.

Amsterdam - the top 11 spots on your Amsterdam Travel.

Amsterdam is wonderful in all four seasons really.

This is Amsterdam on summer vibes. Amsterdam in a summer vibe. We took an Amsterdam Bike Tour - which was only about 20 euros for 24 hours of renting a bike - and toured and walked the city. There are so many Amsterdam attractions, like an amsterdam canal cruise which a sure recommend. And renting a bike gets you around the entire city very easily. We traveled by train.

First went to an art exhibition at Westergasfabriek, and then took a bike tour of Amsterdam from the beautiful Brouwersgracht over Prinsengracht to Rijksmuseum. Rijksmuseum is located on Museum-Square, and has the famous Rembrandt Night Watch painting. Other museums are: Van Gogh, Moco Museum, Stedelijk Museum. Across the Rijksmuseum is the Instagramable Weterinschans.

The Amsterdam live in summer has that relaxed, lounge, chill lofi feel to it. Boats drift by on the canals with people sipping wine. A Dutch cloud floats over in a big blue sky. Amsterdam is the Old one to New Amsterdam - now known as New York. Back in the Dutch Golden Age the ships sailed the entire world, from the warehouses you see in this video.

Things to do in Amsterdam: rent a bike, do the canal cruise, see the Dutch masters in the museums, shop in the Jordaan & Nine Streets. But overal: just wander and let luck guide your feet. “Meet me in Amsterdam” in this tour of the capital of The Netherlands. Amsterdam 4k

[beneath-the-irish-sky]

Since it was the first week at UCD, we set house rules. We decided that as a group we should not peer pressure other students to break personal boundaries, to help one another on trips or if we are upset, and to generally just be kind. We then talked about our history readings and the cultural differences between the U.S. and Ireland. It was really interesting to hear everyone's opinions on the readings.

After class, we ate at the UCD restaurant. Burgers are so different in Ireland compared to the U.S. You can tell the animals are grass fed and they add a sweet ketchup. It was not my favorite, but it was an interesting difference to notice.

After that, we decided to take a tour of The Irish Whiskey Museum! The legal age to drink is 18 in Ireland. It was super interesting to learn about the history of Whiskey and how it is distilled. I found the history of the how the 3-day wake began. The 3-day wake started when people would drink until they had alcohol poisoning from drinking too much whiskey and fall into a coma for three days. The theory behind the wake was that loved ones would throw a party and drink whiskey in hopes of waking the person from the coma. Then we grabbed a quick dinner as a group because we had to be up very early for the next day!

I was so excited for our day trip to Kilkenny and Glendalough. The bus we took left super early in the morning but everyone seemed to have a good attitude and was excited.

The greenery on the way to Glendalough was insanely beautiful. I was in awe as we passed miles and miles of green mountains. We saw so many sheep too!! Every time we passed one, I yelled “sheep” to the point where I got a few others started to join in my excitement and yell “sheep” too. We also saw many cows, horses, and pigs! They were all so cute.

Nothing will beat the rolling hills and wildlife we saw when we got to the Glendalough Park. We were crossing a bridge to get to the lake when we saw a deer crossing the river! It was so beautiful and at peace. The cutest part was when we saw its baby nursing. We didn’t want to disturb them so we left quickly! We then hiked on for about 20 minutes before we finally reached the lake. The forest was so pretty, but the lake was gorgeous and calm! It was miles long at the bottom of two mountains. We then hiked back and got on the bus where we stopped at the top of one of the two mountains. It was so windy but the view was amazing!!

We then drove into Kilkenny and went over the P.S. I Love You bridge!! I was so excited to see the bridge from the movie I watched the night before I left for Ireland! It was their meet cute. It was so cool to see and our tour guide taught us how to say I love you in Irish as we went over it.

We then got into Kilkenny and stopped at the castle first. We unfortunately did not go inside because we had to get tickets in advance and we were turned away on our guided tour. It looked very pretty on the outside and the architecture was unmatched. It was medieval, with bay windows and expansive.

We walked along the streets to shop in the little stores next. We found some souvenirs and talked to some locals who lived in the area. The shop owners were all very proud to share their life stories and what they love about their jobs! They also asked us many questions. What I found funny, however, was every person we spoke to said we had to go to this one restaurant at the Kyteler’s Inn. In the 1300’s, the owner’s daughter was accused of witchcraft. When we got there, we understood why they told us to eat there. It had amazing food! I could not believe how fresh the chicken was and how delicious it all was! We then stopped into a few more shops and explored the area before heading back to the dorms. When we returned to the dorms, I packed for Amsterdam, booked a plane to Scotland, and found a place to stay.

As a group, we then all went out to the UCD Clubhouse for some karaoke. I sang, Dancing Queen” with a group of people. It was a lot of fun!

I had to wake up early again to get to the airport in time for my flight. I was so excited to finally get to visit the Netherlands. I had to pack in a tiny tote bag however because Ryanair only allows a personal item for free. I was able to do it though and actually found out I could have packed more! At least I know for next time!

We got through security and to our gate rather quickly before boarding our plane on the tarmac! I’ve only boarded on the tarmac a few times and every time I get so excited. It feels so fancy to do it this way for some reason. I then had a middle seat between two guys who felt like my seat was also theirs and that made it feel less fancy.

After a very long hour and a half, in which I was elbowed multiple times and babies cried, we almost landed…before taking off again because a plane almost hit us! We were alright though and landed safely 10 minutes later. That is definitely something I will remember.

Passport check was over hour long! In the line though, we met a very nice British man who was very excited to talk to us about his experiences in the UK. He also explained the logistics of the tunnel that goes from London to Paris to my friends I am traveling with. We exited the airport and took a train and bus to get to the hotel. After, we checked in and locked up our things. We went out to explore for a bit! After a few hours however, one of my friends met up with her old foreign exchange student so it was just me and the other girl for a while. We went all over the city and saw places like their royal palace, the red-light district, and some of their museums! We then got dinner at a fancy restaurant before getting stroopwafel’s from a famous bakery! They were life changing! We all met back up and went out with her for a few hours to play pool before heading back to the hotel!

Sept 10-17, 2023

I had planned to write this blog on Substack but it got too complicated for me so I will continue these African Adventure posts on Tumblr.com.

This will be the journey to Kenya to participate in the volunteer program of African Impact in the Pardamat conservancy of the Kenya National Wildlife Reserve, Masai Mara.

What a long journey from Hawaii to Kenya. Fortunately I have a very good friend, Maggie, in Pacific who I get to visit when I am passing through San Francisco. I stayed two nights in her delightful company and rested up before the long flight to Kenya.

I arrived several days several days after I was exposed to Covid at work. I wore a mask on the flight but where 5 days had passed we thought we were safe, which proved to be true, but I was not fully comfortable till the 14th day had passed. I never got it. Hooray! Those around me could breathe a sigh of relief as well. I am vaccinated up to the gills so maybe that saved me?

Anyway, I digress. i flew KLM. airways which is marvelous. Great service. Seems they were always offering food or drink or hot towels. I watched 4 movies on the first leg which ended in Amsterdam for a three hour layover.

Because I get wheelchair service, I did not find my friend Joanne who was also traveling on the same flight to our destination in Kenya till we were ready to board the next flight for the final leg of our journey.

We got in somewhere around 10:30 PM after an aborted landing because there was debris on the landing strip! Finally after circling and losing our place in the landing line we did so.

Went thru the usual immigration and customs, again not seeing Joanne. I went outside and waited and waited, and was getting worried. A nice young soldier asked what I needed and he called the man who was to-pick us up, who was with Bonfire Adventures and tours. He found us and we waited some more. Finally Joanne appeared and we walked to the car and were driven to Masai Lodge near the town of Rongai. It is on the Southern border of the National Park. The drive took over an hour. The last 3 miles over an horrendous dirt road. We arrived around 1 AM pooped but happy to be back in Kenya.

We love that lodge. It. is mainly for the local people. Despite its name, it is run primarily by Samburu people. the Samburu are cousins to the Maasai. The lodge looks out over the Nairobi Game Park. Animals come into the large green area below the lodge which sits on a hill. There we see warthogs, antelope and baboons. There are tree hyrax and rock hyrax busy in the surrounding areas. The tree hyrax are quite used to people. Cute little creatures resembling a bunny without the long ears.

The 4 nights at the lodge allowed us to get over jet lag and start to get used to the altitude. It is like Denver, a mile high.

I was able to visit my dear friend, Dr. Paul Sayer, my colleague from teaching at the veterinary School in Nairobi back in 1967-1969. It was delightful to be with him and catch up on our lives and reminisce about the old days. (See-my book African Sojourns on Amazon.com to see what we did back then…)

The next day Joanne and I went to visit her friend, Rachel Kabue, who founded and runs The Cat Sanctuary in Nairobi. There are about 170 cats there now as she found homes for close to 130 of the most fit ones recently. Some there are very thin, and I fear may have some sort of blood parasite or Feline leukemia. However most are quite fit; they are all sweet and get along. She also has rescued a few dogs who live together with the cats. It is scrupulously clean with no odor.

Rachel, Some of the cats and dogs, Denise and friend, and Joanne and another rescue.

I spent one day sleeping a lot. Another day we had a guided walk by a Samburu man in full regalia looking very exotic and handsome in his colorful short dress like outfit with knee high socks and beaded ornaments and carrying the spear in case we ran into any aggressive animals. As it happened we only saw Impala and some monkeys and baboons. We met up with two Masai gentlemen in Western clothes who ran a nearby lodge and were friendly and fun. They all wanted photos which Joanne took but I have not got them right now. Will send next time.

The African Impact Driver came for us to transport us to Brackenhurst Conference Center in the Highlands in a town called Limuru. It is at 7000 feet so it has rather brisk evenings. It always tickles me when there, as after dinner, I come back to a bed with a hot water bottle in it. There we rested till the next morning where we would start out at 8:30 AM for the long drive to Pardamat.

I will write more tomorrow about the first week at the volunteer placement.

@mazur5 asked // we should go on vacation. // from here !

"Yeah? Was Poland and Scotland not enough?" Jamie asks, his voice teasing, fond. He knows that's not what Jon meant - they were in Poland and Scotland for work; they didn't exactly have the time to sightsee or try local foods or get lost in a place he'd never been to the extent that Jamie would've wanted, anyways. Their next break was all England, too - both matches in October, against Australia and Italy [ and even the first November match, against Malta ] would be played in Wembley. "How's North Macedonia sound in November? I've never been to Skopje." Jamie's fucking certain he's butchering that one. He'll listen to podcasters or pundits talk about it when the time gets closer, and he'll learn the proper pronunciation, the way he learned stroopwafel from his tour guide in Amsterdam the second time around. Pinching Jon's jaw between index finger and thumb, Jamie gently tugs his head back and forth, teasing. He smirks. "But seriously - if y'wanna spend the winter break on vacation together, I'd love that."

Buy THC Oil in Amsterdam Online: A Comprehensive Guide to Enjoying Cannabis Oil

Amsterdam has long been a global hub for cannabis culture, attracting tourists and locals alike who are eager to experience the city’s relaxed attitude toward cannabis. While many associate Amsterdam with its famous coffeeshops where cannabis can be smoked in a social setting, the city offers a variety of other cannabis products for consumers looking for different consumption methods. One such product gaining popularity is THC oil, a potent and versatile option for cannabis users seeking a more discreet and convenient way to enjoy the effects of cannabis.Buy THC oil Amsterdam online

THC oil, which is made from the active compound tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), provides a powerful and concentrated form of cannabis that can be used in various ways, from sublingual drops to vaping or even adding to food and beverages. With the growing demand for THC oil, buying cannabis products online has become a convenient and efficient way for consumers to access these high-quality oils. In this blog post, we’ll explore why you should consider buying THC oil online in Amsterdam, the benefits of using THC oil, where to buy it, and how to make safe and informed choices when purchasing online.

What is THC Oil? THC oil is an extract of cannabis that contains a high concentration of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the primary psychoactive compound in cannabis. Unlike CBD oil, which contains cannabidiol and is non-psychoactive, THC oil delivers the intoxicating effects associated with cannabis consumption, including euphoria, relaxation, and heightened sensory experiences. THC oil is typically used for recreational purposes, but it also has therapeutic applications, particularly for managing pain, nausea, and anxiety.Buy THC oil Amsterdam online

THC oil is available in various forms, including tinctures, capsules, vape cartridges, and concentrates, each offering different methods of consumption. Depending on your preferences and desired effects, THC oil can be a discreet, fast-acting, and potent way to experience cannabis.

Why Choose THC Oil? There are several reasons why THC oil has become a popular choice for cannabis consumers, especially those looking for an alternative to smoking or vaping flower. Here are some key benefits of using THC oil:

Discreet Consumption One of the primary advantages of THC oil is its discreet nature. Unlike smoking cannabis, which produces an obvious odor and requires a lighter or pipe, THC oil can be consumed quietly and without attracting attention. Whether you're using a tincture or vape pen, THC oil is a clean and subtle option for those who want to enjoy cannabis without drawing attention.

Convenience and Ease of Use THC oil is easy to dose and convenient to use. Tinctures, for example, can be placed under the tongue for fast absorption, allowing users to quickly feel the effects. Vape pens and cartridges are also user-friendly, providing an easy way to inhale THC oil without the need for complicated equipment. Additionally, THC oil can be added to edibles or beverages, giving users even more flexibility in how they consume cannabis.

Precision Dosing One of the key benefits of THC oil is the ability to precisely control the dosage. With tinctures, capsules, and vape cartridges, you can measure and regulate the amount of THC you consume, making it easier to avoid overconsumption or undesirable side effects. This is especially useful for both new users and experienced cannabis consumers who want to tailor their experience.

Potent Effects THC oil is highly concentrated, meaning that a small dose can provide a strong effect. This makes it ideal for users seeking potent relief from conditions like chronic pain, insomnia, or nausea, as well as those looking for a more intense recreational experience. THC oil is also faster-acting than edibles, as it is absorbed into the bloodstream more quickly, providing a quicker onset of effects.

Variety of Consumption Methods THC oil can be consumed in multiple ways, allowing users to find the method that works best for them. Whether you prefer sublingual tinctures, vaping, or infusing your favorite foods with cannabis oil, there are plenty of options to choose from.

Why Buy THC Oil Online in Amsterdam? Amsterdam has a robust and well-established cannabis industry, and with the rise of e-commerce, buying THC oil online has become an increasingly popular option for both locals and tourists. Here are some reasons why buying THC oil online in Amsterdam makes sense:

Convenience and Accessibility Online dispensaries allow you to browse a wide selection of THC oil products from the comfort of your own home or hotel room. You can explore different brands, products, and potencies, and easily compare options before making a purchase. Shopping online saves you the time and effort of visiting multiple stores, and many online retailers offer delivery straight to your door.

Wider Product Selection While physical dispensaries and coffeeshops in Amsterdam may have a limited selection of THC oil products, online dispensaries often offer a much broader range. You’ll have access to various brands, product types (tinctures, vape pens, capsules, etc.), and strains, allowing you to find the exact product that meets your needs. Additionally, many online shops carry hard-to-find or specialty items that you may not easily find in-store.

Better Prices and Discounts Online dispensaries often offer competitive pricing, as they have fewer overhead costs than brick-and-mortar shops. Additionally, many online cannabis retailers offer special promotions, sales, and discounts that can help you save money on your THC oil purchase. Some even offer loyalty programs or bundles, allowing you to purchase more for less.

Discreet and Secure Shopping Purchasing THC oil online offers greater privacy and discretion compared to shopping in a physical store. Many online dispensaries take extra precautions to ensure your information is protected, and their packaging is often discreet, so you don’t have to worry about your cannabis purchase being obvious. Additionally, many online retailers provide secure payment options and encryption to safeguard your personal and financial details.

Access to Product Information and Reviews Shopping online gives you the opportunity to read product descriptions, ingredients, and customer reviews. This helps you make informed decisions and ensures that you’re purchasing a high-quality product that fits your needs. You can also verify that the THC oil is lab-tested and compliant with local regulations, which is crucial for ensuring safety and quality.

How to Buy THC Oil Online in Amsterdam Safely While buying THC oil online in Amsterdam is convenient, it’s important to approach it with caution to ensure that you're purchasing from a reputable and trustworthy source. Here are some tips for buying THC oil safely online:

Choose a Licensed and Reputable Dispensary Always buy from licensed and established dispensaries that comply with Dutch cannabis regulations. Look for online retailers with a solid reputation, and read customer reviews to gauge the quality of their service and products. Established dispensaries often carry a wide range of lab-tested products and have a customer service team that can answer any questions you may have.

Check Product Lab Testing and Quality A reputable dispensary will provide lab testing results for their THC oil products, ensuring that they are free from harmful contaminants like pesticides or mold. Look for THC oil that has been tested for potency and purity, so you can be confident in the quality of the product you’re purchasing. The THC concentration should also be clearly listed on the product description, so you know exactly what you’re getting.

Secure Payment and Shipping Ensure that the online dispensary offers secure payment methods, such as credit cards or trusted payment processors. Avoid sharing sensitive financial information unless the website uses encryption (look for “https” in the URL). Additionally, confirm that the dispensary offers reliable shipping methods with tracking options, so you can monitor your order’s progress.

Verify Shipping and Delivery Options Make sure that the online dispensary ships to your location in Amsterdam, and check for any additional shipping fees or delivery timeframes. Many online cannabis retailers offer free or low-cost shipping within the city, but it’s always a good idea to verify before placing an order.

Buying THC oil online in Amsterdam is a convenient, discreet, and efficient way to access high-quality cannabis products. Whether you're a local resident or a tourist visiting the city, shopping online gives you the opportunity to explore a wide selection of THC oils, compare different products, and make an informed purchase from the comfort of your home. With its variety of consumption methods, potency, and fast-acting effects, THC oil is an excellent choice for both recreational and medicinal users looking for a concentrated form of cannabis. Just be sure to purchase from reputable dispensaries, check product quality, and follow safe online shopping practices to ensure a positive experience. Enjoy the convenience and benefits of THC oil while discovering the best Amsterdam has to offer in the cannabis world.

Innovative Experiences: Integrating technology and creativity to deliver memorable events.

Their ability to manage intricate details ensures businesses can focus on achieving their objectives without distractions.

Adapting to Changing Trends

The travel industry is evolving rapidly, influenced by technology, sustainability, and shifting consumer preferences. Both MICE planners and student travel operators are embracing these changes to stay relevant.

Digital Transformation

Virtual tours, online booking platforms, and AI-driven recommendations are transforming how travel is planned and experienced. These tools make it easier for students to customize their journeys and for businesses to host impactful events.

Focus on Wellness and Personalization

Wellness tourism and personalized experiences are gaining traction. Student tours now include wellness retreats and mental health workshops, while MICE planners incorporate wellness breaks into corporate events. This holistic approach ensures participants’ well-being, enhancing the overall experience.

Case Study: A European Journey for Students

Imagine a group of university students embarking on a 10-day tour across Europe. The itinerary includes visits to:

Paris: A guided tour of the Eiffel Tower and the Louvre Museum.

Rome: Exploring the Colosseum and Vatican City.

Amsterdam: A canal cruise and a visit to the Anne Frank House.

The tour is organized by a dedicated student travel company, ensuring affordability and safety. Meanwhile, local MICE planners assist in arranging accommodations and transportation, showcasing the synergy between these travel segments.

Conclusion

The travel industry’s diversity is exemplified by MICE planners, student Europe travel packages, and student tours Europe. Each segment plays a unique role in enriching travel experiences, whether for corporate professionals or young adventurers.

As the world becomes more interconnected, these travel solutions will continue to thrive, adapting to new trends and expectations.
