Space Cake is a Crime Man...

A few days back we headed off to Abraxas, this chilled out shop around the middle of Amsterdam Central, with intentions of trying some space cake. After some asking around it turns out the recent closure and raids of shops had all but banned sales of space cake in Amsterdam. The reasoning was tourists were eating too much because of the delayed effects. After that they would freak out and go to the hospital leaving bills unpaid and the dutch unhappy. So spacecake has gone underground!
Abraxas pointed us to a good location so we went and grabbed a brownie and a muffin. All over the package were warnings about waiting for 2 hours before eating anymore, and that its effects vary. So this actually came with a warning sticker... sort of like a pack of cigarettes. We headed back to where we are staying and ate our tasty new treats with some milk and waited, and waited...
Now at home I use a little "vapapoo" cooked into butter thats really good. It seems the amount left inside the f iberous material are all easily leeched by butter and a slow simmer for up to 24 hours. The taste isn't very good, but these weren't very tasty either. Unfortunately the muffins and brownie just didn't do much at all. We chilled out for a bit and wound up heading out that evening feeling fine. So much for spacecake freaking us out..
Of course besides all the coffee shops, we found this excellent deal for museums. There is a Iamsterdam company that you can buy a card from. pay more and get less. But the State also has a card that works all over Nederlands. Some serious places like Anne Franks house (its pretty intense), to art museums with works from Chagall, Renoir, Rembrandt, as well as all the Dutch masters. They even have right around us these older homes open, and when I mean older I mean 1600's old. You can see how short people were then in the bed boxes and door frames.
More about the redlight district later!
