Where else in the world could there be a Hemp Hotel? I can actually think of a few places, but there is one in Amsterdam, which makes more sense than just about anywhere. Specific details on this place are hard to come by, and don’t expect much help on the official Hemp Hotel website, which [...]

I’ve not mentioned this thing before, and I’ve not yet been aboard it, but I did think it was worth mentioning that Amsterdam’s famous Botel moved locations at the beginning of 2008. The new location sounds very interesting, although it’s now a bit more of a challenge to get there and back.
