I couldn't tell you how much the flights and accomodation were - it was a surprise present so I don't like to pry! Cost of living was about the same as northern france/england, so not cheap but not astronomical. The buds are amazing and cost less than from a dealer in the UK. I got the seeds thru customs sewn into the hem of my t-shirt. I tucked it into my trousers afterwards. Got frisked very carefully and everything, but he didn't get me!
I'd recommend a trip to Amsterdam to everyone - it was fantastic. We went for 3 nights, and in 4 days we got to see and do everything we wanted to do while there (well, I say that, but I wanted to go to a sex show with the missus - she was having none of it).
Cheers guys
