Our aim is not to make our caches too difficult but we would like you to have to work a little for your reward so don’t expect much information.
Happy Caching!!
Our plan was to do a few local caches whilst here this weekend but there are so few in this beautiful place we used to call “Home” we decided to create a new one. Our friends here will help to maintain it if necessary but we are often here ourselves also.
This is a small cache holding the logbook, a pencil and just a few smaller items along with a Geocoin which we picked up on this trip to celebrate a certain “Special” Birthday of one of our team members.
From the cache site you get a good view down the rugged Costa Brava coast.
Remember – Leave nothing but footprints – Take nothing but photo’s and memories.
For full details of this cache please visit Geocaching.com
We will certainly do our best to get to this event. This is the area of Germany where Nicky grew up and is a great caching area. It’s a long way off yet so plenty of time to work around to it.

It took a while and I don’t really know what we did to deserve this one but who is complaining. The previous souvenir awarded was for being at the Spanish Mega Event on 10-10-2010 which was part of a worldwide attempt to break the record for getting the most people out geocaching on the same day and it was a great success with the record smashed. I guess the new one was just for us accidentally being in Nordrhein-Westfalen at the right time, and we will most certainly be back, we love that area of Germany.
Guest Post:
The metropolis of Barcelona has exclusive setting, modern day perception and awe-inspiring sites, that makes it a favorite destination for the holiday-makers who are arranging a short stay or a longer, family or friends vacation, while staying in an excellent Barcelona accommodation. Barcelona is the second largest Spanish settlement, that is in addition a capital of Catalonia region. There are a lot of reasons to come to Barcelona, amongst which being its amazing architecture, its several historical sites and ethnical monuments, and also its beautiful piazzas and recreation zones. Most favored zones among the many vacationers are the ancient quarter Ciutat Vella, the Barceloneta region with its exotic beaches and outdoor dining places. In the event that the traveler has 4 or 5 nights, it is a great thought to use the first day here to get to know the area and walk along Placa d’Espanya with its street music artists and bands and water fountains, the square La Placa Reial, and further the Montjuic Castle wherefrom are revealed wonderful views in the direction of the city. An excellent destination for the night walks could be the Boulevard La Rambla which spreads from the Harbor and the Columbus Monument to the square La Placa Catalunya and is a tree-lined avenue rich in flower shops, fast-food restaurants and newspaper-stands, performers and band members. Kids will probably be thrilled to go to the Barcelona Zoo and the L’Aquarium, while their dads will certainly appreciate the Olympic City and the arena of FC Barcelona – Camp Nou. These travelers, that like art, must pay a visit to the Museum of Barcelona, the Museu d’Historia de Catalunya, the intriguing Football Museum and Museum de l’Erotica de Barcelona, and also the emblematic Picasso Museum and Museum of Joan Miro. Symbol of Barcelona however, is the architecture of Gaudi, that might be enjoyed in the Park Guell with its sculptures and big panoramic terrace looking over the city below, the cathedral Sagrada Familia in the central area which must be finished, plus the houses La Casa Batillo and Casa Mila. In Barcelona are being organized many yearly events and festivals, such as Festes de Gracia and Festes de la Merce, Fira de Santa Llucia and Revetlla de Sant Joan, etc. The Spanish city is near to an enormous amusement park Porta Ventura, that is ideal place for a day with the kids outside Barcelona. Further to all that, in Barcelona are available plenty of restaurants, outdoor bars and fast-food restaurants, plus fashionable pubs and party clubs open all night long.
