Tales from my travels
Having thought for a long time that gymnastics was something you could only do as a kid, I’ve joined the Sparta Gym Club in Delft. Despite the muscle ache, bruises and embarrassment at my own ungainlyness, I’m making some progress and more importantly, really enjoying both the gymnastics and the social aspect.
Maybe old dogs can learn new tricks after all.
The EPO Photo Club’s annual photo exhibition, Photex, is opening on the 20th November, and will include 4 photographs from the trip I made to South Africa in June 2006.
Dad found the cache and, reading the log, I was amused to see that the first person to find the cache was also called Tasha, and had found the cache on my birthday. A nice coincidence!
Mum was very proud to find the cache, and to celebrate, took the Tarka the Otter DVD we found there, which we replaced by some pens. ( I watched the DVD some months later – it’s just as much of a tearjerker as I remembered!)
Rereading the log of my visit, I realise that we promised one of Jen’s poems… maybe we can revisit on my next trip!
(We had a quick look for another cache GCRRQE 2 days later on the way to the airport, but the pouring rain and lack of time defeated us)
I came to Madrid in an attempt to escape the dreary January weather, only to find that it travelled with me.
After the success of my first Geocache, I set out on a hunt for my second – a multi-cache, which took me on a small walk between a number of monuments – certainly a nice way of discovering some parts of the city which I might otherwise not have visited. Having found it, I must admit that I passed much of the rest of the afternoon travelling from tapas bar to tapas bar, where at least I could stay a little warmer!
Since I’m writing this two years on, it’s sad to report that neither of these two caches is still active.
It may only have been a coin, cunningly hidden in the base of a statue, but this was my first ever geocache!
