It was a beautiful day in Tauranga today . We were able to find 2 caches here. this was one of them .MPLC and greetings from us from Germany.
We stayed at City Suites, didnt realized there is a cache opposite our stay, we just walked over to this Tennis Club, as we walked in, luckily no one stopped us why an Asian couple doing here lol.Anyway, as we walked closer to GZ, looked like an easy catch but we were wrong, we looked everywhere but came out nothing until my geo wife saw it, took it out & surprised me, she has better skill than me. Quote a long list of names & log sheet in good condition.TFTC to Co, nice hideout !!
Came with Ramakristan to look for this cache opposite where we stayed at City Suites, a nice quiet place to stay a night. We walked to GZ but couldnt find it while others said is super easy find, not us & took a bit sometime until we found it, it was there but we must have missed it. TFTC to Co, placing a nice cache here.
NEET location! Quick and easy find. We were chased from our last cache by some muggles so it was good to have some success
quick and easy find but not all where it was supposed to be. I tried my best to place the cache back in what I think was the original spot.

The other team members were still up North, so I earmarked Saturday for a caching day. Tried to focus on solved puzzles, and was hoping to knock off a couple of wherigos but ran out of time. Here in the rain, but thankful that good coordinates and hint had me right on the money. Had my hands on this one within seconds of reaching the location. Lovely spot here - would be great for a whanau picnic. SL. Returned as found. TFTC!
# #7,165 #----------The walk up to here was pretty pleasant. Arrived at GZ there thankfully no one was waiting there so that made finding and replacing all very easy here. TFTC!!! ----------> All geocaches are signed as mmmPIZZA or mPZ
Stopped by this great park. We live on our boat and now are about to explore this country by campervan. We love Tauranga.
Well done cache! We are in the area on our boat, loving the region. Today is a cloudy day, so doing errands and finding caches.
Great little park to bring my nephews along to. Bribing them with a lolly for every cache they find.
Cache replaced today - our apologies to those who have tried recently to find it, and it wasn't there. Happy caching everyone
No one around so had a good opportunity to have a thorough look. Hint is explicit, but could not find anything
I think its gone. According to the comments here, it was supposed to be under the seat facing north (the mount) But there is nothing. Ive even checked the table and the seat on the other side. Sad
found it, it was nice sitting down and looking at the mounth thanks for the find
Had some time this afternoon to wander around town and back down the main street. The cache was easily found with the hint. Also ticked off a task for the NZ monopoly too. Ngā mihi, TFTC
It was a great experience. It was my first found ever and I was so excited (like a kid) so I encourage everyone to do it. So much fun to do with family and the small ones at home.
I didn’t have a pen with me when I found it so please bring it have one with you all the time

Managed to nip here after work before it got dark. Weather not good but luckily made a dash for it and with such a good hint cache in hand in no time. Tftc
Beautiful tree and nice domain. A few groups were playing bowls and cricket. We were alone in the playground. Easy find at GZ. Both container and logbook were in good condition. Visiting Tauranga today, we had no luck with the weather and barely saw sun in the last week. At least, it's not raining.
Day 13 on our holiday in New Zealand. Today we are in the area and surrounding area of Rotorua. We also visited this tradi, found it, and signed the logbook.
***T4T$ - Many Thanks to Lion Fish for hiding and maintaining of this cache*** ️

Checked on cache today, after the recent DNF. Happy to report that it is still there and that no maintenance was required.
This one took us forever and I mean ages dude I looked under there yay super happy
Quick find with a few muggle friends, they were gobsmacked at how many geocaches there were around Tauranga, just shows how this community has grown
Over from Australia for two weeks so many more cache opportunities
That’s 250 caches for me!!!!!

Almost gave up as someone was sat above the cache. Luckily they walked off and I could grab it and sign the log.
Quick find before the Southern Hoiho vs Whai women’s basketball game with @bronwyn
Lovely misty view of the Mount tonight from here. Always great to find a cache close to the accommodation on a work trip! Such a nice spot. TFTC.
An overcast day, a very busy spot. Loved watching the planes fly in and out, beautiful view of the Mount. Needs a new logbook as there is only one more space left.
Nice easy find in a deserted domain. Log may need replacing soon as it’s getting a bit full. Thanks!
A second, closer look and it’s been found this time! Many muggles around tonight but we were extremely secret squirrel. We’ve got the bug for this now. TFTC
We’re new here but we looked in the same spot you’ve all been to before, the hint seemed pretty obvious but we didn’t find anything here tonight. Will try again
