Its gone missing and it's time to go. Time someone else had an opportunity to hide one near the Plaza. Thanks to all the people who found this one.
Adding to the blue face brigade. Granted it was a very quick look due to the numerous DNFs previously but certainly nothing that leapt out...
we had a good look around but couldn't spot anything! it may have gone missing
Was dark when I went looking but was still easy to find. Signed log and replaced where I found it. TFTC!
Just as the name says, I had some shopping to do at the plaza and saw this was located close. It would have been rude not to take a quick detour and retrieve this, don't you think? TFTC
We were in the area today so went for a short walk. Quick find as there was no body around to hinder our search. TFTC
On a trip over the Kaimais to escape the fog/rain & enjoy some lovely mid-winter BOP sunshine instead. Another nice quick find. Cache signed & replaced as found, on my way again! TFTC
doing a spot of shopping with the family and this one is on out to find list. nice quick find. tftc
Nice quick find as Team Welsh and I grabbed caches on a sunny day in Tauranga. T4tc
Was great to meet an ex Auckland cacher Billelle and go out caching with him while I was on holiday .
A quick easy find with a fellow casher Super Nanny from Auckland who is visiting friends. Be mindful of muggles

been at the mount visiting parents for the weekend, and decided to get up early this Sunday morning and find some caches! Ok, so maybe 6am caching is kind of early, but there isn't anyone around.... So I jumped in the car and headed down to Papamoa, promising myself I'd stop when it hit breakfast time 
. As I walked down to here I could here noises coming from the shopping mall close by. Had a moment of wondering if this cache would be underwater, after the first pass at GZ turned up nothing. I went back and it was actually located using my hands, didn't know what I'd found until I pulled it out. Then it was the task of trying to get into the bugger - the lid was stuck.
Still, another cache down, and it's nearly time to go climb the mount.

Accidentally forgot to post online it was put out but it is now put out.
Thanks Andre2oz

Another quick find for little side kick after a McDonald's treat. Thanks for the cache!
Chacked on geocache today. Log is a little wet, still able to write in, but I will replace with a new log tomorrow.

Another FTF hunt to Tauranga this time, and again beaten to it, decided to carry on caching for the afternoon as we had not been here for caching reasons for a long time, got a haul of 20 for the afternoon/evening.

Parked the Geomobile nearby and there were a couple of smoochy teenagers having a wee heart to heart. They kept watching us as we got out of the car as if to say - "what are you doing here" however they soon returned to their smooching and didn't watch us walking to GZ. Mr S spotted the cache and we soon had it signed and replaced without any muggle interference. The log is wet tho still signable.
Thanks for another smilie in Tauranga andre2oz.

2505 Today I am in Papamoa but the sunny weather has deserted me. The rain has set in so a quick dash and then under cover to sign.
I am back in Papamoa again for a couple of days to attend the GIFF event, to visit some great friends and to sign off a few more caches before heading further eastwards. Even did some shopping as well.
Cheers for the cache.
Cheers for the cache.
Not a great day to go caching, very windy but decided to grab this one anyway. Was a quick find, signed and returned. Thanks for the cache 
Access nearby to Papamoa Plaza was closed but still a nice idea to go there after a quick find of this cache.

String hanging but no cache. Don't know if connected to cache before? Can't find it.
Pretty sure this one is missing in action. Maybe someone can prove me wrong.
Another quick find today.Fortunately very quiet so easy to retrieve ,sign and replace.Tftc
Had a day off work due to showery weather and my sister (CeeVee) was up for a couple of days. Time do go geocaching. TFTC
Up from the Bay ( Hawkes Bay that is ) for a visit. Sister had a day off work, due to the weather, so caching we go. A quick easy find. TFTC Cheers.
Great day for caching today, fine and mild, not too many people around. Happy Mothers Day. Easy find, cache all good. TFTC
found with jetcar19. had to wait while man with noisey grass blower passed. Quickgrap. TFTC
We weren't tempted by the shops as we are on a caching mission. We did get twisters from KFC though, and took them down to the beach with our thermos for a quick picnic.
Dinky little cache in a wee walkway. Lovely sunny day to be out and about. Thank you
Nice find. Looked in the wrong spot for a moment but quickly found the right place. TFTC.
Easter Weekend and a post on Facebook for a bike ride to collect a few caches. Excellent idea so joined in. TFTC
