Very cool find

Automatic translation: En : Last short day on New Zealand soil. We visit the city while waiting for our guide to take us to the airport. We take the opportunity to look for some caches. Thank you to all the installers for the work carried out for our greatest pleasure. Greetings from France. Our Travel Bugs pass through this cache but do not come out of our backpack; they continue the adventure with us. Trip to New Zealand, decided very quickly , but that didn't stop us from preparing a small file of caches to search, as far as possible. The GC46 was, of course, at the top of that list! and there you have it, we visited it during our stay in Wellington. Yesss!! Our program should allow us to discover a large part of this country.Fr : Dernire petite journe sur le sol no-zlandais. Nous visitons la ville en attendant que notre guide nous conduise l'aroport.

Thanks!

Owl and Eagle were in town on the Royal Princess and had planned to spend the day in Lyttleton, but when it became apparent that the wait for shuttles into the town had a delay of 2-4 hours, they made the last minute decision to take a shuttle to Christchurch. So much for planning and pocket queries! Owl is now realising all the caches she walked past because the edge of the query was about here, but at least she got this one. Took longer than it should have but what an interesting tree!

Thanks for the cache. The description urges to read more - this one reads as a serious teaser.

We passed by here on our stroll through Christchurch and quickly found what we were looking for.Many thanks for placing and maintaining the cache and best wishes from Frankfurt am Main.TFTCFBBHaegar

Thanks heaps

A quick find on a quiet day in the city. Thanks for bringing us here.

Nice

Oppose our hotel. Visiting from MSW Australia TFTC

A quick crap really nice place. Tftc. Greetings from Germany

Quick find outside our hotel. SL TFTC

Walking back to our accommodation passed through the square so had to stop of course...

After dropping our camper off at the airport we headed into town for a wander around. This was the closest cache to where we stopped for lunch - and a very easy find !TFTC LinseyG

After 16 years it was time for Tiz13 to revisit the CBD of Christchurch not just as a tourist but as a Geocacher this is one of the caches Snips and Co and l stopped to grab along the way ...We met the Swede's again from yesterdays event who pointed us in the right direction.

The morning we met 4 lovely Swedish ladies at their event. Now we meet them again in the park. It's fun bumping into people doing the same thing as you in a strange city Interesting cache description for this one.Found during the Dunedin Mega Tour by Tiz13 and Snips and Co.Thanks for the cache Aslan*

Four Swedish ladies walking around in Christchurch. We log as TULP. Thank you

We are four ladies from Sweden on visit in New Zealand. We log as TULP (tigertassen, ursus67, lnganfans and pidjas). Today we took a walking tour in the city of Christchurch. We walked quite some time and the weather was a bit cool so we stayed for a warm coffee. A big thank you to CO for the cache.

D var det dags fr lite ventyr. Resan gr till Sydney i Australien och sedan vidare till Christchurch och Dunedin p Nya Zeeland .P resan ker Tigertassen, jag sjlv, ursus67, Lnganfans och Pidjas, vilket gr att vi loggar under det gemensamma namnet "Tulp". Tanken r att vi innan vi ker hemt ska ha beskt ett Megaevent, Geo Toroa.Hlsningar frn Sverige, sdra Lappland Then it was time for a little adventure. The trip goes to Sydney in Australia and then on to Christchurch and Dunedin in New Zealand .On the trip are, Tigertassen, myself, ursus67, Lnganfans and Pidjas go, which means that we log under the common name "Tulp". The idea is that before we go home we should have visited a Megaevent, Geo Toroa. Greetings from Sweden, southern Lapland

We are four ladies from Sweden who are visiting Australia and New Zeeland We are logged as TULP This was one of the caches we found Thanks from Sweden

TFTC,

Cool for kids.

Found with friends but now creating my own account.

Found easy find

TFTC found after a family party at bloody marys.

We are visiting New Zealand for 2 weeks on a family holiday from Brisbane. We only had one day to spend in Christchurch so after taking a tour around the town on the tram, I left the family at the awesome Margaret Mahy playground and took off to find some important geocaches.I had spent most of the afternoon collecting caches and AdLabs around the city but it was getting late and I needed to go home and get dinner for the family. I headed back to our apartment and happened to walk by this cache. The last one for the day and a nice quick find here. Thanks Aslan* for placing this cache here for me to find!

Thanks for the cache

Had a good bit of free time in Christchurch, so I was able to wander about the central part of the city for four hours and collect a total of thirteen finds.

Nice spot

Nice hide, and ended up explaining Geocaching to a different kind of explorer in the area - one with a metal detector, who often comes across geocachers in his travels. Fun times! Tftc!
