Logs
I had problems getting to the right spot with maintenance workers closing off parts of the road as I approached where the GPS was pointing.
The area did not appear to match the cache location so I moved to where I thought it should be and then using the clues and reading the previous logs I picked a spot to look and luckily I felt something move. I actually dislodged it and had to reach further to retrieve it.
The GPS at this time was placing me 80 metres from GZ. I looked a couple of coins and TB through as I had not located a larger cache in HK.

Quite a nice area, lots of tourist and expat places and not so crowded streets. The cache took some time to find as the GPS is quite useless in this urban environment. I passed the hiding place for about 10 times before actually taking a closer look.
I actually managed to tuck in a small geocoin.
TFTC. Great Hide.
A now time for a well deserved beer at Staunton Street.

Looked around a bit before re-reading the clue, and then it was a quick find. Thanks for bringing us to this interesting and historic place of Hong Kong's history.
The photo of view from the cache made this fun trying to get the the height correct when pretending to tie shoe laces..
After visiting the museum, and considering the comments in the previous logs, it was a rather straighforward find. A lot of mugglers around on Sunday. TFTC.
