On a geoholiday road tripping to Christchurch MEGA and around beautiful New Zealand. Our four people group (temyllyl, laalaa, kapeka and myself) from Finland used group tag FIN to log the caches.



Today we drove around the Lake Taupo. Of course some caching on the way. We had lots of fun and saw many nice places and caches. Thanks for the cache!


Welcome to MEGA Finland in 5-7 august 2016!

FIN (laalaa, janahola, temyllyl, kapeka) holiday in New Zealand. Wonderful country. Today we drove around the Lake Taupo.
Greetings from Finland.
Thanks for the cache.
 
30-Oct-15
Found it with Team FIN [janahola, kapeka, laalaa & temyllyl]

We had fun with caching few weeks here in New Zealand. Lots of geocaches and many sort of them too. We saw awesome places, weather was pretty good all the time and people were friendly and polite. Caches were pretty similar like in our home country. Of course there were some exeptions. Nice and really scenary country!

Greetings from Finland

Visiting from Australia and grabbing some caches while traveling from Rotorua to Ohakune. We decided to stop in town and grab a couple caches, this was our first.
