Find by pnutbeagle and The Marathon Man (on vacation from Ontario, Canada) during our vacation to New Zealand and Australia

Now geocaching on our last full day in New Zealand before we fly to Australia on Friday, April 22 - we found 15 today which makes about 200 for our time in New Zealand - would have found more but too busy sightseeing

We needed pnutbeagle to find this one

14-Mar-16
Monday Night Mad Mission with TheWanglers.....and purdiepurdie joined in the fun. We decided to head Akaroa way to clear up a few caches......a fantastic evenings adventure that ended up getting us home in the wee small hours of Tuesday morning! Great fun. Logs signed in various shorthanded and underhanded manners depending on the mood of the evening.
Perfect timing with the new maintenance & it being late evening. Muggle sitting outside the pub down the way a bit but he was engrossed in his phone so didn't even look up when I inspected the roasting pit & came up with the find and sign. Cheers.
 
13-Mar-16
On a maintenance run to Akaroa today. This cache seems to have been eaten. Replacement in place.
 
20-Jan-16
Hope this will be back up by the time our cruise ship stops nearby! The pots look scary! Coming from the USA on Feb. 17th. Fingers crossed!
 
14-Jan-16
Now, I am dying of curiosity. We hunted below and further below, without luck, yet among a string of DNFs, there was one lucky GCer. Would really like to know if it was where it should be on the day we were there!
 
12-Jan-16
Looks like it might have gone again. Will try to get over to fix up soon.
 
12-Jan-16
One of my first on my trip around the South Island in the New Year 2016.

02-Jan-16
Found it quite easily.
 
30-Dec-15
After a lovely dinner, decided to have another crack at this one, particularly after the recent find by another cacher.

Searched high and low again but to no avail.

This one either has us well and truly stumped or is missing!

Leaving Akaroa tomorrow so will hand over finding duties to future cachers! Dam DNF in a sea of smiley faces!
 
29-Dec-15
With 2 cruise ships in port and lots of Holliday makers around had no luck today finding this one

For about 20 mintues, we crawled around trying to find the cache. It started to rain. lightly at first, and then it turned into a downpour. We also had to rush to catch the last tender back to our cruise ship. Sadly, we had to leave this one unfound. If we ever get back to New Zealand, we'll try again!
 
12-Dec-15
We were fairly early so we could crawl around without drawing too much attention to ourselves. Unfortunately we didn't discover the cache

15-Sep-15
After some fish and chips there was still time left to search and find this one!
 
12-Sep-15
Went for a maintenance run on my caches around the Summit Road to Akaroa. Unable to find this cache by torchlight even with several attempts (while not too many muggles were around). If you find a 'coffin' shaped geocaching container with a huge magnet on it I'd love to get it back. Replaced with a standard boring container, but as I love all the comments and photos I get with this cache I want to keep it 'live'.
 
27-Jul-15
Found it. But we don't cooked anybody. we had no salt. :

Der kleine wurde schnell gefunden. Aber wir hatten kein Salz dabei. Deshalb konnten wir niemanden kochen. Smile

This weekend Mrs Dragon and I took a longer break than normal as a chance to catch up with a few friends and collect the odd cache or two all on a grabaseat deal from home.
Thankfully the weather stayed most excellent throughout and we managed to see many of the sights that we had not visited previousley.
Had just finished breakfast along the Pier of a Fish Sandwich (Bloody good it was too) and then a little walk along the Promenade looking at the arttsy fartsy craft shops. What an amazing place and one I've been told we have to come back to when we have more time.

So again thank you for the FUN of the hunt Cool
 
22-Jul-15
Fun fun fun thank you Smile
 
12-Jul-15
