....................................................................... TB Koumesovo geopivo DDEV7M Velk cesta do Ocenie - den 61 - Otira, West Coast - Christchurch, Cantenbury, South Island, Nov Zland (asi 200 km) Kupodivu jsem se v tom bizarnm hotelu docela dobe vyspala, i kdy Kiwi Rail (mstn eleznin dopravce) jezdil i v noci a v kaonu se to hodn rozlhalo. Vzbudila jsem se do chladnho horskho rna, ale dn mraky a u i vykukovalo slunce. A taky bylo cel den ndhern do 21C. Uvala jsem si cestu s vhledy po Grand Alpine Hwy cel den. Odlovila jsem spoustu keek na zajmavch mstech nebo jen u cesty a la i na pr krtkch vychzek teba ke skalnm tvarm. Projela jsem pes Arthur Pass a v mstn obci m na dlouho zdreli asn zbavn papouci Kea, kterm tu kaj hort klauni. A lumpaili teda dost. U mstn kavrny haj na lidi a jakmile si nco polo na stolek, jdou po tom. Nejdv rozflkali hrnek od kafe a pak se snaili sebrat i mj slan kol, ale zavas jsem reagovala a o obd nepila. V pozdnm odpoledni jsem u sjela z hor a docela byla rda za kus rovn silnice. Pece jen tden stle zatet trochu unav. Ped Christchurch jsem si jet nala srii challeng a tm dnen spn a krsn den zakonila a jela se ubytovat do blzkosti letit, odkud rno letm na severn ostrov do Wellingtonu. Dojedla jsem njak zbytky, dopila lhev kanadsk whiskey a balm kufry. Jin ostrov je krsn a 2 tdny na jeho prohldku nesta. Cel sever jsem nevidla a i v ostatnch stech ostrova mi zbyla msta, kam bych se jet chtla podvat.I slept today in a nearby bizarre hotel Otira Stagecoach Hotel and in the morning I set off for a mountain ride on the Grand Alpine Hwy. It was beautiful sunny weather and I really enjoyed the trip with views, caches and a few walks. I was also very amused by the Kea parrots, which take care of the entertainment of tourists in Arthurs Pass at the caf. I found a total of 40 caches and in the evening I arrived in Christchurch, from where I am leaving tomorrow for the North Island. Thanks to everyone for the caches and greetings from the Czech Republic.
Big hiking day today: first up and down Avalanche Peak, suberb track & views! Placed a cache at the summit there, should be published soon. Then a few more hours in and around the village. Very enjoyable day!Nice little village with so much interesting history. Quick find, tftc!
After years on our bucket list and three cancellations due to Covid, we are thrilled to finally be here. Following several cruises we flew from Sydney, Australia to Wellington, New Zealand to begin our next adventure. Picked up our rental vehicle and will be driving, exploring, hiking, and caching both islands for 3.5 weeks. It was raining steadily, but we had umbrellas so off we went. Not any muggles around with the rainy conditions so searching, retrieving, adding our ink to the log, and placing the cache back as found was much easier. Thanks for adding to our adventure today, Nukeworker and Racquetball Girl, Arkansas, USA
Found it on our Tour from Hokotika to Kaikoura, making a short stop for a coffee. Greetings from GermanyTFTC FaM11

During our holiday in NZ we, together with geosnuf, also look for a geocache here and there, like this one.We enjoy the beautiful nature, the pleasant encounters and the nice caches.Cache owner thanks for posting and maintaining.
I did stop for this one when I arrived on Friday night but my gps was pointing behind the house on the opposite side of the road which didn't feel right so left it. Today it was pointing in a more logical direction and found the cache immediately. TFTC benebbwilliams

Quick find on my way back to the cafe for ice cream. Surprisingly large cache for the location - obviously safe from the kea warned about on the nearby sign. TFTC
Got left in the village to cache, when some family went on to see the road bridge, not got my pen, off to see if village shop might sell me one!
On my way to the Punchbowl falls, but stopped here first 
Found a parking space, looked at the obvious, then realised there was another obvious spot, and there was the cache.
Thanks for the hide benebbwilliams, and for bringing me here

Spotted it on approach coming to the devil's punchbowl. Nice big cache, in good condition. Thanks!
Stopped in Arthur's pass for lunch and a walk around. Found on our way into the village. Has the container grown or the hole shrunk? Nice quick find. Thanks for the cache.
This cache did not have us stumped for long. Quick find of this decent sized contain the obvious spot behind rocks. TFTC
This one has been on my radar for awhile but we never had time or kid minutes to find it. Today little miss 4 made the find. Thanks for the cache!
21 October 2021 13:56. Stopped here for a coffee and to find the Earthcache information. TFTC.
#10,030. Day 2 of the extended Labour Weekend geocaching road trip. I flew down with geocaching buddy Infoferret yesterday with a target list of geotour caches, adventure labs, puzzle finals, a few virtuals and a hike to get the DGSC final. We can't resist stopping to pick up a few traditionals on the way to boost the overall numbers. The Adventure Labs claimed during the week down south have thrown my overall numbers into chaos. Maybe the souvenir 10,000 find will pop up today rather than on Bank's Peninsula. Who knows when.
After stopping for a well earned rest and a coffee at the village, it was time to resume caching once more. Parked close by and IF soon spotted the cache in a place that I was not expecting. Signed the logbook, replaced the cache where found and on our way again. Thanks benebbwilliams for hiding it here.

A wonderfully easy find as I wandered back from the falls to the carpark in fading light. The ute parked here, next to the No Parking sign, gave me some shelter from the icy wind as I filled in the log. Only my 2nd find today due to rubbish weather early in the day and then unsuccessful kea searching when the conditions improved. TFTC
Had spent the night in the village, and went for this one just before we left. A few campervans across the road, so sat down and tried to look surreptitious. The last word of the hint item seems to have turned to stone . TFTC.
