Day 22 of our Enzed adventures with Robmc and today we tried to collect a few remaining caches and venture across to Kelvin Heights. We were thwarted by roadworks and lack of parking on a few.At least there was parking here. And a convenience.Thanks for contributing to our amazing holiday TeamCacheventures

I dropped off my bag and then went for a walk around the airport to find the labs and drop off a Trackable. No trouble finding the cache. Can the CO please mark the other TB missing and keep the cache inventory up to date. Reading the logs, it doesnt seem that TB has been in the cache. Thanks - always good to have a cache near an airport. FP bc I appreciate that for trackables.

We have arrived in New Zealand and are enjoying the fresh air, the clear lake and the great landscape. We are exploring the area, but not without heading to one or two caches and finding and logging them. Virtual and lab caches always have interesting places and sculptures. Many thanks to all owners and greetings from the Moorhelmi from Germany

#21261 - 12:21:09 PM; Day eight of the GeoToroa Mega Road Trip with Sol de lune and our better halves as well as our last morning in New Zealand. After breakfast the ladies set off for some more retail therapy in town, while Sdl and I headed out for some last minute caching in and around the CBD. Picked up half a dozen before heading to the airport for the flight home. Collected this one as we headed towards the terminal building and the cache was returned as found after signing the log.

On secondment to Melbourne, Australia, combined with short holidays here and there. Smile From day 49/74, I was accompanied by my dear son, geocacher Ruupertti, who travelled from Finland to visit me in Australia and to spend a holiday with me in New Zealand at the end of my secondment. Day 70/74, Sunday. Finally time for our holiday in the beautiful New Zealand, day 6/7! What could be a better way to start a day than a scenic helicopter tour in the beautiful Queenstown! It was a great, great experience! Smile After that, we spent hours in the Kiwi Park because we really wanted to see some kiwis. It was a great visit! The rest of the day we spent in and around Queenstown and really loved the town. My son actually decided that he wants to move there. Smile We had a lovely day!Thank you for the cache and greetings from Vaasa, Finland!Logged with [GCDroid](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gcdroid).

We found the original cache in 2017, when we were able to park practically beside it. Today we had to park further away, but the cache was a quick easy find, although it seemed a few metres south of the coordinates. A surprising number of planes took off just above us while we were there. TFTC

Grabbed this today to make my 4th on the Leap Day, I found a geocoin in Athol, it's trying to get to Easter Island, or go SW. I took it west, but not South - thought the airport would be a good way to get it on the moveAlso had some spare waterproof paper, so added a couple of sheets, so plenty of log to sign now. TFTC
 
27-Feb-24

We are on a trip in New Zealand. A wonderful country with a lot of (old )caches. There are too many caches so we limit ourselves to the (old) gems or where we happen to make a stop. Went for a nice run this morning and stopped at this cacheTeamCacheventures, thank you for this cache, regards xizat-NL. Take care, this hobby can develop to an addiction.

We arrived in New Zealand 17 January. After two nights in Wellington, we embarked on a 10-day cruise around the South Island. This morning we traveled by bus from Bluff to Queenstown. Because we had five hours before our flight to Auckland, I walked over to log this cache. There was a TB in the inventory but it was not present in the cache. I did drop another TB here and hope it will be picked to travel some more. TFTC and the opportunity to stretch my legs.

I was on the way back to the appartement and wanted to find this one as the last one on my successful morning trip. Finding the cache was not a problem. COs are prefect and the hide cannot be more typical. But getting around was a challenge. This is a car country and finding the right approach on walkways was not the easiest tast. But on a scooter one more extra kilometer does not really matter.Thx for hiding.

Final day in NZ after a 2 week holiday from SouthOz. Explored Queenstown, the Catlins and TeAnau. 116km walked with 2800 vertical metres, and more importantly 313 geocaches found, with this being the final one.This is trip 3 for us to NZ and it wont be the last. Love it here. Do I have to leave? Thinking of ripping up my boarding pass and doing a runner...

Day 3: QueenstownThe agenda for today for to fly down from Auckland to Queenstown, and cache around the area before heading off to the next stop. This is my second time in Queenstown, and this time, I wanted to visit (and revisit) some of the nicer places in the region, and pick up the new ALs that have sprung up. The weather was pretty good for the most parts, which was a welcome change from Auckland, so things went smoothly despite an early hiccup with the rental car at the airport.(End of the cut and paste bit)Heres the specific log for this cache: First cache in Queenstown for this trip, and what I did was to walk out from the terminal. The real goal was the virtual at Kawarau Falls but this was a convenient want to get along the way. Easy find in a not-so-pleasant location, but all is good with the cache. TFTC!
