NZ road trip with Schlitz13. On our tour we had the time to look for some caches. We found them, and some special places of interest or great views.

TFTC!
 
08-Nov-13
For the first time during our visit to New Zealand the weather was getting really worse. We headed north-east for our next destination: Dunedin. But first we visited the very small Te Anau Wildlife Center. The whole day was very cold and we only looked for geocaches and tried to get further on to Dundin. Finally we arrived at the Royal Albatross Center just in time for taking a private tour, that was even in german as the tour guide Sabine and all visitors are german.

This was a quick stop over, park and grab cache, not that hard to find, thanks.

Found orginally as part of phasevisitor team, now created own account, re-logging as yorkshirekiwi83.

We are currently on holiday in Southland, visiting from Auckland, together with HOLE-IN-ONE2, who is visiting from the UK. Today we drove from Queenstown to Invercargill, picking up some caches along the way. Quickly found, but it was in the other corner from where we were expecting, but guess it depends on which way you are facing? Thanks for the cache!

Day 12 of our NZ tour for the MEGA, we are visiting from Perth, Western Australia.

We headed out of Gore today about 9.30am with the aim of stopping overnight in Queenstown. You can't travel too far when there are so many caches to stop you every few km's. (unless you go past some of course.....Wink )

Another quick find here. Found a pathtag in the cache so swapped for a FelixII visits NZ Mega.

Decided to take a small detour while on our way South and Mrs Yeetrees went and found this cache while waiting for me to turn the car around. Found the cache without too much issues but when we opened it we found the logbook was a bit damp and was full as well, BUT we managed to squeeze our name into the logbook. I think that we had waited long enough at GZ and decided it was time to move on, another nice spot for a cache, thanks for bringing us here, TFTC TNLNSL (2949)
