Logs for TmGrandemotte 

Nice AdLab along the waterfront. Found on our way to the ferry. TFTC 

We enjoyed this adlab around North Head with fabulous views on our last day in NZ. Quickly spotted at GZ. TFTC 

Our last cache in NZ before we depart for Bangkok. Our first cache was 2 months ago at Christchurch airport and here we are at Auckland airport after the trip of a lifetime. TFTC 

We spotted the red herring before spitting the cache. TFTC 

Spotted on approach. Signed and returned as found. 

We have seen this type of hide here in NZ before. This wouldnt stand the test of a NE England winter. TFTC 

Great TB hotel. We discovered the TBs and took a lovely geocoin. TFTC 

We checked out somewhere else first before turning our attention to GZ. TFTC 

Oh what fun we had. We have done ones like this before but they are always fun. Have an FP 

Once we had the correct hint item it was a quick find. TFTC 

We spotted the AdLabs so made our way here from Mt Victoria. Nice walk. The cache took some finding and Mr eventually found it in a place where Mrs had sort of looked before. Sneaky. 

This took some finding and we walked away 3 times before I be last look. We tripped over it every time before stopping to look. TFTC 

We checked out many things until Mrs had a moment then it was sorted quickly. TFTC. 

Quick find in passing on our way to the ferry port. TFTC 

Our last day in NZ and our first find of 2024. Quickly spotted. Signed & returned as found. TFTC 

We have walked past here a couple of times and not realised we were so close. Last day in NZ today so picked up on our way to the ferry. TFTC 

Not where we thought it would be but found nonetheless. The fish is smaller than expected too. TFTC 

It could have been in lots of places and we searched many before eventually finding it. Lid is missing. TFTC. Magnificent tree 

We wandered up and down for a while till Mrs had a moment. TFTC 

A very small memorial for VE Day. Quick find then time for a picnic with a view. TFTC 

We remember the sinking of the Rainbow warrior, but hadnt remembered it was in Auckland harbour. Quick find at GZ. TFTC 

We managed to track this down before the monsoon deluge arrived. We had to shelter in a bus stop. It was like being in a power shower. Email sent to owner and permission to log recievedNB: we had forgotten to take a photo due to the rain, so we came back on a better day to take the photo. Impressive uni campus. TFTC 

We should have found this much quicker than we did. Cracking spot for a game of cricket. TFTC 

Back over here to take a forgotten photo for the Virtual. No deluging rain today so we followed the arrow around to here. Quick find at GZ. No Flax though and the container is broken . TFTC We are from the UK and have been travelling around NZ for the last 2 months. Our sojourn is drawing to a close. We have had the most memorable time of our lives. 

We searched for this a few days ago but got nowhere. We then refreshed our listing and noticed the coords had moved. Thats more like it. We had searched there. Then the penny dropped. Have an FP 

That was a tug up that hill in this lovely park. Quick find as we went straight to it. TFTc 

We got there a bit early but not being locals we werent sure of the area. It may have been OK but we decided against it as we felt very vulnerable 

We searched the wrong tree first but then spotted a potential hiding place. TFTC 

Our friend had recommended we take a look at the War Memorial museum so after finding the other caches we came for this virtual. We paid our respects at the Cenotaph as always. TFTC Photo supplied with our favourite purple pen. 

We had seen the number of FPs this cache has amassed do had to check it out. We knew what to do and found some handy TOTT nearby. We soon retrieved the container. TFTC. We will add to the FP tally. 

A great way of seeing areas of the domain we wouldnt have looked at. Answer sent to ECO. TFTCs photos attached 

Two of the stages were missing but we were able to guess the answer for one stage and the answer is in the description for the another one. Maybe its time to sort this out as looking back its been an issue for at least 13 mths. Found quickly at GZ 

This further from the path than we expected it to be. Spot on co-ords and an excellent hint and we soon had it in hand. TFTC 

Found as we were pacing out the crater rim. TFTC 

Very interesting info on the boards. Glad we didnt miss it. TFTC 

I am assured we will get a good view of the fireworks for which we have travelled 19,000kms to see. See you there. 

Mr wanted to continue the adventure so he decided to go for this whilst Mrs stayed on the path. He gingerly made his way across the lave field until GZ was spotted. A search around the tree proved fruitless, the obvious places exhausted. As a last gasp attempt he spotted a potential GZ and there it was. But it was returned in a more appropriate place to the hint. Have an FP for the adventure TFTC 

Quick find at GZ as we head for our ferry. Took tb. TFTC 

We were heading down and back towards the wharf. Quick find. TFTC 

The pohutukawa is Mrs first fave tree on our visit to NZ. We just happened to be here when it was at its most beautiful. Quick find at GZ. TFTC 

Mrs spotted this one as we detoured here on our way to the ferry. TFTC 

Mr found this very quickly whilst Mrs read the info boards. TFTC 

Brilliant EarthCache. We have done some excellent ones in NZ and this one is up there. Answers sent to ECO. TFTC 

We love the history behind the bachs. Its interesting reading about who lived in & owned them down the years. Shame so many have gone. Wish I had known about the earlier. It would have been great to stay in one. TFTC 

Having done the very enjoyable AdLab we collected the bonus before climbing the volcano. TFTC 

We were here before we knew it! Stopped to check distance and it was 2 foot from our toes. TFTC 

This was a brilliant cache. We nearly didnt do it as it seemed a way off the path and we had been told to stick to the path. So glad we detoured. Have an FP. 

Quickly found with an excellent hint before climbing the volcano. TFTC. 

It was like walking through a fairy glen to get here. Stunning. The kidney ferns are beautiful. Quick find at GZ. TFTC 

Took us an age to find our way to the square as we were approaching from the wrong direction. Answers sent to VCO
