  • Dan, sat on a bench in Amsterdam, waves.

    Found GC80871 Amsterdam #9

    This checkin to GC80871 Amsterdam #9 reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. After a lot of walking so far this morning I was glad of the opportunity to stop and take a rest nearby while I signed the log. TFTC, and greetings from Oxfordshire, UK.

  • Dan holds the hand of a statue, as if guiding it, as it "carries" a log through a park.

    Found GCAFD8Q Klim OP

    This checkin to GCAFD8Q Klim OP reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. Hiding place is a bit damp and grimy but a bit of digging through leaf litter soon revealed the cache. The nearby climbing frame is epic: my kids would love it! Greetings from Oxfordshire, UK. TFTC.

    Found GCAD0V7 HJKM Gifts and TB Hotel

    This checkin to GCAD0V7 HJKM Gifts and TB Hotel reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. Amazing geocache, FP awarded! I've been visiting Amsterdam for the last few days to meet up with work colleagues from around the world, but this morning I'm having a bit of an explore/geocaching expedition before โ€ฆ

  • Did not find GC3VCTT Blue Toolbox

    This checkin to GC3VCTT Blue Toolbox reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. Found some obvious hiding places that met the hint. Even found evidence that a geocacher had been here before me. But couldn't find the cache today. ๐Ÿ˜ข

    This checkin to GC4MDKN rijLes reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. As soon as I was in the vicinity I caught sight of the clever cache container. Log is sadly very wet and was hard to sign. TFTC!

    Found GC9MY4J IJtunnel

    This checkin to GC9MY4J IJtunnel reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. My work team and I have been meeting in Amsterdam, but this is our "afternoon off" so we're going to the maritime museum. I'm not convinced that the person I found was particularly beautiful, but I appreciated the hint โ€ฆ

    Found GCADM5E Rembrandt park #2

    Found GCA7Q4A Elephant Parade

    Big thanks to the cache owner for their note. Somehow I'd not seen the obvious route. Followed a family of ducks and soon found the cache location. FP awarded in part for the lovely cache but mostly for the attentive CO who posted a note so promptly. TFTC!

    Found GCA1JJ5 Gemaal Mercatorstraat

    After failing to find nearby GCA7Q4A "Elephant Parade" owing to construction work, I was hopeful of a find here. The coordinates put me exactly on top of a likely hiding place, and with a little exploration (and some pretending to tie my shoes!) I had the cache in my hand. SL, TFTC. Listened for water pumping but couldn't hear any over the traffic noise, I'm afraid!

    Did not find GCA7Q4A Elephant Parade

    Finding the elephant and the numbers was easy. But some construction is happening at the GZ and I couldn't see a safe/permitted way to get close. ๐Ÿ˜ข

    Found GCADMXH Rembrandt park #3

    I've recently changed team at work, so my new team and I have gotten together - from the UK, France, Poland, India and South Africa - here in Amsterdam to meet up in person and do some work "together" for a change: normally we work entirely distributed. After our day of work we did an escape room together, then on our way to dinner I dragged them out of their way a bit to find this geocache.

As an actual magician, I've no need for such frivolities. Instead, as I'm passing anyway on my way to a train โ€ฆ
