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. 😢

Found GC4MDKN rijLes
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 GC9XDZ7 het kinderbadje
This checkin to GC9XDZ7 het kinderbadje reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. At the end of a work trip to Amsterdam, came out this morning to find a few geocaches before catching the train back home. Thanks for the history lesson! SL, 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 …

Found GCADM5E Rembrandt park #2
On my way out for pizza with my work colleagues, a quick and easy find in the first place I looked. SL, TFTC!

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. 😢

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.

To Protect Migrants From Police, a Dutch Church Service Never Ends
by Patrick Kingsley ...[A] marathon church service, which started more than six weeks ago, and hasn’t stopped since, can never take a break.
Under an obscure Dutch law, the police may not disrupt a church service to make an arrest. And so for the past six weeks, immigration officials have been unable to enter Bethel Church …
