The past weeks

Being on parental leave and partially in the offline world over the past weeks has caused my blog to run a bit dry. So being back in Munich it’s a good time to wrap up some of things that happened.

I’ve had my first ever geocaching giga event (Mia san Giga!). In fact, the whole world had its first giga event on 16 August 2014. Though I only stayed shortly at the main event, I, together with some fellow cachers (greetz), used the day to do some more geocaching and had a nice walking tour somewhere south of Munich.c5556ad3-370b-4077-9349-49e3ab7ed949

After that, we took off for some holidays in and around Berlin, which turned out to be surprisingly disconnected from the online world, again full of geocaching and filled with meetings … with friends, not work (greetz to everyone).

On our way back home, and due to the twelve hours of horrible traffic on the southbound highways we had already faced, we decided to have a little break and stay for one night in Nuremberg. We got ourselves a room in a well located Youth Hostel, right next to the old castle and used the time to see some parts of the city.

Now we are back in Munich trying to get back to a bit of routine …

GeoCaching in Copenhagen

You’ve probably heard of geo caching before … so did I, but never really cared. But after my parents got pretty excited about it last week and we had two good friends and passionate geo cachers as visitors for the weekend (greetz L&M), we decided to combine our little Copenhagen tourist tour with a little geo hunt :)

After discovering seven caches on Saturday, it seems it caught me and I finally registered on Sunday to join the hunt …
It seems like a nice thing to do to see place you otherwise might end up going … we’ll see.

Only the pricing model of GeoCaching.com is something I did and still do not really fancy!
With only the basic and free account you simply cannot do much :( Also the Android app costs about seven euros.

Fortunately there is c:geo for Android which is free and my choice for now … though it has some troubles in the offline mode that I haven’t figured out yet.

Here’s my currently not so impressive stats:
