What does one do, when arriving at the airport with an ardent geocacher (and a muggle in tow) – go hunting a cache of course!
Geocaching Italy Souvenir
Surprisingly, Rome Fiumicino Airport has a Tracker Bug Hotel cache within it’s carpark, a short walk from the terminal building and railway station; Getting outside proved an excursion, as we followed the signs to the trains, whereas a short cut was followed on the return… at the GZ, the cache was quickly found by my cacher-companion (TheDoctor12), the log signed, and the Italy souvenir gained. All to the bemused observation of our muggle companion.
I dropped off two trackers that have have been long-standing residents in my backpack… hopefully they can now continue their travels; likewise we logged but left two of the three listed resident bugs – the third appeared to be missing.
It was only when looking up the details of the two I realised that Helga the Hippo wants to get to Farnborough – my home town!!! An opportunity missed, but hopefully someone else can bring her back to the UK.
