How I came to geocaching? Well, I had a friend over this weekend. We've talked about geocaching before but it wasn't until she was in my place that I thought about doing it myself. She showed me their website http://geocaching.com and got me all excited. There are soooo many caches hidden around here. I never thought Stralsund oder Ruegen would be offering stuff like that!!!
We quickly set up my PDA with the GPSTuner software (a demo version, but I think I'll actually buy this piece of software) and then picked our first geocaches for Stralsund. The very first one was an easy find for my friend who had been geocaching before. Perfect to get me even more into it. We decided to try again after dinner, but unfortunately we have already been walking around town for too long that day, so we became tired pretty quickly and didn't find any more caches. But the next day we were a lot more successful: 3 caches found on the island of Ruegen, one in Stralsund (the one we had tried the day before), another one nearly found (we didn't bring the flashlight as we didn't think we'd stay out that long) and one more that we started...
I can't wait to get off work this afternoon to retrieve that nearly-found one.
Looking forward to more geocaching now. Will try a few in New Zealand next week, where I'll be on a business trip.
