Evan and I did tour, and we had plenty of opportunities to go off on our own. For this one, we had a little bit of a walk before we found the area the cache was in. And once we were there, it because a game of trying to find the cache. We resorted to the hint, and then the logs, and ultimately came to the conclusion that others searching around that time did as well - there was no cache container, but there were tons of logs in a hole.
Another day on the trip that we had to ourselves. This time, we did a primarily walking/buggy tour that spent a majority of the time in the old city (which is beautiful!). Part of the tour, though, took us up a cable car to a lovely view. And wouldn't you know it, on this lovely view was a geocache with a view: Ragvsevm. Just take a look at the photos in the old logs in this cache, and you can see how nice this spot was.
I'd recommend exploring the old city. There are museums hidden in a lot of spaces, beautiful churches, and a lovely wall to take a look at.
Evan and I had the day to ourselves in Greece, so we did one of our favorite type of tours: a 4x4 drive. The tour was fun, and as there was an uneven number of folks, Evan's patience paid off and got us a car to ourselves. We drove up hills, through small towns where the car barely fit between buidings, and a little offroad as well.
As part of the tour, at one of the pauses, Evan and I found the Old Town cache. The cache was hidden in a beautiful location, and we enjoyed making this find.
This was another day on our cruise, and another stop where we did a tour with Evan's parents. This time, however, we had a tour guide who knew all about geocaching and even helped us look for it. So, during the tour, we stopped to find this cache (Il primo bacio), and I think the log I made says all I can for this one.
"Thanks for this cache in a wonderful place. We had a grate time."
Monaco is so beautiful! Had to get that out right away - a truly lovely port. Due to the nature of this port, however, Evan's parents opted to stay on the ship while "the kids" explored. We took a hop-on hop-off bus around the city to get a quick tour, then we set out on our own in a few different places.
One place we explored was a hill with a long ramp to walk up, hence the name of the geocache here: La Condamine - La rampe Major. It wasn't hard to find, but there were tons of muggles so that was, of course, fun. Wonderful location for a cache!
Evan and I took a cruise with his family from Barcelona to Venice, and we had a lot of lovely stops along the way. At this particular port in Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, France, Evan's parents booked us a private tour that catered well to his dad's needs. The tour was a mixed of mini bus and walking in accessible areas, and it was a real treat.
As a part of the day, we went to a museum in the town. Across from the museum was a geocache, Maison des Alpilles, so of course we found it. The tour guide hadn't heard of geocaching before, but she was on board to wait for us as we found and signed the log.
