This week of school holiday isn’t as calm on the geocaching front as I expected. I dropped the son at a playfellow yesterday. It was a bit strange though. Normally, he doesn’t enjoy shopping at all and disappears towards the comics corner and I have always to search for him when I’ve finished shopping. Yesterday, his friend asked him if he would join a ‘trip’ to a well know Swedish furniture store. My son seems to have enjoyed it as well.
First day of my holiday with the kids whilst the wife went to work. I had planned a visit to the cinema. It was the first week the movie Bolt in a local cinema a bit further from home. It’s still one of the few small scale chain, independent from the big players. /p Read more…
Today was one of these gloomy days and the wife didn’t want to do a cache in the rain, even if it was a letterbox cache. Instead we went to visit the Africa museum in Tervuren which isn’t that far away from home. It has been somewhat 15 years ago that I’ve visited it. The museum is doing their best to cast off their musty image and it shows.
Today started a week holiday. The kids have no school the following week and I ‘volunteered’ to entertain them. That means that not a lot of gecaching will happen. Not that they don’t like it, but I needs to be short without a lot of hiking and in good weather conditions. Maybe I can persuade them to tackle a small multi with a cinema visit as reward.
My geoaching WE started Friday rather scary. I wanted to tackle Missiehuis GC1MFX8, yet another fine cache from Freggie. Read more…
I frequently visit Hasselt, the capital of taste, for several reasons. Read more…
After the caching raid last monday, this WE seems rather slow geocaching wise. But there some ‘extenuating circumstances’ which I can as excuse. First of all, I had to go to hospital for a checkup after a surgery nearly 2 years ago. My lower jaw was unlinked and reconstructed for orthodontic reasons. I guess the surgeon wanted to know if his masterwork was still in one piece. I knew that I had some time left before it was my turn – I had an appointment at 5:45PM and I was still there at 8PM – , so I decided to discover a couple of cashes on my way to the hospital.

Jshults is the guy who let me discover new scripts that makes geocaching much easier. In an earlier blog, I mentioned that he tweeted about the GC Tour script (which I use frequently now). Now he tweets about the Advanced Nuvi Macro.
Today was the big day. I wanted to achieve two things: getting my 100th find and breaking a day record. In order to achieve this, I mapped a route out of 20 caches in the French speaking (aka Walloon) part of Belgium. But things didn’t start as expected. Read more…
Sunday = scouts day = caching day. The girls didn’t want to join me (again) and went for a swim instead. I nearly didn’t go geocaching either. Just when I wanted to depart, I got this painful stomachache. After a while it disappeared though. Read more…
