London Tour, Part 1 (Friday, 09/04/2009)

From 09/04/2009 to 09/06/2009 I have with a friend of mine a trip (my mother had won a competition, it) made in London. The travel information:

• evening from Hoek van Holland to Harwich on a ferry with cabin and British breakfast in the morning (arrival around 6:30).
• the train to London (arrival 8:30)
• back evening (about 20:20) with the train to Harwich
• English Breakfast in the morning and then from Hoek van Holland on Sunday morning had

All I combined with a terra caching tour :-)

After we got our rental car we went to the first cache: "Waypoint West" (TC9ZI), a nic particularly interesting ht Terra Cache: it was to establish in a GPS-business, to bring to the web camera to save the file and to log the cache with the image. Was not a major problem (see photo). Unfortunately, this was the only cache on the day in which we were successful :-(

Next it went to Delft to "Toorenhoog Delft" (TCWZ). Here was the task of the church tower in the fact very nice small town to climb up there and then to take a picture. The church, we have quickly found, unfortunately I was not allowed up the tower because of the strong wind. I have an alternative, a photo made before the church and wrote to the owner of the cache and reports on the problems and asked if would be OK, but unfortunately I have still no answer :-(

get Regardless, Delft was so very nice :-)

Then it went to "Doelpaad (TC4GB). Here we were not able to find, although there was a real box hidden. The path to the cache led past a Dutch farm, the path was partially used for the cattle drive, which led to a funny story: a farmer's herd led by the pasture to the said court (see photo). One of the cows came up to me and sniffed curiously at my arm :-) Then we gave a little talk with the farmer and told him what we do here (geocaching). He was interested, and there had heard of :-)

The last cache was "Vuurtoren Maasvlakte. (Second Edition) "(TC4KT), a lighthouse next to the sea. There were two tasks here:

• a quick photo of themselves in front of the lighthouse. No problem (see photo).
• related to the cache itself.
  

Also this cache, we could not find, unfortunately. I suspect that the cache was stolen, because around the lighthouse took place works, lying around everywhere pipes . Again, I have written to the owner of the cache and described him our problems and asked if the photo is sufficient per se. Sorry, there was also no answer yet :-(

then finally to the ship :-) We arrived on time, checked in and went through a long, long gangway to the ship. There was a minor problem: both our key card and the card did not work a flight attendant. Then we got a new car, which had a very positive side effect: the other cabin was a 4-person cabin and thus significantly larger than the original :-)

The wind, which has resulted in the promise of a problem has not really abated, on the contrary, on the sun deck of the ship, the wind was so strong, that I almost flew the spectacles from the nose! The captain also told something about a stormy sea, but we've finally stabilizers.

That was an understatement not really - the swell was noticed much, but really different than I thought: it felt in bed as if I was in an old train on rough rail line traveling from and slowed the ship to really (probably as it in a Shaft is driven). I was seasick, despite a headache but no, I have imagined far worse.

In the next post then more :-)
