Geocache Description:



The above coordinates are bogus, i.e. not the location of the cache. They will at least provide you with the location of an area around 500m from the cache, where you can enjoy a quick bite.

For this puzzle cache, I am going to take you on a virtual tour of Europe. Your feet will hardly touch the ground! So, if you have never been to Europe before, now's your chance. You'll see London, Paris, Amsterdam, Rome, ... In fact many of the continent's finest cities. So, fasten your seat belt and away we go.

In order to determine the location of the cache, you will need to decode the puzzle given here. The cache is located at:

E° EH.KJG’ North, EBJ° AB.GEG’ East

You’ll be able to decode the letters A through K while on your tour:

A …….. 38° 46’ 00.60” N, 9° 7’ 55.50” W (2nd digit)

B …….. 55° 36’ 50.92” N, 12° 39’ 58.26” E (2nd digit)

C …….. 48° 59’ 44.69” N, 2° 33’ 13.97” E (2nd digit)

D …….. 41° 48’ 47.20” N, 12° 16’ 30.93” E (2nd digit)

E …….. 40° 29’ 03.63” N, 3° 34’ 31.71” W (1st digit)

F …….. 53° 26’ 00.85” N, 6° 14’ 36.58” W (2nd digit)

G …….. 52° 23’ 19.33” N, 13° 33’ 12.07” E (1st digit)

H …….. 51° 27’ 53.78” N, 0° 26’ 6.75” W (2nd digit)

J …….. 52° 17’ 29.53” N, 4° 46’ 38.99” E (1st digit)

K …….. 47° 28’ 30.90” N, 8° 32’ 10.55” E (2nd digit)

(If you are flying Google Earth Airlines, you may even see the ghost plane while flying into Rome: 41° 50' 47.88" N, 12° 15' 40.54" E).

The cache is a small well-marked plastic box containing log and pencil.
