Cocoriosity* Traditional Geocache

This cache has been archived.

moooment: Sometimes it's strange. You have a perfect idea, the perfect cache, foolproof. Then there's something that just doesn't work out; in my case the materials I had to rely on and which I cannot replace.
So this is my first and hopefully only cache in my caching history I will archive without being found... Nonetheless, that three-headed coconut tree is definitely worth seeing. You are still free to write a note if I encouraged you to take the detour an marvel this exciting piece of nature.

Tja, es hat nicht sollen sein. Perfekte Idee, perfekter Cache, idiotensicher. Und dann geht was schief; in meinem Fall das verwendete Material, das ich allerdings nicht erneuern oder ersetzen kann.
Dies ist also mein erster und hoffentlich einziger Cache in meiner Laufbahn, den ich archiviere, ohne dass er jemals gefunden wurde. Nichtsdestotrotz, diese dreiköpfige Kokospalme ist definitiv einen Umweg wert. Sollte ich Euch dazu ermutigt haben, freue ich mich über einen Logeintrag.

Geocache Description:

COCORIOSITY*

*There is a number of cocoriosities here in Tonga. I do not want to dwell on the stunning abundance of possible uses of the coconut tree ("niu") – a master piece of the creator – for food production, building materials and numerous utilities. What I want to show you is this three-headed coconut tree. It is not only unique to the Kingdom of Tonga but likely for the whole Pacific region (please, prove me wrong).

Footnotes:
Please bring a permanent marker pen! Apart from that, nothing else is required. Please note that there is no space for TBs and items to swap. Don't forget to take pictures of this cocoriosity and upload them with your log.
If you are a tourist, you can have a stop on your 'mandatory' Tongatapu island tour by rental car or taxi. It is not far from the Mapu 'a Vaea blowholes in Houma. It is also within cycling distance from Nuku'alofa or you can take the bus to Liahona. If you miss the last one back or you don't want to wait, hitch-hiking ("suto") is very convenient in Tonga and you might find new friends along the way.
