Today we visited another favourite port of Madeira. When I was here last year with Rumrunner1 we did a few caches here and had a couple of DNF’s. I would return to do some newly placed caches and try sort out last year’s DNF’s. <\/p>\n

We all headed off the ship and did a Travel Bug Hotel<\/a>. While Sue and Malcom were not sure it was located where the GPS had us because it just didn’t make sense I got on all fours and had it in hand, okay one shouldn’t glue metal to a cement wall that holds the cache box.<\/p>\n

From here it was off to a cache called R.A.M. (Regional da Regi\u00e3o Autonoma da Madeira) that I DNF on last year. Upon arrival I began the search and within a few seconds Sue yells I have it. What the heck we looked there last year I said. THis one is now off my DNF list.
\nUpon arrival home I have found out that the cache has been placed back in it’s original location by the owner so who knows now. <\/p>\n

It was then off to a new cache called Funchal City<\/a> that had muggles sitting at the location of the cache. We waited for some time and the cache was soon in hand.<\/p>\n

Here is a square next to the cache location with a fountain.<\/p>\n

After this cache we headed to another cache called Socorro<\/a> that was a DNF last year. The problem with this cache was the coordinates last year were out and were again this year out. The location of the cache was in a tree. We checked all the tree’s on the side of the street the coordinates had us at and no deal. I was determined to find this one and not leave it as a DNF. I was off to across the street and the church and check the trees there. It was not long before I had the cache some 60m away from ground zero (GZ). <\/p>\n

Walking to the cache. Cars do not slow down for you on the road.

After this cache we grabbed one more and then back to the ship. It was a great day and low and behold we managed to walk almost 7 km today.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
