This cache starts at one of the
most famous locations in the city centre at waypoint
1.
The name of this square was
known throughout the world, especially during the flower power era.
A = the number of letters in the name of the square.
The monument on this square has depictions of humans on it.
B = the number of humans on the monument.
The back side of the monument has two distinct numbers on it.
C = the second digit of either number.
The monument is ‘guarded’ in front of it by lions. D = the
number of lions.
The monument is based upon a number of circular steps, favorite
for people to sit on. E = the number of
steps.
Waypoint 2 is at a
building in a small street of Amsterdam. The building’s name is
“Ons Huis” (“Our Home”). It’s indeed a place where a distinct
minority can feel safe and at home.
There are a number of nude
portraits on the windows of “Our Home”. This number + D – A =
F
The name of the organization that is situated at this location is
on a large sign on the wall. It’s a three letter name. G =
the number which is the middle letter of the name.
H = the second digit of the number of the address of “Our
Home”.
Waypoint 3 is at
probably THE most famous monument/museum in
Amsterdam.
Adding up the numbers in the
address of this monument, one comes to double digits. Only 1 digit
is needed as I.
J = the number of the stop of the museum boat in front of
this museum.
This gives you all the
information you need to get to the cache location at waypoint
4.
The cache is a small plastic
box, which contains (amongst other things) a log, a pen and a
pencil. PLEASE, leave those in for the next
visitor.
At birth, it contained a gift
certificate for the first finder to spend very near to the
cache.
This cache is the home to
2 travel bugs (‘Love From Holland’ (TB121B0) & ‘Human Rights
Are Gay Rights’ (TB11RQ5), which both have the goal to leave home
for a trip around the world (in opposite directions), returning to
this cache after their adventure.
I hope you’ll enjoy the city,
some of its monuments and the cache!
