    Sorry sorry sorry that is what I should say first.

    I really kept Freddy with me way too long, but I have good excuses....

    Since I found Freddy, I have spent time in Kosovo and there are only a few caches around which are not visited very regularly. I was afraid that if I would drop Freddy off in one of those, he would be stuck for a very long time (as well).

    Then in the meantime I got back to Holland, but forgot to bring Freddy with me. That was stupid, but not much I could do about it once I was in Holland.

    Later on I was back in Kosovo and wanted to do some more caching, but the winter season started and 50cm of snow makes it close to impossible to find anything.

    Then the better weather started and I was getting ready to get out and about again. However, my boss had other plans with me and sent me to (Democratic Republic of) Congo for a few months.

    At first I thought that would be a great jump for Freddy, but I soon found out that there was no a single cache near Kinshasa, so Freddy came back with me from Congo back to Holland.

    Then finally today, I went on a cache hunt again in Holland and dropped him off.

    So, looking at only the caches, Freddy made a short travel in all those months, but in fact, it went up and down the equator and across Europe for a few times.

    I still have the travel bug. It's nice and dry in Kosovo. Caches are as plenty as other places in the world, so no chance yet to set Freddy free.

    I did place 2 caches in my surrounding, but before I place Freddy in one of those, I first want to see how they are doing.

    Next month I will be in Holland again. If I can't go to any of the caches in Macedonia in the mean while, then I will certainly drop it off back in Holland

    I work for the United Nations in Kosovo (in the Balkans) and I am currently back in my home country for a medical leave. Geocaching is still quite new in Kosovo, but I plan to take this TB with me there and set Freddy free there (unless I have to stay much longer in Holland, then I will drop it off in the next big enough cache I find)
