Geocache Description:

The cache is a 1L tupperware container. The trick is going to be finding it without anyone seeing you. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE be very careful when looking for this one - eyes are everywhere in this area and I want this cache to last for a long time. I am going to give the exact location in the hint and a photo as well but please don't retrieve it if people are around.

The Swakop Lighthouse if well known in town. I first saw it many years ago on the TV show "The Amazing Race 3" - teams had to race to the top of it and look around for marked vehicles.

Now a days the lighthouse is a wonderful breakfast/lunch spot where you can mingle with rabbits, chickens and other birds. The cache is located in a park juswt outside of the gate (no need to go in the yard). It will be best to find this after 5PM when the restaurant is not open because you will be clearly seen by people eating in the yard.

Small note on cache maintenance: Friend who lives in the area will assist with cache maintenance between my visits. Contact info on file with geocaching.com
