Geocache Description:

Milford Sound in New Zealand

Punta de San Vigilio
Punta San Vigilio is one of the worlds hidden gems. A unique place, that has not changed in 500 years, where living magical moments is normal. During the last 500 years San Vigilio has brightened the days of millions of people. It inspired artists, embraced philosophers and touched humanists whilst celebrating new and old loves. Emperors like Napoleon and Tsar ALexander II, royals like Prince CHarles of Wales and King Juan Carlos of Spain and Heads of State like Winston Churchil and the German President Kohl, have all found peace from a stressful life in San Vigilio. To this day it is still possible to stay in Locanda San Vigilio and share a magical experience with your loved ones.

Here you have to do some math. Don´t worry, it´s not that tricky...


Question at Stage 1:

Stage 2 is at:
N 45° 34.000 + A, E 010° 40.000 + A

Stage 3 is at:
N 45° 32.417 + B, E 010° 40.039 + C


Question at stage 3:

According to the sign: From which century is this olive tree?

D = X.century --> 200

D = XI.century --> 500

Have a coffee and look at the attached picture of a geographic marking point below...



Geographic Marker

How many of these geographic markings can you find on the public pier? (not the private pier for hotel guests only on the right)

E = 2

E = 4
E = 5



Calculate F for the Final now:

F = (A+B+C+D) / E


Final is at:
N 45° 32.614 + F, E 010° 42.240 - F

Attention:
High water levels may require wadding to the Final!!


(Round up if you have to)
